Glories Food in KL

Food is a common topic among most Singaporeans. When I cross to KL, Malaysia, I will look for opportunities to makan the street food.

PJ is a popular spot for asian food. It is an open air hawker environment with multiple food stalls to choose from.


A star attraction of this coffee shop. Hokkien Mee. This is a mix version of mee boon and yellow mee. Delicious. Typically, I will ask for a sunny side up fried egg on top of the dish.


The stingray is chopped into small pieces cook in an aluminium bag. There is a generous amount lady's fingers in the bag. It is spicy. Personally, I would prefer the whole slice stingray on a banana leaf on a hot plate.


Washing it down with a shot of Heineken.



We adjourned to a different location for nasi lemak.


Rice and sambal are awesome combination,

The rice is fluffy. The sambal is not very spicy. It has a bit of sweetness. The chicken is well BQQ.

The fried egg gives a different dimension to the coconut rice.

Bak Ku Teh at Sri Hamtamas - dry and wet version. The dry version is spicy. The soup is easy to drink but I prefer if it is more herbal.

Ordered a combination of ribs , liver, kidney and pork belly.


I was recommended to this Zhi Cha in PJ SS2.

  I tried the pig's internal organs porridge. The porridge is smooth. I find the internal organs limited in selection though. There is lots pig's tongue. I was hoping for intestines, stomach and liver.
Perhaps, next time I will try their fish porridge.

I wanted to try the local Chinese restaurant in KL. My friend told me to take a MRT to Sungei Bukloh. The experience of the MRT is horrible due to signalling problem. It is something that I will not want to write about it.

This air conditioned. One of the popular dish is the roasted chicken below.  When it is served, the chicken hot and you need to cut the chicken with a scissors with a plastic glove. Be careful as the chicken is very hot.

Recently, the menu has changed. I prefer the old menu has it has much wider variety. I tried their new sea bass course. It is light and the fish is nice. I wish there is more vegetables or potatoes to the dish.

The porridge is quite smooth.

The slices of grouper is large , but the grouper tastes sniff. I wish it is softer. I think it may be frozen rather than fresh slices.

 The shop is located among many other eateries.

I ordered the slice spicy pork to accommodate the porridge. The pork is too fatty but the sauce goes well with the porridge.
