Sun Yin Loong, Sunway Mas

In PJ, there's 2 Sun Yin Loong that's located within a rather close vicinity..one at Sunway Mas Commercial Centre, and the other at Kota Damansara. Both branches enjoys good business, it's always packed especially on weekends.
But both SYL sells different hawker fare, and the branch in Sunway Mas, even though is a smaller outlet, does draw it's crowd with some popular hawker grubs.
The most popular dish, I'd say, is the curry laksa.
Nearly every table has a bowl, you can see the patrons in deep concentration, slurping their noodles :p. I'm never a big fan of curry noodles/ curry laksa, but I must admit that the curry laksa here is pretty tasty. I'm not fond of thick, santan rich curry soup base, and this version is rather light, yet managed to retain the nice aroma of curry. Not the best, but decent ;)
The yam cake and pan fried carrot cake for in between nibbles. The yam cake was nice, it had huge chunks of yam in it, tasted good with the fried condiments. I didnt like the pan fried carrot cake though.
The pan mee...
Was just average. The noodles were rather thick and slightly chewy. Very generous with ingredients though. Not sure if the soup version would fare better, though I did hear from a friend that the soup version is good as they use good quality stock.
Sun Yin Loong is located at Jalan PJU 1/3G (corner shop), Sunway Mas Commercial Centre, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Curry Noodles, Segambut

Jane told me that there's a very popular curry noodles in Taman Sri Sinar and one unexpectedly visit to a friend staying nearby led us to this place.
The shop just opened for dinner- it does dinner only and I was rather surprised that at 5 plus in the afternoon and there were patrons already. Yes, we were passing by and it's way too early for dinner, but since this was recommended, I might as well try it :p
Ordering was easy, I had the curry noodles though there were other noodles available too (such as clear soup and prawn noodles)

The piping hot bowl of noodles was served in a matter of minutes..
Their curry noodles was served in a thin curry soup and topped with a few spoons of thick curry 'sauce'. Stir in a generous amount of sambal and the curry noodles was very addictive. The bowl was laden with bean curd puffs, fish cakes, bloodied cockles, fishballs and beansprouts. The ingredients were very fresh and complemented the curry soup well.
Honestly, I thought I wont enjoy the curry noodles; it was such a hot day, the ventilation in the shop was not that good and it was stuffy sitting in there. And the idea of slurping down spicy, hot curry noodles dont really add to a happy eating experience. Although this curry noodles was not mind blowingly good, it somehow was able to satiate and please us.

There's no sign board to this shop, this is how it looks like..
The best landmark I could find was this Wisma located just a few shops away..
Curry noodles shop is located at Jalan 20/38A, Taman Sri Sinar, Segambut, KL.

Kemaman Curry Mee, Chukai

Let's have kemaman curry mee for breakfast!, KH said with a twinkle in his eyes..
But I dont take creamy, santan-ish stuff for breakfast! I wailed..my stomache always does a somersault if my breakfast consists of spicy, creamy soup..
Bubbly Alicia's eyes widen as her tolerance for spicy food was pretty low..
Trust me, trust me, kemaman curry mee is very different! KH excitedly exclaimed while shoving us into the car..
After 5 mins, we're there. Should have walked instead....
KH placed the order while we waited patiently.....
There was nothing in the noodles that hinted curry, infact I thought the noodles looked more like prawn mee. The broth was rather clear, with a slight tinge of red, served with a dollop of sambal on the noodles. Laden with beansprouts and kangkung (water morning glory), the noodles was supposed to be eaten with boiled kampung fish, sambal and keropok ikan (fish crackers).The soup was sweet, not spicy and luckily, not fishy. Slurp it in with the noodles and fresh veg, this was quite good for breakfast afterall...:)
I was told that they will first cook the fish in the boiling pot of broth. After the fish is cooked and removed, the noodles and veg would be added into the boiling broth. The fish is served in a separate plate with a side of sambal. We were also given a pack of keropok ikan to add into the noodles.You can choose to dunk in the whole keropok, eat with the noodles when it's soggy/semi crunchy or you can dip the keropok into the broth and eat as a snack.
Again, this is another shop without a sign board..Took a picture of the shop instead
What Julianne thinks?
Original, simple and surprising
Kemaman curry mee is located in the heart of Chukai. Drive pass the Chukai (wet)market and fruit stalls, after the fruit stalls, you would see the bus station. The shop is next to it (further in)

Restoran Asia, Seremban

I went to Seremban a couple weeks ago to accompany SF to get her sari.. Desmond, a Serembanite (or is it Serembanian?) brought us to this shop that sells gorgeous saris. After SF did her purchase, Desmond decided to bring us to eat this famous curry noodles (supposely the locals would know this place) in Senawang.
Restoran Asia is more like a coffee shop, but only sell curry noodles and chap fan (another stall). You would know that the main attraction is the curry noodles as every table would have at least a bowl of the goodie :).
I must confess that I am never a fan of curry noodles. I find curry noodles too rich and heavy for lunch.. Anyways, since this is reputedly good, of coz die die I must try! We can have the basic curry noodles with our choice of noodles. Most of the patrons would add curry chicken to their noodles as it's more filling. Very quickly we got our steaming hot curry noodles and man, it does looks really good!
Even me, whose knowledge and interest on curry noodles are limited, can see that this is one yummy looking dish. The curry was thick, but not too santanish and very flavourful. The usual ingredients were there, the taupok (beancurd), cockles, lots of taugeh, curry chicken etc (their version is without char siew)..Everything just complements the other so well. And eat it with their shrimp chilli really completes the meal. I dont even feel jelak to the last mouthful of the noodles. I must say that this curry noodles is truly lipsmacking :). SF did point out that this is not the Penang version of curry noodles.. so if you only like the PG version, this may not be your cup-of-tea.. or shall I say, bowl of noodles? kekekeke
What Julianne thinks?
Delicious and satisfying
Restoran Asia is located at 341, Taman Senawang Jaya, Seremban. Sorry I cant provide more details, as I am rather lost at that area.. The proprietor said the shop is in the Senawang Industry, very near this huge factory called "Onn" (some Motorola factory). Tel: 06- 6770667.
