New Lucky Restaurant

My favourite dinner spot. Hakka Noodle, I have high expectations toward all Hakka Noodle. And this bowl of noodle never disappoint me! RM5

Having gone through a recent revamp that now allows diners to enjoy hawker fare comfortably in an air-conditioned space or airy first-floor seatings, New Lucky Restaurant is certainly one breakfast stop you cannot miss in the neighbourhood. We say this because it houses Sri Petaling's most loved chee cheong fun. Invite a friend (preferably a morning person), grab seats, and head straight for Aunty Gan's Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun (from RM5) — steamed rice rolls stuffed with either char siew or prawns. The key to good Hong Kong-style chee cheong fun is its slippery smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture, and Aunty Gan nails it every time. The flat rice noodles are bathed in a briny soy sauce and topped with a dollop of sambal for a flavour boost. Have it with an awakening cup of hot Kopi (RM2.20).
Avg price per person: RM10

Mrs Gan’s HK chee cheong fun is a hidden gem (ok maybe hidden only for people who live under the rock like me) I cannot believe I’ve only discovered this now. Thanks to Rueann and Burpple, I now know where to get those dim sum-like chee cheong fun at a non-dim sum restaurant. For RM5.50, you can get a plate of piping hot, slippery thin, rice noodle roll laden on sweet soy sauce, and watch Mrs Gan expertly work on her cheong fun magic. So gooooood. Extra ‘o’s for emphasis. Also, it was nice to know that I didn’t have to wait very long for my rolls, especially on a Saturday morning. Note that parking can be difficult in the area, best to carpool or uber.
