Shiang Hai Restaurant @ Sunway Mentari

We heard that there is a vegetable sushi restaurant that was recommended by Ho Chak and friends. So, today (Boxing Day), we went to Sunway just to have lunch at this restaurant called ShiangHai Restaurant. It is just next to the McD opposite Sunway Pyramid. The shop looks like an ordinary shop lot, but the difference lies in its food. This is probably the only vegetarian restaurant that offers vegetarian sushi in Klang Valley.



There are quite a variety of food offerings by this restaurant. It has steak, fish, sushi, vegetables (which is of coz) and meat. However, these food are offered as vegetarian food. Since we were quite full, we ordered only a few dishes, which include its popular dish, sushi. We had "Lan Hua" sushi, which is blue (rice) in color, tomato fried rice, mix vegetable mushrooms and banana sushi.

"Lan Hua" sushi and mix vegetable mushrooms are recommended. The "Lan Hua" sushi tastes like a normal sushi offered by typical japanese or korean restaurants. But, whats contained inside this sushi is that it is all vegetable based. It has cucumber, rice, vegetarian bacon, sesame and seaweed.

Lan Hua sushi:


As for the banana sushi, its somehow different than the "Lan Hua" sushi. It is wrapped with thin popiah skin and contains banana, sesame, fresh cabbages and a bit of peanuts. It has a unik flavor and we love it so much. We will definitely revisit this restaurant because of its sushi.

Banana Sushi:


The tomato fried rice is another nice dish offers by the restaurant. Its more or less the same as the banana sushi because it is also wrapped with thin popiah skin. The color of this fried rice is rather simple but when it is eaten, it tastes really nice and tempting.

Tomato Fried Rice:


The mix vegetable mushrooms is just another typical dish eaten by vegetarians. It has many different kinds of vegetables such as carrots, brocolli, mushrooms, tiny jagung, ginger and others.

Mix Vegetable Mushrooms:


Finally, we tapao-ed another kind of sushi, which is called mix vegetable sushi. It is wrapped with both thin popiah skin and seaweed.

Loi Fatt @ Cheras, Kajang

There is this restaurant recommended by some of my friends but somehow could not find it in the world wide web space. So, we decided to 'hunt' down for the this restaurant, which was told to us that its specialties are seafood and more importantly, its NOT THAT EXPENSIVE. Yesterday, we went to this restaurant called Loi Fatt Seafood Restaurant, located within Cheras.



The place is rather small but its always packed, especially in the weekends. And most of the time, its seafood is already sold out by 8pm. This place is more family-oriented and you can actually see mainly families when you are dining there. Since its famous dishes are mainly seafood, we ordered a fish and la-la on top of its home-made taufu and Mongolian-style fried chicken.

The Nyonya Assam Fish:


Of coz, we are not sure how it is cooked but from the way we look at it, it has a lot of vegetables ranging from lady fingers to fresh tomatoes. The fish is fried earlier, and cooked with its home-made sauce that has a bit of sourness and not that spicy. The fish has a aromatic smell and it is also crunchy as it is fried before hand.

Home-made Taufu:


This home-made taufu is the softest and smoothest taufu that we have ever tried in the Klang Valley. Its cooked with a lot of mushrooms, chicken fillets, green beans and spring onions. Like many would say, eat it while its hot. The sauce is just nice, perfect to eat together with white rice.

Sotong (Squid) Salad:


We were recommended by the chef that one of its another popular dishes is the Squid Salad. This looks easy to cook as it has probably only squids spread with mayonnaise. But, if it is so easy to cook, then everybody would have cooked it. So, we think that there is some own recipe that is used to cook the salad. It tastes very nice, especially the mayonnaise that blended well into the squid.

Fried La-La:


This is a 'ching' fried la-la. The la-las are tiny but its flesh are big. When its inside the mouth, it has this chewy feeling with some gingers and cili padi.

Mongolian-style Fried Chicken:


This is a new dish to us and probably to many of you. We have never seen such a dish before and we decided to order it. The sauce is a bit like curry but it doesn't really taste like curry. As the chicken is fried before hand, it tastes just nice.

To many who fancy food, especially in the Klang Valley, you should have a try at this restaurant. We ordered 5 dishes (mainly seafood) and tea plus some added rice. It all came out to be around RM70. And that is for 5 persons. Its not that easy to find this place if there is no one to guide you. The address is as below:

Melaka Street @ SS2

Last Wednesday, we went to SS2 to have dinner. As many would know, there are a variety of choices of food in such a hectic area, especially during working and rush hours. Anyway, we sort of decided to have dinner at Melaka Street. I believe it should the same as the one in 1U.



In Melaka Street restaurant, there are some traditional Malaccan food and a mixture of other Malaysian food. We ordered the fish fillet on assam, which can be done on an entire fish (charges will be separately as the entire fish is weight to determine the price).



We also ordered its 'Jiu Pai Taufu' (in-house made taufu) and its vegetable. The special thing about the in-house made taufu is that it was cooked on a boiling egg on the bottom of the hot pan. When the waiter brought the dish to the table, the egg was still boiling.





We had a fulfilling dinner and went for a walk, even though it was drizzling. Anyhow, SS2 is still a place for us and many to explore, especially those who don't really go there for dinner due to many different reasons.
