Kiat Seng Restaurant, Puchong

We were supposed to have dinner in KL..but due to some delay, it was late and my dad dont like late dinners.

So a switch of plan and we were at a restaurant nearby.

Since bro and shirley has been here a few times, they did the ordering..

The homemade tau foo with seafood (RM16)

The thick slab of tau foo was at the base of the claypot. The top was filled with seafood and chopped vegetables. The homemade tau foo was quite solid but smooth, the seafood sauce was light- pretty satisfying in a simple way.

The herbal kampung chicken(RM25)

Very tender chicken with light herbal sauce. By now, I noticed that Kiat Seng serves food that's less salty, which I feel is good. The chicken was quite tasty, but the sauce was rather starchy.

The star at Kiat Seng, the house special steamed tilapia (RM26)

The steamed tilipia was topped with generus amount of preserved vegetables (choy poh) and fried shallots. The combo goes well with the steamed fish (slightly oversteamed though), an interesting yet delicious match.

But the winner to me, was the hong xiu pork (RM18)

When I saw the rather garish red, I thought this will not be a nice dish. The redness of the sauce aside, the braised pork was excellent- the fat melts immediately, the meat was fork tender and had absorbed all the marination. A terrific braised pork indeed.

And to balance the high protein diet, we had a plate of fu yu yau mak (RM12)

Fresh, sweet yau mak with fragrant fu yu and bits of chilli padi. Nice.

Kiat Seng Restaurant is located at 19, Jalan Puteri 4/1, Bandar Puteri, 47100, Puchong. Located next to a few seafood restaurants. Kiat Seng also serves quite a number of seafood (crabs) dishes, guess that would be another meal..

驿站, Tanjong Pagar MRT Station, Singapore

Ok, I should have posted the restaurant name in English, but I cant seem to find any English name for the eatery...Maybe there's none?

Anyways, another quick lunch near my Singapore office and we came across a small eating area at Tanjong Pagar MRT station. This taiwanese eatery seems rather tempting, at least it smells good.

We were quickly seated and ordering was prompt...

Decided to share the "Ah Ma" pancake (SGD3)

It's dough pancake with loads of shredded vegetables such as carrots, beansprouts, spring onions and a sprinkling of dried shrimps. Have it warm and smear it with some sambal, this is pretty tasty..

ES, Ian and Al had the Ru Rou (braised pork) rice (SGD5.80)

Looks great, the pork was braised until tender and it literally melts in the mouth. The sauce was fragrant with chinese herbs, slightly gelatinous from the fats from the pork.. Sinful, but delicious nonetheless. Served with beancurd and egg which was also braised and fully absorbed the flavours of the sauce.

I had the Taiwan Kong Rou rice (SGD5.80)Basically the same as the Ru Rou rice, instead of thick sliced pork, I got julienned pork which was also braised in the same addictive sauce. Mixed with the rice..the blend of melted pork and fat and warm rice was just heavenly. Very scrumptious.

Had some snacks..

Teriyaki chicken and teriyaki pork stick (SGD1.50 each)

The meat was quite tender but I find the marination lacking. Something like teriyaki sauce with salt and chili powder.
