I'd like to restart the gourmet series that we had in the "St Joe Class of 76" blog for our wider audience ... (apologies to our Muslim friends that this first item is non-halal)
Recently I was in KL and asked Pip to bring me back for the tastiest Tu Kar rice around the area (yeah, I've eaten at this place before, and it now features regularly in my gastronomic dreams !). Of course, I know that excessive tu kar isn't exactly best for one's health, but hey, you only live once... In fact I would put this on my list of "100 Things You Need to Eat Before You Die", my culinary Bucket List if you like.
Well, photo above shows Pip with the boss and wife. Although the sign says "Claypot Bak Kut Teh" and that dish is good, I really think their secret weapon is the "Tu Kar" so don't forget to order both.
Me with my first morsel of tu kar. Note the smile of gastronomic bliss ...
How to get there? Here are the directions from Pip: "The place is actually in Petaling Jaya. It's between Taman Megah and Taman Bahagia LRT station, about 100 yards from the main traffic lights which are under the LDP flyover. Specifically it's on Jalan SS 2/4A and the shop is behind another corner kopitiam that faces Jalan SS 4A/1."
For those who read Chinese, here's their business card with the boss' contact number.
Be sure to tell the boss you learnt about his place from the blog. You might not get a discount, but he may throw in a few extra morsels in the claypot :-)
If any of you guys and gals out there have a favourite foodie place that you'd like to share - and it can be anywhere in the world - just send me the details (preferably with photos), and I'll try to post it up for all to enjoy !
