Gold Coast Restaurant (金海岸餐館) 值得一試!

Gold Coast Restaurant (金海岸餐館) 值得一試!

Gold Coast Restaurant @ Island Park (青草巷).

On the way down to Dewan Sri for PFS concert, BZ who likes to eat chu char brought us to Gold Coast for dinner.

We didn’t realize there are actually set meals offered here until …

Jup! Aunty! We want to change, ei sai boh?” *Grin~~Luckily boleh!*

Value Set Meals

We changed to order value set (RM28 set) and top up with additional fish dish.
Soup of the day is Shanghai Chai Chicken Soup. We love the milky soup, not too sour, ngam ngam hoe!


Beancurd with Abalone Sauce. We finished this dish the fastest!


Pai Kut Ong. Seriously, I under-estimated this value set. MHBP leh, frankly.

Potato leaves fried with sambal (we changed to garlic instead). Hmm…of course garlic can’t beat sambal loh, less kick loh!

Siakap (fried style : we chose ‘sa bee’ (three taste)) – RM20

All of us thought it is three ways of cooking, but ended up it actually meant three types of ingredients that made up the taste. Good and cheap!


Lucky Course RM188
Birthday Course RM288

See Kong Ooi (西公園) …. Cheap and GOOD ah!

See Kong Ooi (西公園) …. Cheap and GOOD ah!

See Kong Ooi (西公園) @ Transfer Road

Once in a while I will still miss the food at See Kong Ooi.

I love the presentation of this dish, very colourful. This dish with fragance is minced meat with salted fish and tasted a bit spicy.


Curry Fish Head. The gravy is a bit watery and sourish in taste. Appetizing enough to be served alone with rice.

Kiam Chai Tau Hu Thng. Another sourish soup. OMG! I must have gone crazy to have ordered all sourish dishes. :p

The longan drink is served like this. Zhuk Zhae is served in glass.


Total only costs RM31. Cheap cheap cheap ah!

Yee Heong Choy Kon Tong (菜乾湯)

13 Jul

Yee Heong Choy Kon Tong (菜乾湯)

Yee Heong 宜香茶樓飯店 @ Campbell Street

Yee Heong which is located at Campbell Street (opposite the wet market) is one of my favourite restaurants for chu char as it’s very reasonably priced with above average quality.

No fancy dish presentation. No fancy interior decoration. The food quality proves it all.

Choy Kon Tong 菜乾湯 (RM6.00). My most favourite lou for tong (老火湯) from this restaurant. RM6 for such a big bowl woh, tai tou lan lah, hai mai xin?!


Herbal Chicken 藥材雞 (RM15.00).


Lor Hon Chye 羅漢齋 (RM8.00)


Claypot Tofu 砂煲豆腐 (RM8.00)
Ham Yu Zheng Yuk 鹹魚蒸肉 (RM8.00)

Sin Kim Han Seafood Restaurant

22 Jun

Sin Kim Han Seafood Restaurant

Sin Kim Han Seafood Restaurant @ Lintang Batu Maung 4, Batu Maung (Behind OCBC bank, the 5-storey flat).

I believe one would not come all the way to Batu Maung for zhu char, somemore it’s a remote location like this. I was impressed with the food quality and also the clean cooking style /presentation of the dishes at this place.


Stingray Gulai – Almost every table is ordering one gulai/curry dish. It’s good and flavourful! The stingray is sooooooo fresh, ‘kutt kutt ‘(licin) one! Hey, this is Batu Maung mah of course the seafood is fresh lah!


Can you see how ‘clean’ & ‘swui’ (beautiful) the dish is cooked?


Another proof for the ‘clean’ cooking style! Tofu cut in big big pieces one oi.


Choy Kon Tong (菜乾湯)- This one is fair. Of course it cannot be compared with the choy kon tong @ Yee Heong . Yee Heong that one is ‘Lou For Tong’ (老火湯) leh.

Total RM41.80 for the above + 6x rice, excluding drinks.

The kopitiam selling longan drinks with sum see one leh, inside got agar-agar one! :) A surprise loh for me. Am IMPRESSED!


I’ll be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
