Cheong Kee Beef Noodles @ Tong Sui Kai

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour Opens from early evening until late night. Closed on Sundays.

Cheong Kee’s beef balls were absolutely wonderful; made from a well-seasoned beef paste that was velvety smooth and not rubbery.

When all else failed, you can still take comfort in their food. Was really tempted to try the Roasted Lamb Chop (about RM25) or the Australian Tenderloin steak (about RM32), yet I have had enough of red meat for the entire week’s quota.

All in all, although the food did not incite a die-die-must-try ritual and converted us to believers, the charming ambience, paired with a cozy al fresco dining environment and relatively affordable prices (this being in Bangsar, after all), I wouldn’t think twice of dropping by for a leisure brunch come Sunday.

Kedai Kopi Shin Lok 新乐茶室

Business Hour 7am – 7pm

The thick coffee reminded me of Hainanese kopitiam’s version; laden with a bitter tinge behind the taste bud after sipping on a spoonful. Roasted to a smoky finish, the coffee here satisfied my cravings that morning, ensuring a very pleasant journey ahead.

The Chicken Quiche I had was a passable affair; being more of a light snack than a meal on its own; studded with broccoli, tomatoes and button mushrooms. The Frangipane (blueberry and coconut/pineapple were available today) fared much better; with a lovingly-buttery crust and the right proportion for tea time.

All in all, this was an enjoyable feast laden with more hits than misses, and dining in an environment that’s suitable for families, friends and even smaller parties of below 4 pax.

Business Hour Opens from 8am until 8pm daily. Closed on Sundays.

Priced at around 70 cents per piece, the Nyonya kuih sold at Khoo Eng Chee are definitely worth the patience (if you’re a dumb @$$ like yours truly who kept knocking on closed doors on Sundays), and value-for-money.

Kedai Kopi Taman Eng Ann

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 6.30am to 4.30pm, closed on Tuesday

Eng Ann Coffee Shop started as Heng Lee Coffee Shop back in 1963; now the tradition retained without fanciful tweaks and passed on to the owner and her husband whom can be seen laboriously working up the crowd’s hankering for a good cuppa coffee and toast to bless their day with.

I personally felt that the key selling point has to be the incredibly low price. A box of four’s will only set you back at around RM25/USD8 or so.

A’Han Nyonya Kuih

Cuisines Nyonya

A’Han Nyonya Kuih shop sells various other confectioneries as well, but we did not bother to gauge the quality of these this time around since we were aiming for lunch at Hoe Fong Chicken Rice almost immediately after.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

Business Hour Opening Hours; Mon – Sun: 10:00 am-10:00 pm

The noodles at Santouka had this mild alkaline taste the first few mouthfuls, but then dissipated pretty quickly. The flavoursome broth is the highlight here, and should be the measuring stick for every good bowl of ramen.

Zi Long Restaurant

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 10.30am to 10.30pm daily

The overall experience was still mildly positive in my opinion, as the immense number of Szechuan dishes whipped up by the 5 chefs brought in from China was more than enough of a reason to keep coming back for more.
