LOVE LIFE, CHERISH MOMENTS

   I've always known Klang as the BKT Haven, maybe cheap chinese food, but never strikes me as a cafe place, until i found out about this lovely hide out in the center of Klang, called C U Latte. I'm not sure it i was supposed to pronounced the cafe name as 'see you later', but i guess that's for you to find out. Anyway, today's write up is all about C U Latte in Bandar Baru Klang. I recently discovered this little cafe by accident, when i visited the KPJ Hospital nearby. I was hungry for some good breakfast set and this cafe was exactly the thing i needed the most at the moment.


    Located at the business district of Bandar Baru Klang, C U Latte can be easily found at the end of the road. This is also the only cafe i know in Klang that not only makes their own coffee, but also took the extra miles to roast their own coffee beans. Owner Cheong Foh is also one of the many well known coffee makers in Malaysia. From all these information, i was quite convinced that the coffee here would not disappoint.

Breakfast Set Menu (8.30am-10am Daily)

     We were just in time to grab their value for money breakfast set. My mom and i got the Classic Local Breakfast Set and Tuna Sandwich Set. Each sets differs in prices but all comes with a complimentary coffee of either long black or Klang Coffee. According to the boss (i supposed), Klang Coffee is something similar to local Kopi-O, self-roasted by the cafe, with addition of butter and sugar for extra richness. You can always upgrade your breakfast set to different breads and milk based coffee, with extra charges.

Long Black

Add-on Cappucino--RM 2

Local Breakfast Set--RM 7.50 Toasts served with homemade kaya (coconut jam) and butter, with 2 soft-boiled eggs.

Tuna Sandwich Set--RM 12 Tuna spread sandwiched in between muesli bread and served with salad.

   Firstly, i have to admit, these breakfast sets were not only value for money, but tasted delicious as well. The local breakfast set's kaya was the favourite part of the dish. They are generous with the serving and i just adore how fragrant and smooth was the kaya spread. Tuna sandwich was well done too, with the addition of celery and onion, giving the tuna spread a better consistency. Both of our long black and cappucino were amazing as well. The coffee was almost medium-dark-roasted. It was bitter but fruity at the same time. Cappucino was smooth and delicate. Overall, a pleasant dining experience here.

   I would strongly recommend the neighbourhood folks to give this a try for their wonderful coffee, delicious food and excellent service. I have personally returned a few times for their coffee and it was worth it. Hope you enjoyed this post, have a wonderful week ahead!

   It's the time of the year again, when Malaysia is pouring almost everyday and all the time! I was like freezing in my room while outside is raining cats and dogs again. It makes me crave for something warm and soupy just to beat the humidity and chill outside. My first choice would be a bowl of warm BAH KUT TEH! Anyway, today i am going to share with you guys about this very famous local Bah Kut Teh restaurant in Pandamaran, Klang. In the city who claimed its fame from bah kut teh, one has got to have some unique selling point in order to survive the fierce competition. For Yap Beng, they pride for their finger lickin' good 'dry' bah kut teh.


   Just a small note, the 'dry' bah kut teh is a dark soy base stir fried pork with dried chilies, salted fish and other herbs. Unlike the usual one, this dry version of bah kut teh has more intense flavor and thicker in consistency. It is quite common in the Klang Valley area, but i find Yap Beng's one is the best among all. Located in the housing area of Pandamaran, Klang, it is a bit difficult to spot especially for non-locals. Fret not, i'll link an address below, in the end of this post. For the day, we ordered a wet and dry Bah Kut Teh each, with stir-fried vegetable and a Gong-Poh style shark fish.

The famous dry BKT--RM 11 per pax

Wet BKT--RM 10.50 per pax

2 pax portion

Gong-Poh style shark fish--RM 14

Stir-fried vegetables--RM 8

   Both BKT did not disappoint. I personally prefer the dry one because of the rich and intense flavors. The sauce was the bomb of the dish, it was incredibly fragrant, rich and smooth with a tinge of spiciness from the dried chilli. The pork was perfectly cooked, and melt-in-your-mouth kind of soft. I would prefer not to have the salted fish inside. Other than that, the shark fish was also another star of the meal. I like how they master the cooking time, just nice not to over or under cook it, preserving the freshness of the sea creature.

   For those had yet to try out dry BKT, please feel free to drop by at this humble hut for a mind-blowing meal. It costs around RM 18 per person, depending on what you order. Peak hours are usually packed with hungry crowd and parking could be troublesome. Otherwise, this is another great find i discovered in Klang. Hope you enjoyed it, xoxo.

   As i true Penangnite, born and raised in the land of hawker food, how could i not be a fan of street food? I basically grew up, eating hawker food from breakfast to dinner and everything in between. There are so many reasons why i adore these food. I absolutely love the diversity, the authentic flavors and most importantly, the culture and stories behind each food item and the people who made them. Although it has been almost 3 years since i moved into the city of sky scrappers, i have never forgotten my roots and my love for Penang's hawker food. As disappointing as it sounds, there are not many places that serve local food that is up to my Penangnite's taste buds. So much so that i have even lost faith in even wanting to try them. However, today i am going to share with you some of the new found hawker food that is amazingly delicious and Penangnite-approved! Enjoy!

1. Fatty Mee Hoon Kuih, Berkely's Garden



   After scouting around in the old city of Klang, me and my family found this family-business-based restaurant that specialised in making their famous' Mee Hoon Kuih. For your information, 'Mee Hoon Kuih' is actually a similar version of 'pan mee'. It is made of simplest ingredients like flour, eggs and water, kneaded and cooked under a high heat of boiling water. It is served together with soup or dry (dark soy sauce), anchovies, pork fillets, 'sayur manis', fried onion and more. The star here is definitely the soup, prepared from boiling pork bones and anchovies as well as the 'mee hoon kuih' itself, kind of like the Asian pasta.


   So what's so special about the mee hoon kuih here? Well, we are about to find out. We ordered each a bowl of mee hoon kuih and also a cup of honey lemon and herbal jelly to quench the summer thirst. Only in Klang, you can get an extra large portion of noodle with an astonishing affordable price like RM 4.50!

Mee Hoon Kuih--RM 3.50

thin and perfectly cooked 'Asian pasta'

    For me, a bowl of perfectly done 'Mee Hoon Kuih' must possess a few qualities such as flavorsome soup, perfectly cooked mee hoon kuih of the right thickness, not too thin or too thick, fresh and succulent pork and crunchy anchovies is a must too. This bowl of 'Mee Hoon Kuih' totally works for me. My favourite part was the thinly prepared 'mee hoon kuih'. To make things better, they even included pork's liver to sweeten up the whole dish. Simple yet wonderfully made.

The super busy cooking team!

   The crowd definitely proves that Sun Ming is really something to look forward to. Both of us ordered a platter of roasted duck, char siew (barbecued pork) and siew yuk (roasted pork belly) as our main, together with a bowl of pickled vegetable soup and rice to go with.

Meal of the day

   Well, what could i say? The photos are self explanatory right? I truly enjoyed the meat platter of the day. The roasted duck was crispy on the skin and tender on the meat. It is good but not great, i have tasted better ones elsewhere. However, the char siew and siew yuk did not disappoint at all. The siew yuk has an amazing crunchy top with absolutely succulent and moist fusion of the belly's fat and protein. Lastly, the star of the day has got to be the melt-in-your-mouth char siew. The one we chosen was lean meat, yet it was so skillfully made, to the point that the fat simply melt in the warm temperature of the tongue, dissolving all the wonderful flavors of the meat at the same time. This is a dish to die for!
