Wong Ah Wah Grilled Chicken Wings...this restaurant is located at Jalan Alor. Where is this place...this is a very well known food street which house restaurants and eateries for 24 hours.
As you enter Jalan Alor, you will be tempted to go into the stretch of restaurants with waiter and waitresses luring you into their own restaurants. This chicken wing restaurants is located pretty much far end.
I personally recommend this restaurant as it is very reasonable as compared to many restaurants in KL city. These are some of the dishes we ordered and we enjoyed them happily.
Grilled chicken wings
How can we not order the specialty from this place. I could understand why its the recommended dish right on the first page of the menu. This huge chicken wings are well marinated and best part not too salty. They are grilled to perfection having their skin crisp up, beautiful golden brown and yet very juicy meat on the inside. The wings are also glazed with a thin layer of syrup which adds on the crisp and the sweet taste to it.
It is so good on it own. This restaurant also serves them with their own secret recipe chilli sauce. Well, when this wings are taken with the sauce, the taste of the chicken wings were further enhanced. Indeed a very good dish as you can eat it just on its own or further enhanced with the sauce. Beautiful!!
Stir fried balitong (siput sedut/ spiral shells)
This is one chinese delicacy that requires you to get your hands dirty and to eat the shell meat, you are required to firstly suck them once from the end (tail) then another suck in front. Next, when the shell meat is out, you will have to remove the round piece stuck on the meat as that is like the shell little door. This is cook to perfection and not too rubbery. The disappointment would be that many of the shells were empty so it took so much of my energy sucking them but there is not meat in it. For adventurous backpackers who would like to visit this place, I dare you guys to try it. It would be fun to try something new and play with your food.
Sotong kangkung
(brown cuttlefish with water spinach drizzled with prawn paste sauce garnished with ground peanuts)
This has always been my favourite dish since I was young. It is a very simple dish yet the sauce is the trick of all. The last time I had this dish was when i was back in Ipoh (Perak) however the shop closed down and I never had such tasty dish until I tasted this. The kangkung (water spinach) was blanched with hot water and the doneness was perfect with a little vegetable crunch to it. Same goes to the sotong (brown cuttlefish). The sauce was a mixture of prawn paste, sweet bean paste (i m guessing black beans) with sugar, sesame oil, oyster sauce and of course coarse ground peanuts. This dish has to be mixed thoroughly before eating to get a balance of sauce,peanuts, sotong and the water spinach together.
Stir fried Lala in Kam hiong style
Lala is a type of local clam. Many shops and restaurants know how to cook this however the kam hiong sauce would varies among restaurants and the clam freshness would be questionable. Kam hiong is a type of chinese style sauce that has various sauces from black sauce...to oyster sauce...to soy sauce and the key ingredient is dried shrimps. This sauce would be use to cook with various type of meat from chicken,pork,beef, duck, deer meat and even seafood with curry leaves.
For this dish, the chef aced it because one: the clams were super fresh. It is not easy to get such fresh clams in KL city centre and on a very reasonable price. Secondly: the sauce in this restaurant is rather mild as compared to many other restaurants. I am sure this would be a good suggestion for some westerners visiting Malaysia.
Stir Fried Bamboo Clams
Bamboo clams is one of the local clams available in the east of Malaysia. Its a long tube liking clam which lives in the coast of Sarawak. The trick of harvesting them would be adding a little lime powder with prawn paste (if im not wrong) onto one end of a stick and this sticks are poke into the coast sands along the beach for a few seconds. Once the sticks are drawn out, these bamboo clams will emerged out of the sand to be harvested.
This dish was not something very special however I have to admit the clams are so fresh. I have tried them in Kuching before, the freshness is no where compared to this one.
Grilled Sting ray
This grilled sting ray is the simplest grilled I have ever seen. NO sauce on it. The freshness of the fish was amazing and no AMMONIA smell. This fish when it is not fresh, the smell of it is unbearable and usually smells like Ammonia or urine like smell. The taste was good, no addition of salt or pepper. The meat was succulent and grilled until the skin crisp up. The accompaniment sauce was nothing to shout about but the fish is very good on its own.
Stir fried tapioca shoots
Ahh...as I am in search of good foods, I realised up to now, good foods restaurants requires skills on how to stir fry a good dish of green vegetables. This was not too bad however for a plate of stir fried green vegetable, the vegetables should not be cooked till it become mushy. It suppose to still have that fresh vegetable crisp to it. I seriously recommend these good foods restaurants to send their chefs for stir fried vegetable course or refresher course.
It was my graduation dinner and I love the foods to the max. The portion was just right four of us. We did not order rice and we only ate dishes. The best part, its pretty reasonable. This dinner was like rm103 for all this and including drinks. Amazingly good.
