Restoran Siu Siu @ Sungai Besi KL

I wonder how long this restaurant has been in business. The thing is, I have never noticed a restaurant located next to the TUDM Sungai Besi everytime I drove by the highway.. until my sister-in-law initiated CNY dinner here. "What? There's this place?" came my reply :P

And here I was, stood in front of the restaurant in amazement. Such a big establishment next to the Sungai Besi Highway and yet I haven't noticed it even though I passed it countless times!

The place was huge and spacious!

Should you need more privacy, they have a few private gazebos with tables and chairs. We wanted that but since it was CNY and we were a bit late in reservation, all were taken!

Look Ma - they have a standalone stall just to prepare the yee sang

It was fun doing the lou sang with families... each and everyone with their own wish during CNY! Me? I always hope for better & smoother business. After all, it's all about prosperity right? As soon as we cleaned up the yee sang, dinner began!

Taufu kang that only uses crab meat, taufu, fish maw, mushroom and other ingredients.. all but shark meat! As good as the shark fin broth but definitely less controversial. Trying my best to preserve this endangered species :)

Seafood claypot - mushroom, sea cucumber, fish maw and green pea! Full of collagen goodness..

Signature char siew - surprisingly it had the melt-in-the-mouth texture, slightly charred and right fat to lean meat ratio. I didn't know that they whipped out such a delicious meat! Don't miss this dish ok?

Thai style pork knuckle - signature dish of this restaurant. The sauce was both sourish and spicy (perfect combination) but the meat lack those of fork tender and fall-off-the-bone texture. Great to pair with white rice though!

Stir fried prawn with pumpkin and salted egg - tad too salty but to me it was just right. Fresh prawn with the sinful gravy enveloping it. Just lick all the gravy and then devour the meat.

Kangkung belacan - no complains!

Stir fried nai bak - another green dish to balance up the dinner.

Leo's verdict - Heard that their claypot crab rice is very famous! I shall make another trip here soon... Jenn loves crab very much!

Hometown @ Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara

Jenn & I stumbled upon this little outlet by coincidence. It was our first time going to Sunway Giza on a rainy Saturday evening. Since it was raining and rather cold, something hot, comforting and home-y came to our mind. Since all their tables were at the outdoor area, we could see the diners slurping the hot & steamy bowl of noodle from where we were standing.

This outlet is located next to Village Grocer at the cornermost area. Since the outlet's inner space is quite limited, all the tables and chairs are placed outside.

Hometown Curry Prawn Noodle @ RM12.90 (S) - the curry broth was packed with flavour and the noodle was obviously handmade instead of the commercial ones (no taste of preservatives at all!)... therefore, Jenn gave her approval on this dish. Throw in fu chuk, taufu pok, plump taugeh (bean sprout), cockles and 2 rather big fresh prawns and it's good to go :)

Hometown Meat Noodle @ RM12.90 - hakka style braised pork with black fungus. The saltiness level was just right and when the gravy was paired with the dry homemade noodle, every slurp was a JOY to me!

Thai style roll @ RM10 - nothing to shout about this dish (normal but non-oily) but the Thai style chilly sauce was quite addictive I'd say.

Leo's verdict - To those who doesn't mind being stared or sitting outside, then this is the place for you. Both Jenn & I were impressed by the food although we didn't have high expectation at first. An ad hoc decision to satisfy our hungry stomach with soupy and comfort dish ended up a little gem being unearthed! To those who has been to Sunway Giza before, this place is just right next to Village Grocer.

P.S: Haven't been online for a long time during this CNY break, I am BACK!!!
