HK Sheng Kee Dessert Midvalley

Tong Yuen (Glutinous Rice Balls) in Ginger Syrup at MYR 6.90++ (10% service charge and 6% GST making it MYR 8.05 nett). The Ginger Syrup is quite concentrated so it is sweet with a strong taste of ginger which is peppery (la - 辣).

Honey Chrysanthemum drink (Hot) at MYR 6.90++ (MYR 8.05 nett). They put a lot of honey in this drink so it is on the sweeter side but honey is supposed to be good for health and with this price I would expect them to put in more honey.

I notice that the drinks from this eatery is quite concentrated so I am wary about ordering those sweet drinks. Will stick to hot chinese tea next time.

Initially I ordered HK chee cheong fun (flat rice noodles) with prawns but was told that since this is their 2nd day of business, the HK chee cheong fun device is not available yet.

My order: Wanton soup at MYR 15.90++ (MYR 18.55 nett). There are 6 wanton dumplings in this soup so that means it is about MYR 3.10 for 1 wanton, about the price of a piece of sushi but each wanton contains one whole prawn so I guess it is somewhat worth it. The prawns taste fresh too. Next time I will take a photo of the cross section of the wanton to show the whole prawn in it.

My spouse's order: Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy (Preserved vegetable) Rice - MYR 16.90++ (MYR 19.70 nett). The rice is very sticky and soft which I like. The gelatinous fats of the pork belly just melt in the mouth but could be quite cloying too so my spouse could not finish it and I had to help him with one quarter of this dish. Of course I try to remove as much fats as I could before eating the pork belly and I could feel pork belly lovers shaking their heads at me as they read this.

Loh Mai Kai (Glutinous Rice with Chicken) at MYR 7.90++ (MYR 9.20 nett). I looked at the receipt again and saw the words "3 treasures" but I did not take much notice of the ingredients so I am not quite sure what those 3 items are though I could make a guess that they are salted egg yolk, waxed sausage and mushroom perhaps. I will order this again and take note of the 3 treasures. 

Total bill for 2 pax is MYR 63.55 nett. They opened for business on 28 April 2018 (Saturday) so we were there on day 2. Business looks good with the seats fully occupied. Compared to the branches in One Utama and MyTown, this eatery is quite small and the seats are placed very near to each other making the place feels cramped.

Hong Kong Sheng Kee Dessert at Midvalley Mall is located where Rasa Utara used to be.

2nd day of opening with flowers.

As can be seen from the photo above, the dining area is quite small.

Snacks to Wait

While waiting today, I supposed we could have some snacks if we are done and are waiting for others to be done.

Normal price: NTD 72 per pack (about MYR 9.65 - exchange rate of MYR 13.4 for NTD 100). Special Promo Price: 2 packs for NTD 99 (about MYR 13.25 nett) so two packs it is.

Kwong Wah PJ Sec 17

After reading this news article about ABC in Jan 2018, we finally made it there recently. ABC on the left and Cendol on the right. MYR 5.50 nett each.

Add on another cendol without any "gula melaka" (coconut palm sugar) because the previous two bowls of ice were too sweet for us. So we mix them together to lessen the sweetness. We will visit here to eat these ice again.

Prepacked mee siam - MYR 3 nett.

Yam Cake - MYR 2.80 nett.

Seri muka and kuih talam.

Top (Left to Right): Bingka Ubi, Pulut Panggang. Bottom (Left to Right): Jicama (Yam Bean) Dumpling, Angku

The Jicama is cut thickly and the skin of the dumpling is thick and soft.

The glutinous rice of the pulut panggang is soft and chewy. The coconut filling is more sweet than spicy.

The angku is filled with a lot of mung bean paste.

Each packet of kuih costs MYR 2.80 nett for all the kuihs. The Cendol without sugar is printed on another receipt.

The glass cabinet with all the kuih and buns. The ice bowls are prepared in the small stall in front of this eatery.

From one shop lot, they have now expanded to two shop lots to accommodate more seats.

It used to be just the shop lot on the left with the ice stall in front. Lucky for us, with another shop lot there are more seats available without having to queue and wait for seats. Happy Mansion at PJ now has many nice eateries. I have been to three: Frame Thai, Food Foundry, Butter and Beans.

Lambogi Not Lamborghini

After reading PH's post about the delicious lamb, I quickly "ajak" my friend who likes to eat lamb too to check out the place. The above is what we ordered. We kept half of each dish for dinner. The lamb was tender and tasty just like PH has described it to be. A big thank you to PH for introducing this place.

When I reached home, my friend called me and told me that she read PH's post again and noticed that there are some vegetables on PH's plate but not on ours. Hahahaha, what a joke - all they gave us was a single slice of raw carrot on one plate and a single slice of raw cucumber on the other plate. Anyway we did not mind it at all because we were there for the lamb after all.

There are other lamb dishes on the menu as below (prices are in MYR) and we have tried two so we will go again to try the rest:

Lamb Mandy Rice 19.9

Lamb Kabsa Rice 18.9

Lamb Madggod Rice 19.9

Lamb Haneeth Kabsa Rice 19.9

Maqlubah Lamb Rice 24.5

Lamb Kabsa rice at MYR 18.90 nett and Lamb Madggod rice at MYR 19.90 nett.

Storefront. I hope this eatery will be here longer because the lamb is delicious and affordable. We were there about 1 pm on a Sunday and we were the only two customers there. Hopefully they will get more customers during dinner time and during weekdays.

Lunch sets. I like that they offer Milo Ice as one of the free drinks but no lamb dishes so not going for these lunch sets.

For celebrations, I think their Family Set is worth it. About MYR 21 to MYR 26 per pax.

Eat from Wok

To save on washing too many items, just eat direct from the wok: instant noodles with napa cabbage and 2 pieces of roasted duck breast meat = tasty and quick!

WG Nutritious soup

A bowl of black bean chicken soup for MYR 5 nett. Sold by one of the stalls at a food court in an office building.

Fav Beef Mee

Then in the evening around 4 pm, we went to Yong Kang Beef Noodle (永康牛肉麵) for my favourite beef noodles. Since we were still a bit full, all the food that we ordered are for sharing. A bowl of plain noodle in just the broth and nothing else for NTD 120 (MYR 16.10 at the exchange rate of NTD 100 - MYR 13.40).

A bowl of beef shank and tendons without the noodles for NTD 240 (MYR 32.15). There are about 5 pieces of beef shank meat and 4 pieces of tendon.

Just look at the tendon like tissues in between the meat. They are so tender that they just melt in the mouth.

Since I can't get to them now, just looking at the glistening tendon parts is enough to feel them melting in my mouth.

My must-order - 粉蒸排骨- Rice powder steamed pork ribs - slightly spicy. The pork ribs are coated with rice and steamed - very tasty! NTD 120 (MYR 16.10). There is a version with big intestines instead of pork ribs which is said to be even tastier but I don't dare to try.

Under the pork ribs are these soft sweet potatoes. Total bill for 2 pax is NTD 480 (MYR 64.30) and we did not need to eat dinner after all the meals we had for this one day in Taipei.
