Kam Heong Stewed Duck Rice | PJ State

Today, I introduced about duck rice. I personally a duck lover and no matter stewed duck or roasted duck I will sure be there for it. Now, I will like to recommend is the famous stewed duck (Lo Ngap) rice in PJ state. I stay near PJ state and always pass by without knowing there is a duck rice shop until my bf recommended me. I think I should explore more in PJ side now. Kam Heong Restaurant is a coffee shop beside OUB bank and just opposite of Menara MPPJ. In the morning, this coffee shop sell the popular Prawn Mee and Claypot Porridge. While in the evening, it is the stewed duck rice that will be taken over the whole coffee shop.

Anyway, if you are first time there, find a seat for you and family. Take a seat, there will have people to come to your table to take order. Even if you prefer to order over the counter, you may do so. So far they have not miss any of my order yet.

 Stewed Duck (Lo Ngap)

The duck meat is so tender and juicy with the gravy around, make me call for another bowl of rice. The meat is soft and not like those roasted duck meat which is more harder to eat.

 Stewed Pork Leg

Dad and brother like it very much. I wasn't really like to eat big chunk of pork like this one. But it is very nice, the meat is cooked until tender and soft. The potion is ordered according to number of head. 

 Salty Vegetables

I love this very much. The salty vegetables wasn't salty at all. It is about the same as sour vegetables but it doesn't taste sour at all. It is cooked with the pork oil. A good dish to eat with the duck which stimulate your taste bud before you start your meal.

Stewed Egg

The eggs were cooked in the gravy for a few hours which we can see that the egg become brownish colour. The eggs has totally absorb the gravy which is the main purpose of how stewed eggs created. It is really nice.

Total we (4 pp) have pay around RM 38.00 for the whole dinner without the drinks.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka | Pavillion

After looking at some blogs about this place, I managed my time to pay a visit here. See what is good inside. There always a queue at this place whenever I pass by, so it was when I arrived. I queued for around 30 minutes before I got my seat. I ordered when I was queueing. Santouka is recognised in Japan, USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

The ambience was nice but it was a bit packed. Not really enjoyable in a place that really packed and noisy. It is a place for you to eat and go, long conversation with friends is a no no for here.

Green Tea (cold)-RM4.00

I always like green tea whenever I'm in any Japanese restaurant. Same as this time. A big bottle of green tea and a glass of ice served when you order the cold type. If you order the hot type, a pot of green tea will be serve. Anyway, the restaurant also served you a complimentary ice water.

Chicken Gyoza-RM10.00

I personally do not like gyoza (jiaozi) because of the leek or green onion. But this one I still able to finish it as it was not that much of leek plus it is soft and the meat is so tender and nice to eat. The Gyoza's skin wasn't thick at all. One bite toward the meat, one try you will love it. Must Try!

This restaurant served only Ramen which come in three size- small, medium and large. I picked the small potion which is really enough for me. I was planing to order the Char Siu ramen, but was recommended by the waitress on Tokusen Toroniku (Premium Pork Cheek Meat) Ramen which only sold 40 plates a day as she described. Toroniku Ramen is their signature ramen which has the toppings served separately. Toroniku Cha-shu is simmered pork cheek (jowl) meat which is very rare and only 200-300g can be taken from each pig. The meat is tender and very easy to chew. I never try that tender and nice pork meat before.

Shio Toroniku (small)-RM33.50

The soup base I chosen for Tokusen Toroniku Ramen is Shio (Salt Flavour). The Shio Ramen is mild and creamy soup seasoned with salt. It is the only ramen that is topped off with a Japanese pickled plum. I like it very much and it is not salty at all in case you will scare by the word salt flavour. I personally like Udon more than Ramen but this Ramen is superb. They choose to use the medium size noodle which have a good flavour and blend well with the soup. Must Try!

