Hung Kee Restaurant

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 11.30am – 8.30pm daily. Closed on Thursdays.

We completed the feast with a serving of their famed Sweet and Sour Pork; really crunchy stuff coated with a sweet and sour sauce, a plate of Stir Fried Leeks with Roasted Pork and a portion of Steamed Ma Yau (Threadfin) with Salted Fish.

House Of Claypots

Cuisines Chinese

The stewed soups fared okay; at RM5.50 per serving, I was not complaining.

Pandamaran A Bak Kut Teh

Cuisines Chinese

The broth was lighter than how I like it to be; more accustomed to Mo Sang Kor or even Pao Xiang’s version.

The meal came to about RM30 (USD10) per person, including of a pot of Chinese tea and white rice. Gao Ren Guan holds a very dear position in the heart of the young generations running the establishment I suppose.

Pretty reasonable I’d say, given the prime location, new concept and a very fresh outlook.

They do serve various pork dishes on top of the beef, lamb and chicken selection; plus an interesting smoked duck dish. Go for their Shepherd’s Pie or Steak & Mushroom Pie if you are here. For desserts, they have Apple Crumble and Trifle as well.

Their rendition of a dense “Malaysian pancake” filled with an omelette wrapped within an extremely thin (almost filo-like) crispy layer of dough (I had their roti telur), and paired with a tremendous beef curry was second to none.

Business Hour Closed on Tuesdays. 11.30am-3.00pm, 6.00pm-10.00pm.

The meal came to about RM80 or so (including taxes, rice and tea), an acceptable price given the pleasant dining environment, quick service and quality cooking.

Business Hour Monday – Sunday : 10.30am-3pm & 6pm-11pm

All in all, the meal cost us about RM20-RM25 per pax; and I daresay this was a steal given the quality of the cooking, the portions served and the environment.

This will worth your journey here if you enjoy dining under the stars (and somewhat ‘romantic’ light bulbs!); caressed by the gentle breeze.

Rustic, simple ambience, fairly fresh seafood, decent prices

Yes the crabs were fresh; reasonably large and grilled to the right degree. But the winner was the sauce. And to be charging RM60/kg can be a little steep in my opinion.

Josephine was one of the first few cafes in town that serves Illy coffee; now more common than ever with even J’Co Donuts serving the same brand of coffee beverages.
