Local Lovin’ 🇲🇾

Pleasantly surprised to find a very legit prawn noodles hawker in Subang Jaya! The toppings run a little thin (don’t expect many bb prawns), but the spot-on spicy, prawny broth makes up for it. Cute that the uncle had a Penang flag flying atop his signboard.

Favourite version of nasi lemak is definitely the humble breakfast packet that sees just the mainstay coconut rice with sambal, egg, ikan bilis and peanuts. This one’s really delicious! Rice is redolent of fragrant santan, topped with that sweet and spicy sambal for a good morning kick.

When in search for a clean, delicious noodles meal, this non-descript spot in DJ should do the trick! Reminiscent of a less frilly B & Best, the seafood options run the gamut — from pomfret fish slices to housemade fried fish cakes and those fresh, juicy oysters. The broth is flavoursome, while not at all salty. Though I personally prefer having the noodles dry (tossed in dark sauce) for something more savoury.

Lian Kee takes over this hawker gem of a coffeeshop at night, and food’s delicious. It’s a simple menu: chicken rice/porridge and some add-ons here and there. Hats off to that really tender and flavourful chicken and minced ginger (as much as you want) for this A+ dinner.