Shoyu Toroniku (large)-RM40

Shoyu Ramen Soup is made from a mixture of pork broth and soy sauce. Dried seaweed is used as a topping only for Shoyu Ramen to bring out its flavour. However, the taste more to the miso flavour and it is a bit salty.

Chawan Mushi-RM6.00

The normal steamed egg you will get it from a Japanese restaurant.

El Cerdo | Changkat, Bukit Bintang

I went with my colleagues to this so called "pork" place. El Cerdo mean " The Pig" in Spanish, is a restaurant which specialise in pork dishes. It is said that they specialize in home-cooked pork flavours from all over the world like Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico. It is located at Changkat, Bukit Bintang where the most busy place in KL at night.

Complimentary bread and pig liver pate

Most of my colleagues did not dare to try when they heard it was make from pig liver. This doesn't stop me from trying. I just love any part inside the pig. It taste quite nice actually with the combination of bread. But if you just take it directly put into your mouth, it has very strong smell of meat. I suggest take the pig liver pate with the bread, it is really nice.

 Spanish Ham Platter for two to three persons

Assortment of Jamon Serrano and Jamon Iberico with a Variety of Chorizo Sausages and Condiments

All the ham served were a bit salty although it looks delicious. Everyone just could not finish it because it just make everyone drink a lot of water when trying to eat it. Over marinated the ham or maybe it is just the way like that? The potion was really big where they separated into 2 plate for us, enough for 10 persons. 

El Cerdo Sausage Platter

This is the best dish I taste so far. I love it. The sausages taste great with the Sauerkraut (sour cabbage) and Mashed Potato. I love the Sauerkraut as it doesn't taste that sour and a good combination with the sausages. The home-made sausages taste really nice. So far this is the one that make me want for more. Must Try!

Over Roasted BBQ Glazed Ribs-RM68

Glazed with American BBQ sauce, served with mango salad

The pork ribs taste really juicy, goes just nice with the BBQ sauce. Anyway, if you are thinking eating pork ribs with fork and knife, please forget it. You will just end up embrassing yourself as it should eat it with your hand. But don't worry, a bowl of water with lemon will be served to you to wash your hand. Must Try!

 “COCHINILLO AL ESTILO SEGOVIANO” Whole Roasted Suckling Piglet RM 258 (4 persons)

The famous roasted suckling piglet that everyone will try if they come to El Cerdo. No one walk away without trying it. You will have to go with their own traditional ceremony before eating it. The piglet will be cut into pieces by using only the plate.This is why it is famous for. Before cutting, you will have use the plate provided to knock the wooden plate for 3 times, then only you can start to chop 3 parts- neck, body and end of buttock. After cutting, take the plate and make a wish before throw into a big wooden bucket.

The skin of the suckling pig was thin and crispy but to compare to Chinese style suckling pig, it just far behind from it. The meat was tender and nice but the only problem is the smell of the pork was too stong. I personally who is a meat lover just could not take it. For those people who likely have meat, I think this isn't a good to try for it. You could put more of the sauce to cover the smell. Anyway, I still prefer the Chinese Style suckling pig more and the price is far more cheaper too. The whole suckling pig was far more enough for 10 of us although it was stated for 4 persons. We end up packing back the leftover.

Salad that came with the suckling pig. Just nice for us to have some green after so much of pork overload.

Mashed Potatoes also come along with the suckling pig. 

Paella Traditional Mixta with Seafood, Chicken and Pork-RM88

It looks colourful and delicious, unfortunately it doesn't taste like how it looks. It is a bit disappointing. I guess Malaysian's food like nasi briyani, nasi tomatoes or fried rice where far more better than this. I wasn't planing to compare but it just doesn't taste like the price we should pay for.

After meal drink, a digestive drink which taste a bit lemon and lime, alcohol and salt on top.

I still think that the food were overrated and the price was a bit over price as compare to other similar restaurants. I guess I wont coming back for the near future as there are still many good food out there for me to explore.
