Awesome Ikan Bakar at Jalan Bedara, Bukit Bintang
May 31st
It was a last minute random lunch date with Andrew. Yeh, the person who went MIA from time to time. I brought him to this place in KL which is pretty nearby to my office then. A place which Chris Tock introduced a few months back and i’ve only been here for like 2 times only. =D
From Raja Chulan to Bukit Bintang, the area i’m working at is actually quite a food haven for the working group i think, but due to my habit of not frequenting lunch where i rather stay in office, i guessed i’ve missed out quite a lot of good food in the area.
So as you can see in the picture above, this stall which is located just behind Istana Hotel at Jalan Bedara Bukit Bintang actually serves a variety of Malaysian food. but of course, my main intention to have lunch here is because of its Ikan Bakar.
Though not as famous as another nearby Ikan Bakar stall, the Ikan Bakar served here is awesome to me! Ikan Pari, Ikan Kembung, Ikan Keli are among the few Ikan Bakar you could choose from.
The thing special about the Ikan Bakar served here is the sauce/kuah they add on along on a separate plate with the fish. Have no idea do other stalls have a similar sauce as the one here but if you are around the area and you have no idea on what to have for lunch, you can try this stall out. =)
I can’t seem to find a stall name for this place so if anyone of you knows about it please do tell me!! About on the exact location, please refer to the red dot below LOL. Paiseh!

San Peng Nasi Lemak
Mar 22nd
I’ve been craving for the Nasi Lemak at this specific stall which is located Off Jalan San Peng, Kuala Lumpur. Andrew the food expert was the one who brought me there the first time last year.
Yeah last year only i have the chance to visit the stall where its already in business for quite long already, more than 10 years if i’m not mistaken!!
So if was after Zee Avi’s concert that me and Ren headed to this very place with Yat joining us 20 minutes later. For the love of supper!
This stall is actually unique as it serves Nasi Lemak, Chinese Style. Oh how i love being in Malaysia with such awesome food. Apart from the usual Nasi Lemak rice which is cooked with coconut milk, Sambal, Egg, Sliced Cucumbers, Nuts and Ikan Bilis there were other varieties that totally made us food hunters spoilt for choice.
Curry Chicken, Curry Potatoes, Sausages, Fried Luncheon Meat, Fried Long Beans, Stewed Pork Innards, Sambal Sotongs, Sambal Kerangs were among the many there for your liking!
I personally had a basic plate of Nasi Lemak adding on Long Beans with Curry Potato, Fried Egg and Luncheon Meat that sums up to RM5.10 that night.
It is a very sinful supper i must say with the rice well cooked along with the Sambal that was purrrffeecctt!! Ask around your friends about this very stall and if they have been there before i’m sure they’ll agree with me that this Chinese Version of Nasi Lemak is one of the best that you can find in Kuala Lumpur.
Will definitely visit it again!

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon @ Maxwell Food Centre, Singapore
Dec 7th
It was the last weekend of November 2009 that i went to this place having my lunch thanks to the girlfriend who brought me there. =)
Located along Maxwell Road where Chinatown Singapore is just aroudn the corner. This food centre appears to be serving the public in the area for quite a long time already and thanks to Chinatown, there were customers from other parts of the world finding their meals there when i was having mine as well.
Upon reaching, i was shocked that there weren’t any space there, walking a few steps further had me seeing 2 queues to 2 different stalls. One a porridge stall and another one a fish meat noodles/porridge stall. The food that my girlfriend wanted me to try was the later one.
There were a few choices to choose from, all fish related one of course!
Sliced Fish Soup, Sliced Fish Bee Hoon, Fish Meat Bee Hoon, Fish Head Bee Hoon. I guess i don’t have to explain much on that right? It’s pretty straight forward.
As for us, we had Sliced Fish Bee Hoon and Fish Meat Bee Hoon(according to the picture above).
Sliced Fish Bee Hoon (with slices of fish cooked with the soup base)
To my delight, it was much better than what i’ve expect, pretty satisfying! The whole bowl of Bee Hoon was pretty big in portion where they provided quite a lot of fish meat i must say with a fair serving of vegetables.
The bee hoon is good as well, soft and smooth to the mouth.The milk added to the soup was just nice with the slices of ginger as well. Overall, the taste wasn’t THAT strong compared to the ones i had back in Malaysia but the combination of all the different ingredients made it a pretty decent meal, one of the best meal i had in Singapore i must say.
Fish Meat Bee Hoon (with Fried Fish Meat)
Well of course, with that being said, i must admit i didn’t really have the time to explore and try other food there then with just the handful of times i was in Singapore. Perhaps some of you Singaporean bloggers out there would like to bring me to more food places in the future?
Note, the 2 bowls above were slightly different where one of it had the Fried Fish Meat where the other one come with the slices of fish cooked with the soup base itself. Personally, i prefer the fried fish more. =D
The pricing? You can refer above. I think it is pretty worth it. Of course, for Malaysians like me, don’t ever convert the currency! xD

Soon Fatt Peking Roast Duck at Jalan Pasar
Nov 1st
I’ve been craving for Roast Duck these few days and just only i realized that i haven blog about this lunch date with 2 fellow friends like erm… 2 months ago? It was quite random that Anne asked Aaron and ShuJian along with me for a lunch that was scheduled that day.
Being one of the oldest hawker stall in KL City alone with God knows how many years of history serving the public with their juicy duck rice, nothing fancy though about the place as it is situated beside the road, with just the Roast Duck to droll at, i was fast hungry the moment i was there. It was Soon Fatt Peking Roast Duck.
To be frank, i didn’t know about this place which Anne proposed. Upon reaching we ordered half of Roast Duck straight away with Char Siew & Siew Yuk(Roast Pork) along to our likings.
Char Siew & Siew Yuk – 3/5
The Char Siew & Siew Yuk in my opinion was not up to expectations. I actually thought that Kepong have much nicer Char Siew and Pudu Siew Yuk still rocks my socks so far which is just over at a nearby street.
The ones here were just normal only.
Roast Duck 4/5
Coming to the roast duck itself which i was looking forward very much at that moment, i wasn’t that impressed i must say when it was served but it was all fine.
You could really taste the duck meat where it wasn’t totally covered by the spices they applied together with the duck itself.
*some duck rice seller just love adding too much spices you know…
It was well prepared where there wasn’t any major complaints i could point out about but just perhaps i was expecting a lot more then. Maybe its the sauce!
I thought that Sunrise Duck Rice was actually better. =X
line of people waiting to be seated.
Though i was looking for more but i was still satisfied & full from the lunch that day. The bill came up to around RM60 for the 3 of us.
Go give it a try if you’re around the area! You can read on KY’s review about it here & here. Well maybe i should try the Sesame Roast Duck another time.
