I’ve been churning out food reviews on my own since my new domain ahyen.com was registered. Along the journey I’ve referenced many food bloggers like vkeong, cklam, iamthewitch, Big Boys Oven just to name a few (there’s actually a long list at Zhongg Internet Digest) and many others to see why are they so successful and found these 4 basic requirements that they have which I don’t.
eatgod™ @ Ah Koong’s Eating House All Natural Fishcake
It is a know fact that the fishcakes or fish balls which we consume almost on a daily basis consists of additives to make them ‘bounce’ better. In fact the skill of making genuine fishcake or fish balls is considered a lost art to the culinary world. Right next to Shaw Parade in Jalan Changkat Thambi Dollah, Kuala Lumpur, there is a shop which according to them still maintains the traditional way of making fishcake without additives – Ah Koong’s Eating House.
eatgod™ @ Puchong Batu 14 Yong Tau Fu
A stone’s throw away from the infamous Puchong Utama Yip Chuen Dry Bak Kut Teh lies a kampung house which is fully extended into its compound. During the day this house is closed tight but at night it lights up and explodes with activity, with people coming from as far as Setapak and TTDI to have a taste of their handmade yong tau fu. What makes their yong tau fu so special? Read on to find out!
eatgod™ @ Goon Wah Kuchai Lama XO Fish Head Mee Hoon & Claypot Low She Fun
I’ve been hearing about this spot in Kuchai Lama where they are touted to serve the best fish head mee hoon and the best clay pot low she fun in the whole of Klang Valley. Curiosity got the best of me and I eventually ended up in this shop lot on Jalan 3/115c in Kuchai Lama. You wouldn’t expect an eatery to be part of these flats. I didn’t either until my friend pointed it out to me one day.
You won’t miss it if you look out for a row of semi-rundown shop lots with clothes hanging out the windows on the higher floors. Goon Wah Restaurant is right smack in the middle flanked by workshops on both sides. Plastic chairs and tables are set up all along the walkway, patrons enjoying their lunch while the workshop mechanics go about their repairs less than 5 feet away.
eatgod™ @ Imbi Wet Market Ah Weng Kor Hainanese Tea
It is a weekday. You are on leave because you need to clear it or else burn it before the year ends. You can’t sleep in and you get up early just like usual. You have nothing to do that day until later in the afternoon. Just when you least needed it, just when you have nothing on your to-do list and here you have it, a bright and sunny morning with no plans whatsoever. DAMN IT!
Well if that scenario so happens to befall you as well, you can consider hopping over to Imbi wet market for some good old Ah Weng Kor Hainanese breakfast! Here are the coordinates – 03° 08’37.5″ N, 101° 43′ 1.2″ E.
