What a tiring day shopping with dad!

I had no idea how hard getting a 3 piece suit for dad was. Not even 2 hours into coaxing dad to try on shirts and jackets, we were already famished.

I was eager to try out the Zun Express by Eu Yan Sang. It’s a restaurant that i pass by countless of times but didn’t even notice it existed. Not till sis told us that the food there was actually not bad.

Oh, and pardon the blur photos taken from a lousy phone LOL.


Sang Har Mee

Located right next to the Chinese herbs and medicine shop, Eu Yan Sang, the Zun Express provides a comfortable, relaxing and quiet place to dine. The lighting is dimmed and the small restaurant is spacious enough to provide privacy.


Seafood Hor Fun

Conforming to Eu Yan Sang’s theme, the food here promotes health and it’s wonderfully not oily. Do not expect very heavy tasting food here.

The Sang Har Mee is not bad. The prawn is quite big and the ingredients definitely fresh.

I did not particularly like the Seafood Hor Fun. It’s actually Cantonese Mee with slices of abalone and prawns. But i find it rather overly bland to the point of tasteless.


Lotus Leaf Rice

The Lotus Leaf Rice is my favorite of the day. Not only is it not too oily, the ingredients comes in plenty and the glutinous rice is very tasty and piquant.

You know some times you feel that your mouth is so oily after eating gluttonous rice like this and after a few bites you can’t stand to have it anymore? Well, here i can eat the entire plate of Lotus Leaf Rice without feeling queasy.


Chrysanthemum tea

I love the fact that there are also a variety of herbal and healthy drinks to choose from the menu.

We had Chrysanthemum, lemon and longan drink and apple cider with vinegar drink to help digestion.


Vinegar drink

Also on the menu are few types of herbal soups that looked really tempting. I have no doubt that it will be delicious. Next stop will be for the soup!



Sang Har Mee – RM18.00
Lotus Leaf Rice – RM10.00
Seafood Hor Fun – RM12.00
Chrysanthemum Tea x 2 – RM5.00
Vinegar drink – RM5.00
Lemon and longan – RM5.00

Total: RM60.50 inclusive 5% service charge and 5% gov tax

Kedai Makanan Teochew – Porridge Restaurant

Filed Under (Chinese Cuisine, Food in Kuala Lumpur, Food in Malaysia, Food in Pudu, Non Halal, Teochew Cuisine) by kuanfoodfetish on 25-08-2010

Here is the Kedai Makanan Teochew or better known as Porridge Restaurant that opens till the wee hours of the morning.

Located at Pudu, the boyfriend had visited the shop at 4am after a long hour of OT at work. Even at that early there were many customers enjoying the yummy porridge. Well, it is good for business when there are clubs nearby and right above the shop is a “dodgy motel” according to the boyfriend LOL.

It’s actually been around for ages and was once quite popular, now there aren’t as many patrons in the daytime but still many frequents it at night.



We were in town that weekend (i had to make an errand at KLCC) and we were feeling peckish.

I suggested we have porridge since we were in the vicinity. It’d just opposite the now demolished Pudu Jail.



The shop is the average Chinese coffee shop; narrow and with a few tables but you can sit at the table at the neighboring coffee shop (the shops are connected within).

They serves rice or the watery Teochew porridge with a variety of side dishes mostly made up of braised meats and pickled vegetable which are laid out in trays near the entrance .



We had a difficult time choosing the dishes. In the end we settled with our familiar favorites. :)

Braised peanuts! I must have peanuts with porridge. Always.



Minced pork with preserved radishes (choy pou). Yum!



The boyfriend’s fav, braised pig intestines.



Preserved mustard cabbage (mui choy).



I wanted to get salted eggs but unfortunately there were none. I think they ran out of those.

Overall, we had a satisfying meal and the side dishes definitely complement the watery porridge. Not the best one i’ve had but it was good nevertheless. Everything cost us RM20.00 inclusive of 2 glass of cincau (grass jelly with syrup drink).

Mr. Siew Bao is available at the Lot 10 Hutong Gourmet Heritage Village (the food court). Also at Sunway Pyramid and now in Plaza Mont Kiara as well. The canary yellow themed outlet selling fresh pastry and treats is hard to miss.



Mr Siew Bao is famous for (yes you’ve got that right!) siew bao which the recipe originates from the famous Kee Mei Siew Pao from Seremban. If you have tried the original Seremban siew bao then you would know how good this is.

Crispy on the outside and totally delicious!

Also available are other delicacies like egg tarts, lou poh peng, yam cakes and winter melon biscuits.

It was a nice morning in town. It’s a miracle that we were up so early (it’s barely 9.30am) being it a Saturday morning! Weekends are usually reserved for sleep ins till late noon.

That particular morning i had an appointment at the dermatologist with Dr. Ting. There were already a crowd in the clinic so after i took my number from the nurse we went out for breakfast.


Restoran Win Heng Seng

I don’t know why i have not noticed this before but right opposite from the clinic is Restoran Win Heng Seng. All these while we were visiting the dermatologist, we failed to notice there was hawker food available on the opposite road.

The coffee shop was already crowded with customers enjoying breakfast. We found a table and ordered.


Sai Dou Hor Fun

It’s been some time since we had breakfast so early in the morning. It was great.

The food here is rather good and very affordable. I forgot the price but i think the Sai Dou Hor Fun and Chee Cheong Fun we had was around RM5.00 or less each.


Chee Cheong Fun

And yes! I had milo kosong, my favorite thing to drink for breakfast at Chinese coffee shops. Yum!


Milo Kosong

I found out later that this particular shop was known as Restoran Weng Hing before they renovated last year) is rather popular and have large amount of followers. They even have a facebook account!

Apparently, the mini egg tart available here is a must have.

Just look at the queue.


Queuing for mini egg tarts

While i was enjoying my hor fun, the boyfriend asked me if i wanted egg tarts. I asked him whether it was any good here and he replied “I don’t know but look behind you… the queue so long means it must be darn good lar”.

Unfortunately, we were too full by the time we were done with our food (we don’t eat a lot in the morning). Next time, i’ll be sure to try the egg tarts!
