Chinese Food @ Restaurant Beaufort - Taman Land Breeze





One of my favourite restaurants in KK, I've been following this place around town since the fire that gutted the shop on Jalan Penampang, hopefully now, fingers crossed it has a fixed location! The new restaurant is big, bright and spotlessly clean with helpful, friendly staff. With the added bonus of an English menu I can happily order to my hearts content! Sweet & Sour Fish took my fancy and it came packed with fresh fish and vegetables, including red and green peppers, onion, cucumber and red chilli for a bit of heat, served with nasi putih, yum!
 

The Little Nibbler opted for dry style Beaufort Noodles with Seafood, the noodles were savoury and fried with fresh fish slice, prawns and squid as well as a little green veggie, excellent, though it has to be said we both do prefer the wet style variety.
 

We also ordered the Char Siu Omelette, pretty self explanatory, with added onions and chives, I really enjoyed this.
 

Restaurant Beaufort is now located literally around the corner from its original shop on Jalan Penampang, and is now in Taman Land Breeze.
 



The Bill : 1x Sweet & Sour Fish, 1x Dry Seafood Noodles, 1x Char Siu Omelette, 2x Chinese Teh Ping = 27 MYR

Restaurant Beaufort never lets me down!

Chinese Food @ New Diamond Restoran - Foh Sang


Another great meal ticked up to the fine chefs of New Diamond Restoran. With certain trepidation I opted for tofu with minced pork and rice, trepidation because my last encounter with this dish at a different establishment was simply disasterous! Thankfully I had no such worries here, it was fantastic! Silky smooth tofu fried with minced pork, mushroom, onion and carrot in a savoury sauce that went perfectly with rice. Yummy!
 

The Little Nibbler enjoyed these Hokkien Noodles so much last time that it had to be tonight's pick too! Thick, almost square noodles, stir fried with chicken, pork and prawn in a thick savoury soy sauce. Big thumbs up!


 Diamond is located next to Pick N Pay's branch at Foh Sang.
 



The Bill : 1x Tofu Rice, 1x Hokkien Noodles, 1x Pot Chinese Teh Ping, 2x Tidbits, 2x Towels = 16.30 MYR

Diamond is fast becoming a firm favourite with us in KK's vast dining scene!

Chinese Food @ Restaurant Happy - Foh Sang


We headed out tonight to Foh Sang to try Restaurant Happy's newer branch. Inside it's bright, clean and colourful pretty much the same as the original Kingfisher branch. We ordered sweet & sour pork, stir fried sweet potato leaves, rice and drinks. The sweet & sour pork was pretty standard, meaty chunks in batter with onion, tomato, cucumber and peppers in a gloopy sauce.


I really enjoyed the sweet potato leaves stir fried in garlic, the deep green colour of the veggies makes me believe I'm being healthy!
 

Restaurant Happy is located in Foh Sang, next door to Kedai Kopi Daily.
 


The Bill : 1x Sweet & Sour Pork, 1x Sweet Potato Leaves, 2x Nasi Putih, 1x Ice Lemon Tea, 1x Water = 26.70 MYR

Good, honest Chinese food @ Restaurant Happy, look out for the great value 7 ringgit rice plates!

Chinese Food @ Restaurant Beaufort 88 - Marketplace 88


I love it when we find a great new restaurant, well, new to us anyway. This was definitely the case with Restaurant Beaufort 88. We've been past it a few times before and it always looked busy, so tonight The Little Nibbler suggested we should give it a go. Good work Nibbler!!! With a friendly waitress highlighting a few items, I went for one of her suggestions of fried choy sum with pork. This was simple and delicious, healthy greens stir fried with tender pork.


The Nibbler wanted to try an omelette so we opted for the prawn with fried egg, juicy prawns with fluffy eggs. Yum!

Another pick by The Nibbler of kon lau mee with char siu. Another great choice! This was really quite different to any other kon lau mee we've eaten before, the sauce was quite herbal in taste and the char siu was extremely lean, a great dish!

