KK Food Reviews

If you’re a local, then you would probably have heard about the famous dim sum restaurant in Lintas/Hilltop called Foo Phing.

If you have not heard of it, Foo Phing is a VERY popular place to eat dim sum here in KK. The number of people that come to this place is crazy! This place is packed most of its business hours! Talk about good business!

Not only are the dim sum served here are yummy (and have quite a good selection), the restaurant has both and aircon and non-aircon places to sit. Most of the people would try to get a seat on the aircon room first, though!

Here is the non-aircon section, which is basically in between the 2 aircon lots.

And here is one of the aircon section, where luckily my family managed to get a table before I got there..

I’ve already mentioned that they have a lot of dim sum selections to choose from, and because I was too hungry, I forgot to take about most of the dim sum we ordered!

But I did managed to take these pics:

The 2 differrent kinds of pau; the big types and the little ones:

Keep in mind that this place is not halal.

So to you dim sum lovers, this place is worth to have a try!

Whenever I mention that I wanna see wuo tie (chinese dumpling), almost everyone I know would recommend me to go eat at Kedai Kopi Chuan Hin, especially for a late night snack.

I have been here several times, but never got the chance to take any pictures of the food. But I managed to do so just now!

Kedai Kopi is located near the Luyang and Hilltop traffic light, and right next to The Cottage.

So here’s what wuo tie looks like:

Price: RM5 for 10 pieces.

You can either ask for the steamed or pan-fried one, but it has to be 10 pieces per order. So since BF and I have already eaten our dinner, we only asked for the pan-fried one..

What’s so special of the wuo tie here is that the skin is still moist and not too dry. When you have your first bite bite of this food, you can taste the juicy filling, and it goes well with the skin. Very yummy! Unlike other wuo tie shop that tastes like biscuit (fully dried up).

If you fancy a late night snack after that clubbing or drinking session, you can head on over to Chuan Hin and have some of these delicious wuo tie!

I have already blogged about Kheng Hin, but the last time I was there, I had porridge. Still love the porridge, by the way. The portion given is a LOT! But here’s an update on the price of the Seafood Porridge; it is actually RM7.50 (!), and not RM6.50 as stated. BF said the extra RM1 is actually because of the century egg.

Anyway, went there again last night, but this time, we had the kon lo mee. Was told that this place is famous for this, and young and old would always come here to eat this.

This kon lo mee is mixed with char siew and sau nyuk meat, but they tasted just like any other char siew and sau nyuk meat out there. But the mee is quite delicious. It’s cooked just right, and it tasted fresh and springy.

Price: RM4.50.

Oh, and by the way, this kon lo mee goes well with a small bowl of seafood porridge on the side!

You can also order western food here at Kheng Hin as well..

Guess what I ordered..

None other than my favourite food, chicken wings, of course!

The chicken tasted sweet, surprisingly. BF and I couldn’t find the right word to explain it, but in the end, I think that it tasted just like a kueh! Must be the flour..

My next mission of this place is to try the dim sum next door of Kheng Hin, where it claimed to be the cheapest in town, at only RM2.50 per plate/serving!

Finally had a try at this new dessert place called First Dessert House, located on Ground Floor, at KAC.

The environment is normal I guess, for these sort of places that sells desserts. Just think of any other dessert places in Damai and you would know what I’m talking about.

The waiter came and asked what we would like to order. I asked him what the recommendations are at this place. Sadly, he doesn’t know a thing, and just showed us to the fridge that sells all sorts of fruit pudding, which is this picture below:

BF had this: Gui Ling Gao. It’s a herbal jelly, some sort of traditional medicine, originally from China. It’s supposedly able to minimize the effects of the damp-heat that seeps into your body the second you leave the air-conditioned indoors. It can also nourish our yin and remove body heat, while cleansing the blood in the body away from toxins. (Correct me if I’m wrong!)

The jelly on his Gui Ling Gao tasted the same as in other dessert places, but here, it was too hard, and BF didn’t like it.

I ordered mango pudding. Nowadays I’m starting to always order mango pudding everywhere I go, don’t ask me why.

Anyway, my mango pudding was the opposite of BF’s; it was too soft, it was almost like watery. But it tasted yummy.

I totally forgot the price for each of these food, but all I know is that the total was RM7. Normal price, I think..

Had porridge for dinner tonight with BF at Kheng Hin in Foh Sang. Was told that the porridge here is very famous; it’s super delicious!

Here are the price list for the porridges. They are all pretty reasonable, from RM4 to RM6.50.

Here’s what the inside of the shoplot look like. Check out the flat screen tv! They’re especially for advertisements, including an ad for this coffeeshop! Pretty cool!

