Penang Chee Cheong Fun, Restaurant O & S

I have always preferred the Penang-styled chee cheong fun, compared to the curry chee cheong fun. However, it is pretty hard to find a chee cheong fun that is in Penang style in Selangor. Therefore, when I see this Penang chee cheong fun, I ordered it without hesitation.

It quite resembled the Penang's one with lots of shrimp paste, fried shallots and sesame seeds. However, there is a minor difference between the Penang's one and this one. The rice sheets for Penang's chee cheong fun are actually in rolls and you can ask to have them spreaded out. However, for the one from this stall, the rice sheets are actually in flat form already. Anyway, that is not important. The important thing is I get to eat Penang-styled chee cheong fun again, in Selangor.

Price :
RM 1.70 for small serving
RM 2.XX for big serving (Forgot the price already, :P)

Nasi Lemak Ayam, Sea Park

The Indomie Mamak Stall


The yummy Nasi Lemak Ayam


It was purely coincidence that I noticed this stall. One day, judging by the number of persons there and majority of them were having nasi lemak ayam, I decided to pay it a visit.

There's a saying that whenever you go to some new places, look around, the restaurants or stalls with lots of customers, that would be nice choices. I take heed of this valuable piece of advice and it got me right! It was a brilliant choice that I have made. :P


The Ayam - the fried chicken
It was coated with some spices which I have no idea of, but the spices gave nice aroma and taste. The chicken meat is tender, juicy and yet it's not oily, surprisingly to me.

The Nasi - the rice
The rice is soft, though not very lemak (or is it the plain white rice ar? :P), but it is good enough.

The Sambal - the chilli paste
Sambal is a condiment used in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the southern Philippines and Sri Lanka, as well as the Netherlands and in Suriname , made from a variety of peppers, although chili peppers are the most common. Sambal is used as a condiment or as a side dish, and is sometimes substituted for fresh chilis; it can be very hot for the uninitiated. It is available at exotic food markets or gourmet departments in supermarkets in numerous countries.
(Extracted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambal)

The sambal is not very spicy and it has mild sweetness. However, the overall taste of the sambal, complements the rice very much.

The Fried Egg
The sunny-sided up egg is half-done. Thus, the egg yolk texture is still there. Normally, I would prefer well-done fried egg. However, this one just fits in my appetite where the combination of the egg yolk and the sambal is wonderful. And the fried egg brighten my day, a sunny day! By the way, it is only available for dinner. :P Maybe a "sunny" night instead.

With the perfect rice + the perfect sambal + the perfect egg + the perfect fried chicken, they make the prefect Nasi Lemak Ayam!

Price :
RM 2.50 for Nasi Lemak Biasa
RM 4.50 for Nasi Lemak Ayam
RM 0.00 for Additional Sambal

Food Options:
Besides the signature Nasi Lemak Ayam, there are also other food available, such as Roti John, Maggi Goreng, etc. You can ask for the "menu" which would be spoken to you in a fast way. :P

Operation Hours:
At night only.

* For first-time visitors, you should really really try the fried chicken, it's superb!

Restaurant O & S

As penangnites, we have been searching around for a long time for a nice bowl of prawn mee and laksa in Klang Valley. Finally, thanks to Eric again, we found one stall that offers prawn mee that best resembles and tastes like an authentic Penang prawn mee. It is located in O & S Restaurant, Paramount Garden.

The O & S Restaurant


The Prawn Mee Stall


The Yummy Prawn Mee


This prawn mee is certainly one of the best that could be found in Selangor. The soup is lightly spiced and with generous fried shallots complementing it. The soup doesn't give any scent of the prawn stink as distinct from the rest of the prawn mee that I have tasted in Selangor. Besides, the noodles and mee hoon (rice vermicelli ) are cooked to perfect that they are not over-cooked.

The Famous Assam Laksa


This restaurant is famous for its laksa as well and some other food. This variation of Assam laksa offers generous serving of fish chunks, which I don't exactly like. The soup is a little yellowish and sour, not too thick nor too watery. The noodles in the soup is quite smooth, but it's just the average noodles like what most of the stalls offered. Overall, this laksa could be quite a good deal for what could be found in Selangor. However, I still prefer the northern Assam laksa where the fish chunks are perfectly blended into the soup and making the soup taste a little sweeter. Besides, there are also crispy prawn crackers served together with the laksa. In addition, the self-made laksa noodles give more texture which complement the soup well.

I have noticed a lot of people ordering the Yong Tau Foo in the restaurant, perhaps the restaurant is also famous for that. There are a lot of other food stalls in the restaurant. I have tried the banana fritters there and it's quite good actually, though I still prefer Tun Sambanthan's one. It's crispy and the batter is not too thick. It is also made of the whole banana, not like the one could be found from the Malay stalls along the roadside, where only half side of the banana is used. But, of course, using the whole banana would mean the price is more expensive, much more.
