I come, I see, I Hunt and I Chiak Its mainly about food, some fashion, movie and the 'lengang' days of me~

Restaurant in Bandar Puteri is mushrooming like crazy, with invites from uLi that I get a chance to come and dine one of the shop in the area which is a Hakka Restaurant located in the heart of the town. The restaurant was very easily located when u see a big building easy pharmax then it’s nearby.

All their specialities are on the wall. If you do not like to look at the menu, then you can just pin point anything on the wall.

The history of it

One of the thing that impress me in this restaurant is this small little shop, that was just began operation about 5 months ago already got so much to bag for, by coming out in the newspaper, and also already got featured in Ho Chiak!

While the night is still young, we kick start with one of the very traditional dish 'Hakka Abacus Seeds (算盘子)' @ RM12(S) RM24(B)

'Hakka Salted Chicken (客家咸鸡)' @ RM13(S) RM25(B), something that look simple but yet very flavourful. I like the soup base of it, which is a bit gingery, salty yet its feels like clear in taste.

'Spring Roll (春卷)' @ RM12(S) RM24(B) that dip in chili sauce, thumbs up.

'Yam Pork Belly (芋头扣肉)' @ RM8(S) RM16(B) is also one of the classic dish, with the yam and pork belley steam till it is very soft till when you put into your mouth will melt away.

'Braised Duck (卤鸭)' @ RM12(S) RM24(B)

'Vinegar Pork Knuckle (白萝卜猪脚醋)' @ RM8(S) RM16(B) is a dish not to be miss in Hakka food. I just love the heavy taste of vinegar and the pork been braised long enough as the skin and meat is soft.

'Salted Vege Fish (咸菜焖鱼) @ RM15(S) RM30(B) as the soup base is not that thick but eat along with rice is a perfect companion.

'Hakka Fried Meat (客家炸肉)' @ RM8(S) RM16(B)

'Yong Tau Foo (醸豆腐)' @ RM8(S) RM16(B)

I love this 'Bitter Gourd Salted Vege Soup (苦瓜咸菜汤) @ RM6(S) RM12(B) as the taste is just right. Not too bitter yet its not very salty vege did not overpower the taste of it. Good to 'Ha For' (cool down body temparture)

'Pepper Pork Stomach Soup (猪肚汤)' @ RM6(S) RM12(B)

'Salted Egg Steam Pork (咸蛋蒸肉饼)' @ RM6(S) RM12(B)

Is one of my favourite, totally gives me a really home feel yet the best part is they add salty egg yolk in it. The egg been steam till so soft and the taste is there, by adding in a bit of soy sauce, its just perfect!

Complimetanry 'Konyaku Jelly' in the house.

To hunt for nice food is always not easy, especially with home cook and traditional style, it was not until recently we discover a place that cook good Teow Chew and Hakka food which is located at SS14, a place which I went pretty often for the nasi lemak during my college days.

This restaurant is more than 20 years old which first the family run its business on southern Johore and until few years back one of the siblings decided to open one branch in the urban city area that run similar menu. Their signature dish to look for is more on soup and porridge.

Newspaper had it all with their authentic style in taste.

The price in this restaurant I would say reasonable or cheap and the portion is huge.

'Lobak (卤肉) @RM6 (S) RM14 (M) RM20 (B)

'Button-shaped yam balls - Abacus (客家算盘子)' that I enjoy eating, its chewy and fried with 'wok hei' that end with a bit dry on taste. @RM8

'Soon Kueh (客家筍粿)' stuff with dried shrimps, bamboo shoots, fungus, and minced meat. @RM2.20/piece'

'Braised Pork with Black Fungus (炆炸肉) @RM9'

If you love, one of the traditional dish, that has to add on vinegar to cook in it, strong taste of vinegar that boiled along with pork till it is soft and juicy. Just as the way I like it. 'Black Vineger Trotter (猪脚醋)' @RM9 '

'Stewed Pork with yam (芋头扣肉)' that the yam is steam till very soft and eat it along with a bowl of yam rice is perfect. RM13 '

'Braised Duck Meat (特制炆鸭肉)' @RM9 is something that I enjoy that on that meal provided with a plate of white rice, I can just finish it.

'Yam Rice (芋头饭)' is aromatic with some dry shrimps yam chunks and its a bit dry as I like it where add on some sauce of the dish it just goes well. @RM1.20(S) RM2(B). '

'Braised Duck Porridge (特制鸭粥) @RM8' that is my first encounter, as I do normally do take Duck Porridge when I was back in Penang but not here, taste pretty awesome, that is not salty, and the porridge cook just nice that the rice is not overcook, this is one of the signature item in Tien Kee. Give it a try.

I just love their homemade special ginger sauce. Specially marinated with some vinegar and it goes very well with porridge especially those who are sick or got flu. I took 2 souce plate of it.

If you are looking for something mild in taste, then you should go for 'Pomfret Soup with Vege (白鲳鱼汤) @RM16. Sweet mild soup taste cook with vegetable and the fish is very fresh, soft and slices which had been cut perfectly for cooking purpose.

'Pomfret Fish Mee Suah (白鲳鱼面线) @RM16' is another option you can go for.

If you wanted something spicy or sour 'Sze Chuan Noodles (四川粉) @RM8.50' is one of the recommended choice as the taste had change to suit the local taste with added on some of their cooking style. Simple yet delicious~

Last round went for costume hunting for company dinner, and we were short of time due to traveling time then for the past round that we went there, we saw this shop that its kinda pack with people and might thought that, hrmm…would be a good place to have lunch since the price is quite cheap.

I am not a big fan of hakka food, but then still acceptable as did try a few disappointed restaurant and also good ones.

'Original Hakka Noodle' is something plain that add in with some mince meat and small cubes of 'chu yau' which taste something simple and clear. RM 4.30

'Curry Chicken Hakka Noodle' Would be one of my favourite, not so thick curry soup base yet the santan is not so thick too, the flavor of the soup is just nice yet the chicken meat is soft. I just wish that my bowl is added on some pork balls. Yummm~ RM4.80

'Pork Ball White Noodle' with the look, I have underestimate the taste of it. Among all, this would taste the best with its thin noodle compare to the rest which is the thick one. Springy like wan tan mee noodle, with mild taste of the soup and I just love their pork ball, solid chewy type. RM 4.30

That is why we order another bowl of 'Pork Ball' RM 3.50

My best friend Desmond had organize a gathering for the past round. Many of us came with the same usual group that we used to hang out when I was working with my old company yet I am very happy that get to meet up with them again, miss the happy hour, the lepak time at office below and that was the past.

This round the chosen place is the newly open restaurant Ying Ker Lou at Pavilion which I their branch at The Curve is quite good.

Finally, we had decided what to eat after looking at the people next to us and enjoying themselves.
We ordered 'Hakka Pun Choi' (as suddenly I forgot the english name) as this big pot can dine by 8-10 pax as there are around 8 of us as that would be the right choice.