Restaurant Beaufort 88 is located at Marketplace 88, just off Jalan Pintas.



The Bill : 1x Fried Choy Sum, 1x Prawn Omelette, 1x Kon Lau Mee, 2x Nasi Putih, 1x Teh C Ping, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 26.70 MYR

Looking forward to my return visit already!

Chinese Food & New Diamond Restoran - Foh Sang


New Diamond Restoran is a deservedly popular chinese restaurant, it's usually packed to the rafters most evenings! Every time I've eaten here the food has been superb, tonight was no exception. First up, I picked Yung Chow fried rice, mixed veg, egg and pork, fried with rice. At last a fried rice worth eating! No stodgy rice here, fried rice as fried rice should be!!!


The Little Nibbler picked Hokkien noodles, thick noodles drenched in a savoury sauce with pork and cabbage. These noodles got the seal of approval all round!


Next up we had Sayur Manis fried with egg which is fast becoming a firm favourite with us. This was ok, not quite as good as some others we've had, no complaints really.


Pickles and peanuts along with a pot of chinese tea appear on your table as your seated, the first time I came here I thought they were free, but no such luck! Haha. The same can be said for the wet towels that magically appear stealth like from nowhere!!!


Diamond is located next door to Pick N Pay in Foh Sang.



The Bill : 1x Yung Chow Fried Rice, 1x Hokkien Noodles, 1x Sayur Manis, 1x Pickles/Peanuts, 1x Pot Chinese Tea, 2x Wet Towel = 25.80 MYR

Diamond is fantastic!!!

Chinese Food @ How Lee Coffee Shop - Foh Sang


Usually when we can't decide which restaurant or kedai kopi to go to, we decide on an area and then have a wonder around, check out where's busy and what looks good. Every time we go to Foh Sang, How Lee Coffee Shop is always packed! So if the good people of KK think it's worth a visit then who are we to disagree!!! Luckily there was a table spare so we sat down and a helpful waiter took our order, the menu's on the wall...and...well... my Mandarin isn't quite what it should be so the waiter gave us a hand. I decided on Sweet & Sour Fish Slice with rice. Meaty, fresh, fish slices, lightly battered and fried with onion, pepper, tomato, and cucumber in a tangy sauce. Yummy!


The Little Nibbler had the Kon Lau Mee, which looked to be the coffee shop speciality along with porridge, as everyone seemed to have these orders on their table. Noodles came with chicken, pork, meatball and choy sum. The dish was seasoned with pepper, which The Nibbler wasn't over the moon about but I thought they tasted great!


We also had an order of Sayur Manis with Egg, this was really tasty.


How Lee Coffee Shop is located in Foh Sang opposite Ron's Kopitiam.



The Bill : 1x Sweet & Sour Fish, 1x Kon Lau Mee, 2x Chinese Teh Ping = 24.50 MYR

How Lee, another great reason to head to Foh Sang!

Chinese Food @ Ang's - Downtown


You know just by looking at the crowds inside and out, that Ang's is just going to be good, and it is! It rarely disappoints, though tonight there was one grumble, but more of that later. My pick tonight was the Sweet and Sour Fish Slice, delicious. Meaty slices of fish with a tangy sweet and sour sauce with onions and pineapple. 


The Little Nibbler opted for Braised Beancurd with Minced Meat, this came in a thick, savoury sauce with mushrooms and chinese chives, really tasty. There's also a choice between local beancurd and Japanese, this is the local variety.


This was the only let down of the night, the fried rice was way too stodgy, possibly from not letting the rice cool down enough before stir frying. Only cold rice will produce a good fried rice!


Ang's is open and busy, lunch and dinner! Located Downtown on the same block as Little Italy.



The Bill : 1x Sweet And Sour Fish, 1x Braised Beancurd, 1x Fried Rice, 2x Chinese Teh Ping = 28 MYR

You may have to wait, but it's worth it!
