Rating: 3/5
Did you know that there are people in Klang would have Bah Kut Teh as breakfast?? Essentially Bah Kut Teh is comprises of all the pork bone, ribs and other parts of pork body boiled in a claypot of herbal soup for hours till it is soft and tender. The natural flavour drawn from pork would infuse along with soup which emits a mild aromatic scent that entices the taste bud. For me, I would prefer to have it for dinner because it’s rather too heavy for me… Pao Xiang Bah Kut Teh have various selection of the preference on parts of pork, so you can look at their menu to see which you prefer or just ask recommendation from the staff!

This is definitely unlike the usual Bah Kut Teh I had before… I mean they focused on the string tied meat and not the soup… The string tied meat is not soaked in deep claypot of herbal soup, instead it is only soaked in a small amount of soup in a porcelain bowl on top of a candle to ensure the soup and meat is kept warm. Honestly, I still love the one in claypot because the soup is boiling hot and I love drinking the aromatic soup. However, the string tied meat was really good because all excess fats and oil is extracted via the string tied method!!! You know I hate fatty meat!!! So this meat is really great!!! In addition, the meat is so soft and tender….Incredible…

Price Range: RM 4.80 – RM 12.80 each (promo set: RM 7.90 for any 3 items + noodle)
Signature: Lam Mee & Royal Tea
Rating: 2/5

Judging by the look of it, it didn’t really appeal to me… However I went to try out a few of the yong tau foo like brinjal, bitter guard and fish ball. Not the best that I have tasted but in comparison to food court and to those in shopping mall with the price range, I think it is pretty decent.

Oh in case you are wondering what is yong tau foo, it is vegetable that is filled with fish paste and pan fried till cooked and served inside a bowl of clear soup. Usually I have it with rice or you can opt to have it with noodle. I read in other blog mentioning their U-Mien are really good… Unfortunately it is no longer available!

Lammeeya set to win your heart with healthy choice of Chinese food that taste like home cooked foodSoup boiled for hours, noodle soaked in the sweet broth or the famous dark eggy gravy and various Chinese dishes to go with white fluffy rice is what you can find in Lammeeya. This reminds me of my dear mom’s cooking back at home..So if you are out and about and miss home cooking, then you should really try this. Their Lam Mee & Royal Milk Tea are the must try. Lam Mee is comprised of yellow noodle soaked in a thick, smooth and eggy dark gravy often garnished with hard boiled egg, bean sprout, chicken strips and prawns.

Price Range: RM 6.90 – RM 7.90 each (each dish come with rice, vegetable, omelet & soup)
Signature: Hakka Braised Pork
Rating: 3/5

Initially by looking at the name, Food Box I thought it was another variant of Japanese bento box… Gosh, I was so wrong about it as a matter of fact, it is Asian Chinese dishes (with Hakka food influences) served with rice, omelet, vegetable and soup. I must say the price is such a great deal especially in shopping mall outside the food court! We tried the Hakka Braised Pork which i may add that it was braised till soft and tender. Absolutely delish. The only set back was tad salty but if you take it with white rice, it’s super awesome combo!

Beside this Hakka dish, you can also opt for other common Chinese dish like Sweet and Sour Fish, Braised Ginger Pork, Thai style chicken and many more. Oh not to forget, there are also noodles to choose from like the famous Asam Laksa or Curry Mee.

Rating: 4/5

Annyeonghaseyo !! Undeniable that I enjoy Korean Food but only limited to Korean Barbeque not kim chi nor the red spicy soup or stew because I don’t do well with spicy… I am sold when I first take a sip of the Soon Du Bu Ji Gae (Spicy Soft Tofu Stew). Though the name suggest tofu but in fact there is whole lot of seafood treasure in it!!! For someone who don’t take spicy red soup, I am giving this a thumb up.

Soon Du Bu Ji GaeSoon Du Bu Ji Gae (Spicy Soft Tofu Stew), RM 15.90

The Bibimbap on the other hand was alright because they use fried egg instead of raw egg so some marks were minus… Instead of using white rice, at Ko Hyang they serve healthy brown rice too which is used in making the Bibimbap.. The soup that came along with lots of egg floss was really good…I think they are really good at making soup!

Another highlight was O Jing Eo Bokem (Stir Fried Squid in Homemade Chili)! The big, thick and juicy squid fried with their special homemade chili and lots of cabbage… Mmmph good to go with fluffy white rice.

Signature: Olive Luxury Chicken (Fried Chicken), Hot Drum, Korean Charbroiled
Rating: 5/5

Don’t be deceive by the short form of the BBQ as we all fell for its name and curiosity arose on why the ads in the main entrance is fried chicken instead of barbeque chicken…  

BBQ stands for Best of the Best Quality! Started in Korea, they use 100% Olive Oil from Europe to fried their chicken and to prepare other food too, the first one in the world to do so! BBQ chicken is marinated with 30 types of natural spices for 12-15 hours…Their selling point is they NEVER use frozen chicken instead chilled chicken is used to ensure the freshness! They have mass selections from fried chicken to grilled chicken/ steak, sandwich, burger, pasta and pizza. I am sure there is something for everyone in BBQ!!!

The Olive Luxury Chicken (Fried Chicken) is as crispy as the one in KFC (spicy flavor), the only difference is less oily, fresh and tender meat and non spicy! While Sharon love the Charbroiled Chicken, I on the hand think it has too many fats…However the chicken is well marinated so it taste really good if the fats is removed.

I love this BBQ concept and the varieties they offered…Definitely coming back!

Now, shall we fly to Japan from Korea for some Ninja Affair??

Hai Yaaaaah!!!!!!!!!! Your pork burger is made upon order and will be ready in less than 5 minutes. The first Porky Fast Food chain store in Malaysia originated from Japan. Grilled pork patty layer with various of combination of bacon, egg, cheese, salad, mushroom just pick your desired burger from the menu. If you’re not a pork lover, chicken burger option is available too! This is a good place for those who want a quick meal!

Ninja Joe’s Lunch/ Dinner Set Menu

We sample the new Hikkori with BBQ sauce toping the grilled pork patties and pork bacon and finished with pickled and tomato slices. Being a BBQ sauce lover I must say this is very delicious however portion is rather small…Perhaps it is pork serving which might lead to higher cost, compared to regular chicken but the price is about three quarter of those in other burger chain (so does the size). So that’s price vs size is justified I guess!

Let me know if you have try Ninja Joe and which is your favourite!

Smoked Chicken BBQ Pizza is my new love… The sweet Vivo special BBQ sauce layering the entire dough filled with Chicken strips, fresh mushrooms, onions, red & green capsicums, black olives really delightful! Baked Chicken chop was rather normal for my liking…

Volcanic Chocolate with Ice Cream is a must order to complete your meal in Vivo… The molten chocolate oozing out from the cake is simple heart warming… Pair it with the freezing ice cream, best combination ever!!
