Homecook Food - Prawn Mee or Penang Hokkien Mee

After all the Bachang (Chinese Dumpling) and Mooncakes, I have to wear from size M to Size L. I better do something about it before things go beyond repair!! So I go for 30 minutes exercise, three times a week. And the most difficult part is I am on low-carb or no-carb diet for about 60 days now and the result is I have lost 5kg......hooray! So I thought I could reward myself with something I have been craved for................Hokkien Mee. I cooked myself so I could put more liao (prawn, meat and egg) and lots of vegetable (Kangkung and taugeh) but very little meehoon (one mouthful only) and finally sprinkle with lots of fried shallots.



Even the soup is not spared................slurppp to the final drop but half of the egg yolk was left behind due to health reason.

Guess I better exercise extra 10 minutes 2moro morning and drink a shake for breakfast!!

Ong Lai (Tai Chow Stall) - Jalan Raja Laut, KL

Yesterday we supposed to have Japanese food at Zakuro in Mont Kiara but hubby had an appointment in The Pavillion with a client from Penang and they discussed pass normal dinner time and we ended up eating at this Tai Chow stall in Jalan Raja Laut called Ong Lai. And my low carb diet was disrupted with these food we eat:

Ba Kau Soup, ok with lots of MSG.
Fried Pek Kueh, I notice that they have used less oil in frying the noodle as compared to previous visits. Very tasty.

Fried Thick Meehoon, a lot of 'liao' and crunchy pork lard. Very tasty too!
Total food bill is RM30.60 plus tea for two.

Hing Ket Grill House - Kg Jawa , Klang

My father took us to this restaurant about 20 years ago. I remember we were travelling from KL to Klang and the road leading to this place was quite dark and far. Last Saturday, Hubby and I decided to eat at this place again, the children were left at home as my sons said let "daddy and mommy have some bonding bonding".

Hubby could not quite remember this place and we made a few calls to our friends in Klang for direction. Go to Taman Rasnah, turn right at the traffic light after the petrol station (Mobil/Petronas?), then go all the way straight,I think this road also go to Kota Kemuning, abit winding road till a T - junction and there is a trafffic light there, turn left and further down the Hing Ket Grill House is on your right. There is another grill house called Dung Huang next to it but we go to the original Hing Ket.

The restaurant looks different from the last time, it is brighter and cleaner. Last time they grilled in open area but now they have a small hut with good ventilation for grilling.


Parking is quite limited, at the front of the restaurant and along the road.
This grilled stingray(RM20) is very good and not very oily like the usual one we have. And they provide the dipping chili sauce go so well with the fish.

The grilled lamb(RM14) was fantastic. This is what I am here for. If not for the fish we had ordered, I would go for another order of this. The mint sauce was so tasty that I finished the whole small bowl with the lamb.
Stir fry sweet potatoes leaves(RM8) is good too and not oily. The food here is not oily even the Kam Heong Bamboo Clam (RM12) tastes so delicious.

The total food bill about RM74, inclusive of one big Carlsberg and one Lime Juice. Its worth coming back again.
