Kedah Asam Laksa, SS2/4 PJ | Two Big Eaters

This is a place for you to go if you are looking for some authentic teow chew and other local dishes at a very reasonable price on a hungry night.

You can always see a long queue at the stall, which normally can  take more than half an hour until your turn. After a few visits, we both have a consensus not to go there too late to avoid crowd. We normally go around 8pm, where we can enjoy our food slowly and have no worry that food will be sold out.


So, I will be introducing the food we loved to eat from this stall.


1. Asam Laksa
Asam Laksa
[Asam laksa (large) = RM 5.50]
Frankly, the laksa here is not really a fascinating dish I would say. However, I still order this asam laksa everytime I come here because I like the laksa noodles they use here. It is difficult to find this kind of rice made laksa at stalls because I do understand it takes very long to cook this from dry. You can definitely skip this if you are not a fans of rice made laksa noodle.


2. Mee Jawa
Mee Jawa
[Mee jawa = RM5.00]
Basically, the mee jawa they serve here is fine. I can't say it is stunning, but it is definitely good. Tasty soup base and crunchy crackers. Worth trying!


3. Teow chew mee diao

Teow Chew Mee Diao
[Mee diao = RM 2.20]
It literally means teow chew noodles and it is a plate of teow chew noodles being stir fried served with special green chili paste. You might say it is a boring dish, but I would say this is the simplicity you could hardly find in this big city. It was like a plate of fried noodles my grandma would do for me as breakfast on a very typical morning. The taste of home.



4. Teow chew chai kuih

Teow Chew Chai Kuih
[Chai Kuih = RM 0.80/piece]
Here come the best food from this stall and it is definitely the one reason why we keep coming back! We both loved this chai kuih so much and rated this as the No.1 chai kuih we had in klang valley.

They have it either with mang kuang (yam bean) or kucai (chives). I personally love the kucai chai kuih because of its unique aroma. Awww...

Let's forget about the contents because the real best part of the chai kuih is actually its thin and tender skin. The kucai and mang kuang fillings can be gleamingly seen under the translucent chai kuih skin. Sooo sexy.

We ordered up to 15 chai kuih and we could finish it on our own. If you come here and found no more chai kuih left, it's probably us eat too much before you. Haha!



5. Sweet black glutinous rice soup

[Sweet black glutinous rice soup = RM1.50]
They serve different dessert everyday and it happens to be pulut hitam on that day we visited.


That's all for the Kedah Asam Laksa at PJ! It is definitely worth coming for a authentic and very satisfying meal for 2 which cost less than RM25! I mean where else you can get such a meal with so many varieties of tasty food?


Business hour: 7.30pm to 11.30pm (except Sunday)

Restoran Sun Yin Loong, Aman Suria | Two big eaters

What's more exciting than having a decent breakfast to kick start your day?!

As a typical Malaysian, besides nasi lemak or roti canai, I guess curry mee would be another great choice of breakfast.

So here we are today at Restoran Sun Yin Loong, Aman Suria! I can always see crowd in the kopitiam when I pass by during weekends.

Always crowded during weekends.


Once, I saw someone who ordered a set of toast with a pairs of half-boiled eggs on it and I told Mr.Big eater, WE MUST COME TO TRY THE BREAKFAST HERE.

There are plenty choices of breakfast in this kopitiam. Around 10 individual stalls are serving different local foods such as char kuey teow, chee cheong fun, ban mee, curry mee, chicken rice, wantan mee, pork noodles and so on.

As a first timer, we randomly picked a few of our favourites.

1. Traditional butter toast + half boiled eggs

Toast with runny eggs from Restoran Sun Yin Loong is so good.
[Toast+half-boiled eggs+milk tea= RM6.00]

Although people go to kopitiam for good coffees, but we would skip this because we are really not fans of coffee. The milk tea is not bad anyway. I had my half-boiled eggs with sprinkles of pepper and drops of soy sauce. Yumm, that's so good it reminds me those days when my grandparents brought me out for breakfast. The toast is just perfect for me. It is not too dry as it absorbed the moisture of the runny eggs yet remains crispy at the edges.

 2. Curry mee with roasted pork
[Curry mee+roasted pork= RM7]
I can only say WOW to this curry mee. When I was ordering, the boss mentioned I need to wait for around 20mins. For me, this curry mee is worth waiting for because Mr.Big eater praised it! You know how fastidious a Penangnite's taste buds could be and when he said it is nice, you know it is nice. Ha!


3. Roasted chicken and char siew rice
[Roasted chicken+charsiew rice= RM6.50]

This chicken rice got its very first bad comment from Mr.Big eater for its very small portion. However, it never amaze us with its taste. It is not bad but I can say that it is a normal chicken rice you can find anywhere. If possible, let us introduce a good chicken rice in the town for next round!


4. Wantan mee

[Wantan mee= RM6]

This wantan mee is not even authentic but still acceptable I guess??

5. Rose apple

[Rose apple= RM2.00/pack]
So after all the heavy dishes, we decided to have something refreshing to end this satisfying meal. We get this from the fruit stall in the same kopitiam. It is very juicy and fresh. A good ending indeed.



There are still many foods that we haven't have chance to try out, but we somehow agreed that this is a good kopitiam to go for breakfast as it is not really easy to find a good one in KL. Anyway, we will definitely explore more in the future hoping to find a really good one eventually.
