Mak’s Chee @ Pavilion


Famous Hong Kong noodle house Mak’s Chee has landed in the heart of KL – Pavilion Elite. This is one of the must-stop places in any Hong Kong food trail. So let us check out if Mak Chee at Pavilion has also inherited the famous taste of Hong Kong.
We ordered the beef brisket and wonton noodle soup plus beef brisket and dumpling noodle (dry). You may choose a small or large bowl with difference of only RM2. The soup from the beef brisket noodle was very richly flavorful, thicker than the famed Mak Chee wonton soup, but very good at its own right. The noodles were very springy and crunchy just like in Hong Kong. By the way, if you are looking for the wonton and dumpling, its hidden underneath the noodles. 

We also wanted to try Mak’s Chee lunch promotion of luncheon meat, egg and rice for RM12.90, plus RM3 (original price RM7.9) for additional iced milk tea as part of the promotion. The luncheon meat was no ordinary luncheon meat, it is one of best I have eaten, not too salty, absolutely tender in the middle and very flavorful with that special kind luncheon taste – you know what I mean.
Here at Mak’s Chee in Pavilion, each plate of luncheon meat and egg rice is served with bowl of specially blended soy sauce, not like the usual soy sauce you find on the restaurant table. This special blend of soy sauce was not salty but absolutely spot-on in taste to have with your egg and rice! The wonton had a crunchy prawn inside each, but I found the taste not as flavorsome as the ones we tried in Hong Kong.
The ice milk tea we had Mak’s Chee tasted like it was imported straight from Hong Kong. The taste of the drink is not diluted by the ice you usually put into the tea, instead it is served inside a bucket of ice. We also tried the osmanthus tea, which actually came in a tea bag but you could really smell the aroma of osmanthus – a good choice too.
The cost of each large bowl of noodle was around RM16 and the lunch promotion rice was RM12.9 – most definitely cheaper than eating it in Hong Kong. I would surely go back for seconds to try other items on their menu.
Overall rating:
Food: 4/5
Bang for buck: 4/5
Service: 3.5/5 (they served our order after a customer that came in after us)

Restaurant Yoong Kee @ Gohtong Jaya, Genting

For those uninitiated, there is a spanking new premium shopping outlet in Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highland opened just recently, which would appease the appetite of any shopaholic. But we would now like to talk of appeasing another type of appetite. En route to this shopping outlet is a row of shops with lots of restaurant in Gohtong Jaya, and amongst these shops is a hidden gem – Restaurant Yoong Kee.  Is this one of the best food in Gohtong jaya?   We were there for both lunch and dinner because yes! You just cannot get enough of the good food. For lunch we ordered the “Wat Tan Hor” (Kuey Teow Noodles in egg gravy) and the fried bee hoon with white bait. Both dishes were excellent. The “Wat Tan Hor” was very aromatic with wok hei and juicy prawns. But for me, the fried bee hoon with white bait at Restaurant Yoong Kee took the crown. Spot on in taste with just the right amount of saltiness and crunch with every bite of the tiny white bait. The total bill came up to RM 27 for a me

Char Siew Yoong @ Cheras

One of hubster’s favourite joints, and finally I get to have a try at it! Restaurant Char Siew Yoong is one of those places that are really off the beaten track, its closest landmark would probably be behind PGRM building in Cheras. It is famous for its char siew (bbq pork) and siew yoke (roasted pork belly). Char Siew Yoong is like your typical kopitiam – noisy and crowded, you need to overlook that for the great food that is about to follow.    The queue for take-away We ordered the char siew and siew yoke rice with a soup and vegetable on the side. The char siew was marinated to perfection, probably one of the best char siew I have eaten in KL. The best part of it is the char siew meat, with just enough fat sandwiched between the lean to make it juicy and it really brings out the flavourful taste. No wonder this restaurant’s name is “Char Siew Yoong” this is their ultimate number 1 dish. The siew yoke for me was just as nice, though hubster is a loyal fan of the char

Nam Heong Ipoh @ My Town, Cheras

If you have been a “foodie tourist” in Ipoh, Nam Heong would have been a perennial stop-over on your tour list. The rag tag team plus the cow boy team from outstation were already hooked on their food after our own “foodie tour” of Ipoh, and we were happy to find that Nam Heong had opened a branch in our hood. But as with all franchises, does the food match the lofty standards of THE original Nam Heong, Ipoh? Lets have a look. In terms of ambience, it is pretty good, a definite winner over the original Nam Heong. But here you have to do your own ordering using an ipad available at each table. This took some getting use to and would cause problems for those who are less technology savvy. Though the normal menus were still available on the table.   We ordered all the signature dishes. First-up came the signature chicken hor fun. In terms of taste yes ! it matches the original Nam Heong Ipoh. But what sets this hor fun apart from the rest is the reddish oil made from the
