A little food in Guangzhou

Coming to Guangzhou, definitely must try Guangdong food.

万福楼 Wan Fu Lou 

Location:
35, Yu Shan Road, Yuexiu District
越秀区禺山路35号
(Junction of Beijing Road and Yu Shan Road)

Tel: +86 20 8318 6225











After missing Lian Xiang Lou 莲香楼, we didn't have enough time to reach the shop with dinner and this shop crossed our journey. It looks "guangdong" and let's see...

鸡汤窝蛋浸时蔬 Chicken soup with egg and vegetable (RMB30)

The chicken soup is good. It's tasty enough 入味 and not too salty. If only the vegetable is changed to spinach 苋菜, it would be great!

面筋焖鱼腩 Fish Belly (RMB32)

Fried fish belly with 面筋 though a little salty. The fried fish is not that nice.

腊味煲仔饭 Preserved meat claypot rice (RMB38)

Disappointed. It only contains preserved fats and chinese sausage. The sauce added into the rice is not as fragrant as Lian Xiang Lou's. It's only so-so. Sigh~~~

蒜香乳鸽 Garlic pigeon (RMB38)

First bite - ugh~~! -_- A very heavy taste of garlic while the meat is not quite juicy. Another disappointment. The roasted and juicy taste of a pigeon has been covered by the garlic. First thought "Ordered the wrong thing". :(







After this meal, I still recommend Lian Xiang Lou!

发哥 茶餐厅 Brother Fat

Hong Kong Cha Chan Teng in Guangzhou. It's quite worth trying though.

Location:
1, Tao Jin North Road, Yuexiu District
越秀区淘金北路1号1楼

Tel: +86 20 8358 7997

Wanton noodle

It's rather delicious. I'm not sure because we're hungry or it's really nice. The wanton has quite a big crunchy prawn accompanied with QQ noodles. One pathetic thing is they only give 1 strand of vege. "-_-

Stir fried pork with bitter gourd 

The meat is tender and juicy. I didn't taste the bitter gourd as it's not my fav but my brother in law loves it. So it must be good.

Roasted goose and roasted pork

Roasted goose is just so-so. I think Hong Kong's goose is much more juicy. I just recommend the roasted pork. Crispy on the top and not hard to chew on the bottom. A more preferred choice of the two.

Long bean with garlic

Oh well, just a normal vege. Nothing very great about it but definitely not too bad. haha!








We tried some of their dim sum too but if you want to try more food, save your tummy space for other food. Dim sum are nicer in Hong Kong.

Hunan Food

You can find Hunan food at many places in Guangzhou. You must love spicy food or willing to take the challenge to try it. I recommend a dish that is very nice. Once you start, you can't stop.

Stir fried spicy frog 香辣田鸡 (RMB59)

It's spiciness builds up fire in your body but it's delicious. The frog is Q and very covered with the spicy sauce. If you're not good with spicy food, this dish will make you cry cause you can't stop eating!

Kluang makan makan aje~~

Kluang Rail Cafe

The long heard Kluang station kopitiam. We didn't go to the original shop because we didn't do our homework before coming and got ourselves landed at their new shop.

Location:
20 & 21, 1st floor & ground floor, Jalan Tasik 1, Taman Perniagaan Tasik, 86000 Kluang, Johor.

Tel: +607 773 8391










There are more locations. For the original shop, just go straight to the Kluang KTM station (Red bullet point 1).

Their coffee and kaya butter toast bread are suppose to be the famous items. We are so hungry that we just randomly ordered by simply pointing to pictures. Hiah~~!

Iced Cham (RM2.10)

Not coffee fan but the coffee is suppose to be famous here, so alternatively ordered Cham. It's fragrantly coffee and not too sweet. Not bad.

Mee Siam Special (ayam rendang) (RM5.30)

I thought the Mee siam would be the watery type. Oh well, the mee siam does not have much taste. You will need to eat with the chicken or sambal. The sambal is not bad, though. Ayam rendang taste more like normal curry chicken rather than rendang. Sad.

Nasi lemak Special (ayam goreng) (RM5.30)

The rice is not very fragrant. Just very normal, nothing special. Ayam goreng is like fried very long time ago, it's not crispy and the skin has soften and the meat is a little dry.

Bun Sambal Special (RM2.50)

The "special" means with an egg. Not bad.

Roti Bun Bakar (RM1.40)

Kaya butter toast. It's quite nice. Soft bread with a little toasted on the inside but the kaya it not fragrant enough.

Roti Keping Bakar (RM1.40)

I'm not sure if we left it alone for too long. It's not nice. The bread is dry and a little hard to chew.








I wonder how the original shop taste like. I'll try next time and see...

Restoran Tan Ching Hing (also known as 阿福 Satay)



Location:
Jalan Cantik,
Kluang, Johor.
(near Chong Hwa High School)

You can search the restaurant name in the GPS.

Hours: 18:30 - late






A place I recommend having fried noodles, satay, fried chicken. Yumm~~ (^_^)

Hokkien mee (RM8)

It's good. If they add a little more fried pork crisp, it's perfect!

Yuan Yang (RM8)

If I didn't eat this, I didn't realise I missed this food alot! It's good here too. It has enough "wok heat" 锅气.

Salted fish fried rice (RM8)

Although it looks very plain but because it's salted fish fried rice, it has alot of salted fish! Not bad too!

Satay (Pork, Mutton, Chicken) (RM0.60 per stick)

The meat is quite tender for both chicken and pork. As for the mutton is a bit too hard to chew but at least it does not have the "mutton smell". The sauce is more of a peanut sauce and it's not very spicy.






CRAP! I just realised I didn't take a photo of the fried chicken! MUST ORDER! It's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Good!

Sting ray fish (RM24)

Not my recommended dish. The fish is topped with chilli powder but the chilli does not enter the meat leaving the fish meat with a "water" taste.

Oyster egg

The egg is quite delicious without too much of the starch but the oyster is horrible. It's very fishy smell. Not recommended unless you can be sure the oyster is fresh.

Sea coconut ai yu ping (RM3)

The ai yu ping has only artificial colouring taste. The sea coconut is chewy but not sweet. You need to squeeze the lime to get some taste.

Food flashback~~!

How long have you not ate food that you have not eaten since young?

Kedai Makanan Yut Kee

I went to this kopitiam that my dad said he brought me there at age 4? Seriously cannot recall anything. To me, it's my first. ^_^

Location: 
35, Jalan Dang Wangi, 50200 Kuala Lumpur.

Tel: +603 2698 8108















There's alot you can order here.

Here are some that were ordered.

Half boiled egg

Pale beige egg shell? A rare colour but it tastes the same! ^_^

French toast

It's fried till a little crispy at the corner which is yummy. Topping with their homemade kaya that is not too sweet while fragrant with coconut, it's double yummy!

Meehoon Mee fried hokkien style

It's rather tasty but it's not the heavy fried pork crisp fragrant. It's the black soya plus meat taste. :)

Roti Babi

Stir fried pork and onion wrapped with bread to fry. It's delicious. You won't taste that it's oily. It's like pork patty.

Sea Park push cart noodle (a.k.a "tok tok noodle" to my family)

I have not known any place having an uncle pushing or cycling the noodle stall around the neighbourhood except Sea Park. Uncle used to sell during midnights. Nowadays, only Sunday lunch? Not sure... That's when we manage to catch uncle.

Uncle only sells 2 types of noodle. Fishball noodle soup or Prawn noodle. Both simple noodles with tasty soup at RM4.50 each.
