- BEEF BRISKET NOODLES - Tengkat Tong Shin, runs parallel to Jalan Alor. Stall near the beginning of the road. Open at night till midnight.
- CHAR SIEW/CHICKEN RICE - Tengkat Tong Shin, further up the road. Old prewar shop house. This has to be the drop dead unhealthiest piece of anything you can insert in your mouth in KL? But to die for chicken is strictly as filler to make sure you don't get a heart attack overdosing on char siew.
- FISH BALLS - Tengkat Tong Shin, a little further up the road from char siew's stall. Stall inside a coffee shop. This guy is good looking at the amount of people he employs to help out!
- SEAFOOD NOODLES - Segambut, near Auto Bavaria. A big bowl full of noodles and assorted mussels, prawns, cuttlefish, fish etc. for reasonable price. Pick of soup, clear, tom yam, curry. Forget the rest, or for the curry. Soya bean with cincau not bad. Avoid on Sunday mornings. You will wait for an hour. Fried Chicken Rice (only on Wed and Sat)!! There is a branch now open in SS2 Chow Yang, called Restoran Yu Ai with yellow signboard, just a few doors away from Kayu Nasi Kandar.
- CHEF'S SALAD - Flagz, behind Souled Out. This salad is as all salads should be crunchy FRESH veggies, and the dressing is to die for. Easily the best salad in town. And I don't even like salad. Beer is the freshest in town too great bite.

The fellow has been frying for longer than I can recall, and he is so good that you may have towait up to 45 minutes during lunchtime. Doesn't use too much oil almost perfect. As above, you'll have to go to Penang to beat this. Other stalls in the same shop not bad.

- BAK KUT TEH KLANG - Hokkien Association off the main highway leading to the heart of Klang is a good place to start for beginners.
- DIM SUM - Marriott Hotel. Chinese restaurant here serves northern China style dim sum. Easily best dim sum in town. A little pricey.
- FISH HEAD - Off Jalan Sungai Besi, just past WANTAN MEE, turn left right after BP. Three shops clumped together. All look dilapidated but don't worry. Don't know what type of fish they get their heads from, but I suspect fresh water fish. Hot sauce fish head to die for. Extremely reasonable prices.
- BAK KUT TEH - Segambut, go past Auto Bavaria, follow road all the way until you see a Chinese temple on your left. Enter the temple courtyard and you will see a tin shack where they serve bak kut teh. Not quite up there with Klang, but nothing to sneeze at. Go for yam rice rather than white rice. Fried Chicken Rice (only on Weds and Sat)!!
- NASI KANDAR/KERABU/LAUT - Taman Tun, the other end of Secret Recipe in a store on the same block, usually with a van outside. Truly Kelantanese style. Only in the morning though.

Sepasang pengantin yang baru berkahwin 4 bulan. Pada suatu malam si isteri memeluk leher suami dengan nada manja seraya berkata, "ayang, period I dah lewat sebulan, tapi I tak boleh nak pastikan lagi sebab kita kena gi check kat doktor." Si suami yang teramat gembira tu pun berpakat dengan isterinya untuk tidak memberitahu sesiapa pun tentang perkhabaran gembira ini sehingga ianya benar-bena pasti.
Pada suatu hari, pasangan ini didatangi oleh pegawai dari TNB kerana terdapat tunggakkan dalam pembayaran bill elektrik rumah mereka. Pegawai TNB tu pun berkata "ini rumah Encik Mahpus ker?" "Iya, saya ni isterinya... ada apa encik" Pegawai TNB tu pun berkata, "Puan, ni dah sebulan lewat, saya dah tak boleh tunggu ni, nanti boss saya marah." Dengan nada terkejut, si isteri itu pun membalas balik cakap pegawai TNB tu. "APA??? Macam mana pulak encik tahu yang saya ni sebulan lewat???" Pegawai TNB tu pun dengan selamba menjawab "ala puan, ni kan zaman IT, semua tu ada dalam komputer dan kita boleh check online" Kata-kata pegawai TNB tu membuatkan si isteri tu lagi terkejut. "APAAA???? Saya lewat sebulan pun awak semua boleh tahuuu???"
Pegawai TNB tu pun mententeramkan keadaan "Relek puan, puan ni baru lewat sebulan, ada yang lagi teruk, lewat 5-6 bulan" Si isteri yang terperanjat beruk dengan kenyataan pegawai tu pun berkata, nanti saya bincang dengan suami saya...lalu pegawai TNB tu pun beredar dari situ...Keesokkan harinya, selepas si Mahpus ini diberitahu oleh isterinya, dia pun naik berang dan terus ambik cuti dan pergi ke kedai TNB yang berdekatan... Dengan tanpa menghiraukan pegawai-pegawai TNB yang ramai di situ, dia pun memekik seraya berkata "Apa korang ni, isteri saya sebulan lewat pun nak heboh-heboh ke dalam internet. Awak ni semua yang berkeluarga tak pernah lewat sebulan kerrrr????!! Bisness apa korang buat niii?? nak kena saman kerr???
Lalu pegawai yang datang ke rumah si Mahphus ni berdiri dan mententeramkan keadaan. "sabar encik, sabar encik, apa susah, kalau cik nak settlekan perkara ni, bayar je..." kata-kata pegawai TNB tu membuatkan si Mahpus naik berang. "APAAA?? nak bayar korang? Belahhhh lahh.... "Lalu pegawai TNB tu pun cakap "kalau macam tu, kita terpaksa potong encik punya....... ...." Si Mahpus mencelah "apa??? potong??? abih tu isteri saya di rumah nak pakai apaaaaaa???"

Receive this email from a friend. Well, if this is true, then better be extra careful when you buy fried food in kampongs.
This is a TRUE STORY and Saw Loon told me it happened to her place at Kedah, Tunjang I think.
This is a TRUE STORY and Saw Loon told me it happened to her place at Kedah, Tunjang I think.
It happened in PERLIS (Titi Chai Kangar, the pasar malam area where GORENG PISANG are sold in the afternoon).
Mom said, my uncle saw the GORENG PISANG hawker added plastic straw (those use for drinking water) into hot boiling oil (and it melted) before he fried the GORENG PISANG, that is why GORENG PISANG, UBI, etc all are very crispy even for hours.
And, my uncle asked the hawker but he kept quite and when my uncle told my mom about it, then only they realized that this is how fried fritters can still maintain crispy for hours. My mom said that in Thailand they do the same to keep the fried food crispy eg:- ikan bilis, fried onions which if you leave them in the open air for hours still crispy.
Please forward to all your friends ------ DO NOT EAT CRISPY FRIED FOOD from hawkers !! Try to leave it in the open air for hours and see.
Here's another one:-
I was with my family Cameron Highlands. It was 3 pm and we were hanging around at a market area. We saw many hawker stalls, suddenly something attracted my attention at one of the stalls, there was a big wok of boiling oil with a half 5 litres empty oil bottle in it. The plastic bottle melted slowly in the hot oil. At first I thought it was an unintentional act by a 7 years old girl but when I looked closely, I saw she was holding a pair of chopsticks and stirring the bottle, it appears the act was intentional, oh my God ------ these people are using meltedplastic to fry food, so that the tit bits will not go soft when it cooled due to plastic.
