Lap Mei Fan

You know Chinese New Year is near when eateries start to sell "waxed meat" rice. Basically "waxed meat" is salt cured meat, there are more to curing the meat that is beyond my knowledge so just google for it if you are interested.

The Zun Express at MidVally/Gardens is offering a "waxed meat" rice set meal for MYR19.80++ which includes the rice, a herbal soup (select from 3 choices), and a jelly dessert. We ordered one set to share.

"Waxed meat" rice - the rice is very soft and flavourful

A choice of herbal soup (select from 3 types)

Wolfberry Jelly dessert

Polo Buns - MYR2 each - must buy at least 2. There were 2 types,  chicken savoury or sweet custard fillings. I ordered one each to try.

MYR4 - I like both. The sweet custard fillings taste like kaya. Will definitely eat these Polo Buns again.

    I like the look of that waxed meat rice. Rice or glutinous?

    oh the Zun by Yee Yan Sang.. used to frequent this restaurant, to be exact, before their refurbishment last time.. love their glutinous rice, fish sauce fried beehoon and "mun fan".. though went back a couple of months and found food wasn't as nice but more expensive already.. maybe my taste has changed, haha!! :p

    Now that you mention this, lap mei fan is another thing that I have yet to come across a version that I like in Penang. The ones I tried here were all too salty to my liking. But then the Penangites said that is how a proper one is done..

      You're not missing anything here. In fact I forgot to top up, when the Penangites claim how it is done properly is when we start whacking each other again. Yeah right, "lap mei fan" is Cantonese dish, and Hokkiens are trying to teach Cantonese people (KL) how to properly do it, just like they claim wantan mee is originally from Penang. F off LOL!!

      Hahaha, you like to bicker with your Penang born friends on food. I never discuss food with my Penang born friends.

      I think so at Zun. This is not glutinous rice, just rice.

      If your friend likes lap mei fan, then should be good enough with the soup.

      Oo that one's nice. I recommend the gravy version. The soup version is too bland.
