Peng Heong Hakka Paikut Restaurant @ Klang

September 16, 2009 | 2,381 views | 29 Comments »

Peng Heong Hakka Paikut Restaurant in Klang takes pride in its impressive 16 years run in the gourmet scene, previously operating at a stall on Lorong Gudang Nanas in Klang. The humble stall has since into its own premise, a corner lot on the same road off Jalan Pasar in Klang.

The exceptionally tender, almost melts-in-mouth texture of the spare ribs marinated and served with a sweetish gravy – Spare Ribs King, no doubt.

“Paikut” refers to spare ribs, and at Peng Heong, their signature Spare Ribs King is a boneless fillet of tender pork served in a variety of portions. Priced from RM6, onwards for a serving, one can opt for the bigger portions at RM8, RM10 and RM20 respectively, proportional to the chunks of meat served with their traditionally-concocted sweet and savoury sauce.

Homecooked Hakka Dishes @ Pandan Indah, KL

December 24, 2008 | 303 views | 13 Comments »

Are you singing Hallelujah … yet? Eve of public holidays got me a little … hyped up, sometimes. And salivating at the prospects of a long, long holidays. Away from work, from the office. And ushering in the new year, with hundreds of resolutions unfulfilled over the years, digged out from the closet and revamped.

Roughly translated to “Home-Cooked Dishes Restaurant”

No turkey or Xmas pudding yet. Though doubtful we’re gonna have any. But the ever-present fruit cakes in my house may masquerade as food of the season.

Here’s something from Pandan Indah, Kuala Lumpur. Another good find, amidst the hundreds (possibly) of eateries around the area. A simple restaurant serving everyday dishes, mostly Hakka-influenced ones. At reasonable prices, and with rather tantalising taste.

They serve individual meals, as well as dishes to go with rice, or noodles

I’ve passed by this outlet countless times, but never had the interest to step in. The signboard only shows Chinese characters, hence a banana like yours truly could not grasp what category this restaurant falls into. Until my aunt brought me over one fine day …..

Water Chestnut + Sugar Cane Drink

You can even see the stalk (?) of sugarcane in the drink. Soothing ‘Leung Sui’ (herbal tea), perfect for the rainy weather that afternoon. The whole of KL was shrouded in the mist and non-stop rainfall that particular day.

Mui Choy Kau Yuk (Preserved Vegetables with Fat Pork Belly)

One of the staple food of the Hakkas; the Mui Choy Kau Yuk served here was commendable, with soft/tender braised pork belly, not overwhelmingly fat and greasy. Though not as stellar as the one I’ve had in Hong Kong (click HERE to drool), at about RM6-7 per serving, the dish scored brownie points with us.

Blanched Choy Sum

A simple dish of greens. Compulsory, and guilt-free. I can’t sing praises for such a simple dish, but served with some fragrant fried garlic bits, the greens served its purpose perfectly.

Salted Chicken

And the third dish for both of us, the Salted Chicken with herbs. Another resemblance to the one served in Cheun Cheung Koi in HK. Smooth, tender flesh, infused with the strong herbal taste of the sauce, a rather healthy choice, albeit the saltiness. But complemented the rice very well.

Far from hearty or something of gastronomic stature, yet a safe choice for lunch or dinner. And endorsed by 8TV’s Ho Chak as well, unexpectedly. Gotta be good, right?

Location : to come later ….. sorry!

MERRY X’MAS in advance !!!

Hong Kong/Macau 2008 – Soy Milk for Breakfast, & Hakka Cuisine for Lunch

October 21, 2008 | 1,125 views | 21 Comments »

From previous chapter, Glitzy Lifestyle @ Lan Kwai Fong …

In a glimpse of an eye, we’ve reached the 8th day of our journey. The weather was progressing perfectly, not as hot & humid as previous days. The clear blue skies and slight breeze was all too inviting …. Pity this was already our last day in Hong Kong.

Notice those HUGE fried dough? HOI KENG Congee Specialist’s the shop’s name, with three branches in Kowloon, and another in Tsuen Wan

Woke up feeling refreshed and not too fatigued, as the previous day’s itinerary consisted of shopping and eating only. A far cry from the tormenting climb, crawl and walks in and around Lantau Island, Macau, Ocean Park, and so forth.

Fish Porridge (HKD18.50/RM8.33), Cheong Fun with Char Siew/Corn (HKD15/RM6.75), and Corned Beef+Bacon Sandwich Set with Milk Tea (HKD21/RM9.45) CONTINUE READING THE REST OF THIS ENTRY »