Okay, here’s BF’s food: Pork Porridge.

Price: RM5.50.

BF said the porridge tasted just right. The scallion, fried shallots, century egg, and the main ingredient, pork, blended PERFECTLY with the porridge. Also, he was given a generous amount of the century egg, too, which BF loved!

Tip: Mix a little sesame oil and soy sauce into the porridge and it’s perfect! (Same goes to my porridge too!)

Here’s my food: Seafood Porridge.

Price: RM6.50.

Don’t let the price put you off; it’s worth every cent! Inside my porridge, there are seaweed, fried shallots, scallions, some fish slice, 2 prawns, and some crab meat.

On the picture below, can you see the fish, prawn and crab? They all tasted sweet! All these, plus the blend of the ingredients above, with some mixture of sesame oil and soy sauce, it was VERY worth the price!

The first thought that came into our mind was how huge each of our bowl is! Other people would order just one bowl, and share it with their partner, and they must think that we are really big eaters to have a bowl each!

But, luckily the porridge tasted so delicious that I managed to finish mine!

This has got to be my favourite porridge eatery so far! So if you guys haven’t tried it, you definitely should!

I’m sure some of you haven’t seen the newly re-done Giant here in Kolombong. I’ll refresh your memory. It used to be so quiet, you can count how many people actually eating at the food court with your fingers! But now:

Here’s the ground floor:

And then on the first floor, which is the main floor, they have these now:

And they also have Guardian there as well.

They even have Celyn there now!

But the truth is, the main attraction people come to this food court, apart from the aircon, is this:

a HUGE indoor playground!

It’s a great way to keep the kids entertained when you’re eating. Just keep a constant watch on them when they do!

Here is one of the 2 steamboat restaurants that you can try at Wisma KAC: Sri Maju Restaurant! If you love eating steamboat, then this is one place you should check out. Why? The food there are unbelievably fresh!

Here are the ingredients for our steamboat:

First, chicken, beef, and fish. Then a bunch of different types of mushrooms (and tauhu, not in pic)..

Then a peculiar looking veggie, and after that, crabsticks, scallops, fish balls and meat balls..

And finally, prawns, and squids (and also some wan tan and 2 eggs, and mee hoon and the yellow mee, not in pic)..

The food in here are super fresh, especially the fish balls and the tauhu. Everything else tasted like other steamboat food. But did I mention the food here are super fresh?

But overall, I give this place a 3/5. Why? Because the soup is too salty. It’s probably our fault as well, we could’ve asked some water to pour into the soup base, but we didn’t.

This steamboat meal costs RM25 per pax (no service and govt charge just yet). I think the price is reasonable because the portion of the food given were quite a lot; you’ll sue be full after the meal!

If you live somewhere near Beverly Hills in Bundusan, here’s a coffeeshop that you can check out in the morning, Bundusan Restaurant.

This coffeeshop actually takes up 2 shoplots, so it’s not that hard to find.

This is what BF and I had, dim sum. We actually came here quite late (almost noon time), so most of the other dim sum were gone by then.

But this is their specialty among all of the dim sum:

The siew mai is a lot bigger than in normal dim sum eateries! But I failed to show in my pics how big it actually is, so you just have to trust me. There’s even a big prawn (or was it 2) in this siew mai. Can’t say much about the taste, as most siew mai tastes the same, but that’s the only difference; the size of this particular siew mai sold at this shop!

But if dim sum is not your cup of tea, then you could try their other dishes here. Their other specialty (other than the siew mai) are roasted meat; chicken, duck, and pork. This is the stall for all those roasted food:

I didn’t get to try any of the roasted dishes this time around, as I was busy stuffing my mouth with the huge siew mai! I’d try it next time..

On the way back to KK from the Crocodile Farm, we stopped at one of the stalls that sells Lokan, coconut pudding, and burnt coconut..

This is the stall that we went to. It has a very kampung look, but that’s fine with us! It’s the food that matters most!

This is how the lokans are cooked. The lady asked us whether we wanted them cooked just like that (without putting anything on it), or they can put some ginger on it to reduce the lokan taste. Of course opted for the latter!

These are the lokan. You know how food tastes better cooked by kayu api than using the normal stove? Yup. It’s the same for these lokan! They were delicious!

We also had coconut pudding (I love this pudding!) and yummy coconut drink..

If you’re heading to Tuaran or anywhere nearby there, this stop is definitely a must! The coconut pudding and drink’s a great thirst quencher!

Forest fires are starting to appear again. The dry season is here again, everybody! Be careful where you throw that ciggie butt!

Have a read on my review at Excapade Sushi in Brunei, Kuala Belait branch. It has got the biggest salmon sashimi I’ve ever seen so far!
