Right after you drive past the turn-off into Jalan Waras 3, you’ll see a big yellow sign written in Chinese with a big arrow pointing right into the alley. Follow it up the road and pray hard for an empty parking spot. Then grab a seat and get ready for one of the best steamed fish you’ll ever have in the Klang Valley. Big Tree Lin Kee have been around for about 7 years. Named after the matriarch of the family,… Chinese 2012-02-02T09:08:09+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/nasi-lemak-marvellous/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/nasi-lemak-marvellous/#When:07:32:09Z Nasi Lemak Marvellous in Bukit Indah is known for their teensy packages of this Malaysian favourite. Tiny in stature but huge in popularity this family-run business is helmed by Pakcik Abu and his wife Makcik Yasimah. His wife does most of the cooking while Pak Abu and his son manage the restaurant. They started with a small stall in 1997 and relocated to their current location in 2003. Most people opt to tapau their Nasi Lemak for small gatherings or to eat at home. One guy even ordered 200 packs… Malay 2012-01-29T07:32:09+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/toowoomba-meats-and-deli/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/toowoomba-meats-and-deli/#When:05:47:17Z Good news! I can now tick ‘eat steak in a swamp’ off my to-do list. It was a rather pleasant experience, and one I wouldn’t mind going through again. Good food in a good place; that’s hard to beat. So, steak in a swamp: done! But let’s back up. No, I wasn’t actually in a swamp. That’d be weird. It just so happens ‘Toowoomba’ means swamp in native Australian Aborigine, as the poster on the wall says. And instead of a wet bog with mosquitoes flying around, Toowoomba Meats and Deli… Western 2012-01-12T05:47:17+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/satay-station/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/satay-station/#When:05:57:23Z The aroma of beef and chicken being cooked over charcoal fire greets you every time you make your way to one of their restaurants. Long rows of satay grace the grill. Juicy morsels of fat are sandwiched between scrumptious chunks of meat skewered together and then grilled to perfection. The fat melts on the grill infusing its rich flavour into the skewered cuts of meat. Spices like turmeric, garlic and onions intermingle in the marinade resulting in a wonderful coating of goodness to the chicken… Malay 2012-01-06T05:57:23+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/nasi-kandar-jelutong/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/nasi-kandar-jelutong/#When:08:02:02Z I can count with one hand nasi kandar sellers that still practices the old art form. Most of them are in Penang and one of the them is this nameless stall in Kedai Kopi Tai Min along Jelutong Road (just opposite the Jelutong Balai Polis). You can't miss this place. They have queues that start as early as 6.30am. Just look out for that and you're there. Nasi kandar that is made the old school way has a smooth taste, although (mind you) we are talking about curries here. And the mixing process of different… Indian 2011-12-29T08:02:02+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/gulam-mee/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/gulam-mee/#When:12:03:13Z The best Mee Goreng Mamak is more commonly found in Penang. Their Klang Valley counterparts don't seem to make the cut. That's why when someone told me about a place in Kota Damansara that has the unassuming Mee Goreng as a signature dish I was game to give it a go. I mean it saves me a long trip to Penang for a plate of fried noodles, right? So I headed to Gulam Mee with great expectations. It's not often that Mee Goreng is given centre stage so I hope that my traffic-ridden trip to… Indian 2011-12-27T12:03:13+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/nasi-lemak-subang-jaya/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/nasi-lemak-subang-jaya/#When:11:56:08Z There’s a reason why Makcik Yati and Pakcik Syafiq have successfully attracted customers to their little stall in Subang for the past 30 years. It’s because they treat their customers like family. If you’re a regular, they keep track, remembering your favourite lauk and sambal preferences. Sometimes preparing your Nasi Lemak just by a simple request of “Macam biasa ye, Pakcik?” (The regular order, Uncle.) Some people call the Nasi Lemak here the working man’s Nasi Lemak.… Malay 2011-12-18T11:56:08+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/restoran-santa/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/restoran-santa/#When:12:13:31Z With Christmas round the corner, I thought it apt to check out Santa Chapati House. So on a sunny Saturday, we venture to Lebuh Ampang for the best chapati in KL. This better be worth the train trip and 10min trek! It’s usually packed with office workers during the weekdays but on this Saturday, there is hardly a crowd and the workers are gathered at the back chattering among themselves before they spot our entrance. In an instant, a server comes to take our order as we peer at the food counter… Indian 2011-11-30T12:13:31+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/gerai-ah-kow-sesame-chicken-rice/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/gerai-ah-kow-sesame-chicken-rice/#When:10:52:38Z Steamed or roasted are usually the two options you get when you order chicken rice. Game for something different? Get out of your comfort zone and try the fried sesame chicken sold at Gerai Ah Kow. Hailing from Perak, Uncle Ah Kow ventured into the food business by selling noodles from his bicycle around the streets of KL in 1971. It was only in 1983 that he came up with the ingenious sesame chicken recipe and decided to open up a stall at Medan Selera Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz. And the rest suffice… Chinese 2011-11-25T10:52:38+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/rock-road-seafood-restaurant/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/site/detail/rock-road-seafood-restaurant/#When:09:51:00Z As I dip a fried mantou bun into the luscious Hainanese sauce, my eyes lit up. The yummy sauce sticks to the bun like a second skin. I take a bite and flavours of chillies, garlic, sesame seeds and vinegar fills my mouth. The sauce is absolutely delicious but when you pair it with big fat prawns, it's even more amazing. Tender prawns are coated in this sticky sauce producing a combination of sweet and sour notes. Eat them with or without their crispy skin but please do not forgo the sucking action.… 2011-11-11T09:51:00+08:00
