Coconut Flower (Teluk Gong

Coconut Flower (Teluk Gong - Klang)

When my cravings for crab started, it was hard to find a suitable place to have it. I didn't want to go back to a seafood restaurant in PJ as the prices are exorbitant and the taste is about average. A friend who stays in Klang recommended this place. According to him, it used to be a small hut selling toddy (fermented coconut liqour) and it got its name from there. In Chinese the drink is loosely translated to coconut flower. He said the prices are ok and service is quick. So we crawled through traffic and braved big trucks before arriving to the place.

The restaurant is huge but you won't see much of it from the road. It has lots of huts for dining privacy and even a two-storey area for presumably, a banquet. The friend did the ordering and it didn't take long for the food to arrive in droves.

First to come was the fried sotong. I was half expecting it to be coated with salted egg yolk but it wasn't. It had some kind of herb-ish flavour and the squid was nicely cooked. Somehow I think this was just average in taste.

Next was one of my favourites, fried prawn paste. This was delicious and it finished after making a round among fellow diners. It wasn't too chewy and the flavour was just bursting in my mouth.

Next up was the sweet and sour fish. Normally I like my fish steamed but since this came recommended I happily ate it up. The fish tasted fresh without a hint of fishiness while the sauce had some kick to it. It also reminded me of mum's cooking. This is a must-have too.

The bamboo clams has got to be the biggest I’ve seen so far. I'm not sure what style it is cooked in but the gravy has a nice taste to it. However, because of its size, the meat was not as tender as the smaller clams were.

Lastly was the crabs. It was done kam heong style and was placed so far away from me ecause I would selfishly have it all to myself. For a table of 9 we had three juicy crabs. The kam heong was spicy and tasty. The crabs however were huge and fresh. By the end of it, I was so stuffed I could hardly move.

The guys also had a jolly good time with the toddy. It has a white milkish texture but tasted sour. It also has a foul smell but some reckon it is an acquired taste. To offset the sourness, some of them mixed the toddy with Guinness Stout which I think it is more palatable. The bill came up to about RM300.

Malaysian Sodhi (Indian Coconut Milk Stew)

Sodhi. Coconut milk infused and laced ( Shrimp Coconut Milk ) Indian coconut stew. In fact, sodhi is the branching of Masak Lemak ( Vegetarian Malay Spinach Coconut Stew ), or vice-versa or whichever. Sodhi is definitely a popularity amongst the Indians and without a doubt, in my house as well. Sodhi is usually drenched over rice, and eaten alongside side dishes. Trust me, nothing like sodhi soaking or flooding up your rice and then, using your hands for mushy-mushy diving inside eating style. Sodhi. Like, every once a week in my house. In other words, a regularity and it is a dish that can be put up effortlessly. Needless to say, easy cooking and mind you, there are other variances of sodhi too, which I have already shared before ( Malu Kirata , Kiri Hodi , Prawn Sodhi & Cabbage Sodhi ). This latest sodhi? Basically, the humble, basic simplicity, but why a Malaysian Sodhi? Well, Cooked by this “The Crazy Lover” who is a typical, true and true Malaysian, and cooked in her, most o

Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry)

Look at this earthen pot and in it thick, salty, spicy and vibrantly exciting to our palates and eyes Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry). Like immediately can trigger our hunger throne right? I know. I am definitely a big fan of this Indian style salted fish curry and salted fish on the whole by itself ( Spicy Ikan Bilis Potato , Sambal Tumis Ikan Bilis & Sambal Kentang Ikan Asin ), can drive me crazy because I so love saltiness. In fact, every day can be a salted fish meal day for me ( Salted Fish Pickle , Bean Sprouts Salted Fish & Steamed Pork Salted Fish ). But, I think we all know it? Too much of saltiness and salt can ruin our health? Of course. Then again, there is such a thing as every now and then saltiness as our best friend? How do make this salted fish curry? Nothing much, no major confusing cooking matter ( Salted Fish Bone Curry ). My recipes as always will never cause you to struggle in the kitchen. Ingredients listed below

Restoran Orkid Thai - Section 9, Shah Alam

By the third day, Iphone 7 started showing its dark side. Really a terrifying-horrible shocking discovery, it kept rebooting every now and then for no apparent reason. Obviously, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Duh! Its a brand new phone I paid from my savings ( Da De Bak Kut Teh Subang Jaya ), never ever have I encountered such a problem with my previous faithfully yours 6 year old Iphone 5. Absolutely heart wracking, I really couldn’t find the time ( Karaikudi Chicken Curry & Fikcles Cafe Taman Tun ) to rush to the service centre amidst the busyness of getting ready for the family wedding and another travel venture ( Oats Fried Prawn s ). Keeping my fingers crossed, hoping it’s just a minor teething problem, I went ahead with shopping nearby Plaza Shah Alam and Plaza Masalam. Accompanied by my niece, we bought a couple of things and then of course, naturally, shopping is more or less regarded as synonymous with hunger throne.
