... asam laksa in yellow noodle. My favourite choice.
... DL's seafood kari laksa.
Rating: 5/10
Unlike the asam laksa I had the previous time, the soup in my asam laksa today was very salty today. The taste was not bad, especially I had mine in yellow noodle. DL commented that his seafood kari laksa was very well worth it, because there were 5 prawns in it, for only RM12.90.

... cendol with gula melaka.
... Hokkien mee ala Nyonya style.
... fried kuey teow with sliced sausage and fried pork lard, even cuttlefish rings.
... kerabu mangga without crispy squid slice.
Rating: 6/10
PG and I came to The Strand, Kota Damansara to check out any appetizing restaurant. We came to The Wok as he first spotted it. At first, I wanted to order dishes and rice, but there were only 2 of us, so I dropped the idea. The cendol looks very similar to those from Malacca. The green jelly tastes pretty good, probably the most tasty I’ve had in KV. Unfortunately, the gula melaka doesn’t have the kind of fragrance I tasted in Malacca. Then the Hokkien mee which was soaked in soup came as a surprised to us. It reminds me of law mee. The taste was so so only and the condiment sambal was nothing to shout about. Fried kuey teow was pretty darn good. I’ve finally found a good enough replacement for SS5A’s fried kuey teow, but came at a price. It cost RM8 per plate, which is more than double of that I had in SS5. It even has sausage slice and fried pork lard in it. The squid rings came as a bonus, though I don’t think it enhances the taste. Kerabu mangga was like rojak instead, as claimed by PG. I tasted some sugar in it and soaked in prawn paste. I missed the crispy squid slice from the kerabu mangga in my hometown, but this 1 tasted not bad too, not as sour.
I’ll probably come back for its fried kuey teow again, hopefully soon.

... I missed the fried kuey teow last time, so I must try it this time.
... roasted chicken wings, the same stall that has roasted pigeons.
Rating: 4/10
The previous time I came here, I had roasted pigeon and fried balitong. Before I left, I could smell the good fragrance coming from the fried kuey teow stall. I told myself, I have to try the fried kuey teow the next time I come. Hence, today I straight away went for the fried kuey teow. Unfortunately, it doesnt’ taste as good as the aroma. Then EL asked me to order the roasted chicken wings. I went to order for 4 pieces, but they delivered only 3. The chicken wings weren’t as good as the roasted pigeons. Aside from the lacking of cinnamon (not that I was expecting any), the honey glaze wasn’t as much as on the pigeons and the meat was a bit darkened. Very unappetizing.

... ALGJ's favourite beancurd soup.
... steamed pomfret, RM40.
... this was recommended by the waiter there, claypot chicken cooked in dried chilli.
... yau mak.
Rating: 5.5/10
Today we went to our favourite beancurd soup place to celebrate TSL’s belated birthday. ALGJ was jumping in joy and Kuma joined us for the very first time. The beancurd soup was as usual, very salty. Kuma likes the claypot chicken in dried chilli. She said the sauce was very nice. They don’t have cod fish on that day, hence we ordered the steamed pomfret out of many other choice. I thought the pomfret was more “luxurious” compared to the other choices. The fish was quite fresh, though Kuma said she could taste the smell in it. Somehow I don’t feel that. The yau mak cooked with preserved beancurd was a little devastating.

... the first time I had Milo shake here was many years ago, introduced by a friend whom stays in Setapak.
... the famous special porridge. It was published on newspapers so many years ago.
... nasi lemak bungkus. A brand that I've never had.
... this nasi lemak has soggy anchovies, but the chili was very spicy.
Rating: 6/10
The porridge was pretty much the same as last time, except this time, the pepper was free. The last time I had it, it wasn’t as spicy. Then this time, where were carrot slice in it too. DL was complaining about porridge having carrot in it. The Milo shake kosong has added sugar in it. I dunno what’s wrong with the guy’s hearing. The nasi lemak was very ordinary. DL was chomping down 1 pack, I was licking my lips because I wanted to eat too, but trying hard not to, because he was having the one with “Jun” brand. The brand which I had once too many. Then I realised this was another brand, hence I… was tempted.

... this yam rice wasn't bad at all. Though I've additional yams from CLL, making it a YAM rice instead.
... our dishes. A lunch that cost RM29 for 3 pax.
Rating: 6/10
The dishes weren’t bad at all. I was picking the vegetables including the mushrooms, while the ladies took the pork with salted fish.

... as usual, I'll ask for both benta kaya and gula melaka for my homemade dumpling.
Rating: 4.5/10
I don’t have any appetite today, so I’ve only ordered homemade dumplings for lunch. My homemade dumplings came very late cause the waitress didn’t not place my order, despite I made it clear to her that I wanted both benta kaya and brown sugar as condiments. The taste was pretty much the same as the last time I had it.

... I picked the fried bittergourd in salted egg yolk to give it a shot. Something which I don't like, both salted egg and bittergourd.
... fried beancurd with crabstick in it.
... kung pow chicken.
... salted fish pork belly meat.
... sweet sour crab.
Rating: 4.5/10
Went to dinner with family. Firstly, the salted egg yolk fried bittergourd. Though the bittergourd was not bitter, but the semi runny salted egg yolk was very … loathsome. Fried bean curd was quite nice, though I saw some crabsticks inside it, which is kind of turn off for me. Kung pow chicken was nice as it was unexpected. I never thought my parents would order that. It was considered quite nice, though I’d prefer it to be more spicy. Salted fish pork belly was so-so. I had only 1 piece, as I don’t really like it. I prefer those in KV’s. Finally, the sweet sour crabs was quite nice. Except that the crabs was too small. Unlike those I had in Yap Yin
Food was so-so. Pretty much something similar that I had previously, though the price was very cheap, as each dish cost around RM4 till RM12 only. Except for the crabs, of course.

... shop front.
... complimentary soup.
... bean sprouts the common items in chicken rice.
... the chicken was deep fried before served.
Rating: 6.5/10
Brought EL to try out the deep fried chicken rice here today. My last visit was years ago. Today bean sprout was very crunchy and tasted bland. It was fine though. Then the chicken was quite nice, but my chicken breast part was barely any skin. Skin is the nicest part of the chicken.

... fried balitong, something I've never had for a very very long time.
... roasted pigeon, a rarity in local food courts.
Rating: 7/10
Went to nearby food court with EL after an XM session. He said there’s nice roasted pigeon there. So we went to try and we ordered both roasted pigeon and fried balitong. Roasted pigeon was nice, the outer layer was sweet, glazed in honey. The meat was salted and seasoned with cinnamon powder as well. The fried balitong was nice too, reminds me of my childhood.
