Restoran Loong Foong Seafood – 19 February 2018

This restaurant is forever crowded and it is well known for it’s famous roast duck. Almost everyday, you can see a long queue of people waiting for its roast duck. Since it’s been a long time since I had duck meat, I decided to have a Chinese New Year (CNY) gathering here.

Roasted duck hanging to be eaten and check out the price

We knew that you can’t walk in and get a table so we decided to make a reservation before CNY. We made reservation via whatapps. Upon our arrival, we were told that there was no such reservation. We showed the whatapps message and in the end, the management shuffled things around and managed to get us a table based on our whatapps message.

Since it’s CNY, you can order its CNY set menu for 10 persons or a la carte. We decided on a la carte and we ordered:-

Full portion of Yee Sang with jelly fish.  

Whole roast duck RM63.00. Seriously, I must say it's the best duck I’ve tasted. It’s equally the same taste as the roast duck you can get at PJ State. The duck meat is succulent, juicy and tender and goes well with the plum sauce (which tasted just nice and not sweet).

Yau Mak Stir Fry with Garlic. A very simple dish with tasty fresh lettuce.

Pumpkin Seafood Treasure, also known as their specialty. They served you the whole small pumpkin and you can dig in to find fish maw, scallops, abalones and Chinese black mushroom, with its creamy pumpkin sauce.

Guinness Pork. The pork meat is very tender with its thick sauce.

Jiu Pai Tofu (Specialty Tofu). Squarish tofu with creamy sauce. It’s very nice and best to eat it with rice, otherwise too salty on its own.

Yong Chow Fried Rice. A very colourful fried rice, i.e. lots of ingredients inside the fried rice.

Unfortunately, they have the traditional way of calculating your bill and they do not issue any itemized bill for the dishes you ordered. We were told to pay the bills separately:

RM63 for the whole roast duck to the duck store owner;

RM78 for drinks, i.e. big bottles of Tiger beer, Chinese tea and 100+ isotonic drinks to the drinks owner; and

RM 292 for the dishes to the owner of the restaurant.

The price above was for 6 adults and 2 kids. The restaurant is small and basically extremely noisy. You are unable to talk in the restaurant but only scream.

Pretty small restaurant. If outside, it will be open air. 

It is advisable to give them a call to make a reservation for your table and roast duck to avoid disappointment. Do not expect to be treated nicely.

Overall, the food was tasty and price was reasonable.

Restoran Siu Siu Sungai Besi – 19 August 2017

Outside the car park, heading towards the entrance

Entrance to the restaurant

Since I wanted to eat crabs for my belated birthday celebration, we decided on this restaurant based on good reviews on social media. It did not disappoint us at all and we made the right choice. 

Please call the restaurant to find out whether they have crabs or not for the day of your dinner and book the crabs in advance. Sometimes, they may not have a supply if you decide to just drop in.  

We ordered:-

Salted Egg Yolk Crab RM76.00. Normal dish, but the crabs are fresh. 

Sweet and Sour Crab RM72.00. Also, very normal dish, we did not order the buns to dip into the gravy.

 

Barbecued Pork RM39.00. Tasty with thick sauce.

Roast Duck (1/2 portion) RM30.00. This is their specialty dish, the meat was tender.  

Stir fry romaine lettuce with fermented bean curb (Yau Mak Fu Yue) RM20.00. A very simple dish yet with tasty fresh lettuce.

Chinese Fried Rice RM26.00. The normal fried rice with egg, carrot, long beans and chicken meat.

Coconut RM5.00 

Carlsberg RM17.00 for big bottle

Chinese Tea (1 teapot) RM5.00

Overall, the food was tasty good and the price was reasonable. We paid RM393.25 (inclusive of GST) for 4 adults and 2 kids. The service in this restaurant was fast. There was ample parking outside the restaurant as this restaurant is situated in a hidden area, off Jalan Sungai Besi. You may miss the turning if you don’t see the sign properly. There were parking attendants there to guide you in parking. Also, there were couple of stray dogs guarding the restaurants day and night but they are harmless.   

Other than the food, the restaurant has its own garden and it's very nice place for you to take pictures.

Peninsula Chinese Cuisine Restaurant – 9 February 2017

Entrance to the restaurant

Since it was still Chinese New Year and I wanted to eat Yee Sang and Dim Sum, we decided on this restaurant at Ara Damansara. My sister-in-law told us that there were discounts on their dishes and the food was not too bad.  

These are the dishes we ordered:-

Salmon Yee Sang RM68.00. We were given a generous portion of salmon.

A variety of Dim Sum and the prices ranged from RM7.90-RM16.00. The selection was quite good and you have the waiters and waitresses bringing the selection of dim sun to your table. The typical way of serving dim sum in a Chinese restaurant.   

Sang Har Noodles RM48.00. We were a little bit disappointed with this as there was not enough gravy for the noodles. When we were half way through our noodles, it  was all dried up. However, the prawns were big and fresh.        

Siew Yok & Char Siew RM50.00.

Roast Duck RM35.00

The service in this restaurant, in terms of serving your food, was fast. However, our roast duck was served to us slowly. We were given 40% discount on the dim sum and 30% on the final bill. The above dishes together with our tea (RM7 per person) cost us RM281.20 inclusive of a service charge of 10% and GST of 6%. I would say the price was reasonable for 4 adults and 2 kids.

As Evolve Mall is still new, parking in the shopping mall is free to the public.
