Seafood Noodles.


This coffee shop selling seafood noodles is on the same row as the renowned Yu Ai Seafood Noodle in Segambut. Someone told me that this is the first seafood noodle stall in Segambut but I'm not so sure about this. Not interested to find out, more interested in the food.

So, I had curry seafood noodle and Elayne had the clear soup version. Although we asked for small bowl, when the food arrived the bowl looks big enough to be shared among 2 person.


There's lots of seafood in them, prawns, fish meat, squids, clams, mussels. The soup is very tasty, natural sweetness of the seafood. For RM11.50 a bowl it is a good deal I would say but the next time I think I want to share a bowl with someone as I couldn't finish the whole bowl alone.

By the way, they also have BBQ chicken and pork rice. Looks good but I didn't try them. Perhaps another time.

Satay...Intestines?

Went to SS2 Hawker Centre recently. The place hasn't change a bit since the last time I was there, about one year ago.

I have to walk up and down the centre in search for food although there are like 50 stalls there selling maybe about hundred types of food! Spoilt for choice lah! Then I saw this satay stall mend by a chinese couple ( could be husband & wife or brother & sister, well I didn't ask) and I was kind of surprise as normally satay is sold by Malays.



A Chinese satay stall. The best thing is they have got 'pork' satay! What really caught my attention is the 'intestine' satay. They are made of pig's intestine. Knowing how chewy pig's intestine can get if not cooked properly, I wonder how this recipe would be. I've got to have this intestine satay.



I'd say they are good...the intestine is tender and tasted just like satay (eh, wouldn't be called satay for no reason right?) Something different from the normal satay that I've eaten. For RM0.60 per stick, I would say they are not cheap but what the hack, don't eat so much lor.

By the way, they also have pork, chicken, beef and mutton satay. All sold at RM0.60 per stick.
Chicken wings too at RM1.90 per piece. ( a bit expensive I think)

Fish Head Dishes

Anyone fancy fish head? Can be done in many ways;

Steamed - with black bean sauce, with garlic and ginger, nyonya style (hot and sour) , tom yam style...

Braised - with special homemade sauce and dried chillies...

Curry Fish head - Indian style, Chinese Style, Nyonya Style...

This time I went to Chan Sow Lin, Jalan 3 to have steam fish head. Coming from PJ, I took the Sg. Besi old airport road and make a U-turn to Jalan Chan Sow Lin. Just follow the Chan Sow Lin signboard and you wont go wrong. It's the same row as Auto Bavaria Motor Centre, on your left. Once you're on Jalan Chan Sow Lin, just look for Jalan Tiga. I'm not sure if this stall is the famous one that everybody talked about but looking at the crowd that's already there when I arrived (11:40am) I guess I couldn't be so wrong, right? And the signboard says "ORIGINAL" mah.



They only have 2 styles, steamed with black bean and steam with ginger and garlic. Of course I tried both.




The fish head is very fresh (no fishy smell and no muddy taste). Steamed to perfection, well done but smooth. Both sauce are hot, they put in chilli padi. So if you're not a chilli eater, be extra careful.

I personally prefer the ginger and garlic sauce, simple and nice. You get a better taste of the fish. Oh, and they also put wine into this sauce so it makes it aromatic.

The black bean sauce may look plain but they are actually a speacial formulated sauce which I think is the secret recipe of the owner. I'm not going to tell you how to make this sauce as this is my family's secret recipe also. All I can say is that both taste exactly the same!

Well, I had a hearty meal that day. Really nice and for RM18 per fish head I guessed the price is quite reasonable. Only thing is, the sauce is a bit sweet to my taste other than this it's perfecto!

Even if this is not the actual 'Chan Sow Lin' stall which I heard of, it is still worth a try!
