Restaurant Clan

Everytime I pass by Sri Petaling, my friend will tell me that Sri Petaling is famous for dim sum. When I ask him what is nice, he will just keep silent. After some research in few famous food blog, I decided to drop by at Restaurant Clan with 'Piggy J' and 'Cili Padi' after our tiring trip to Genting. Actually Piggy J wanted dim sum since he missed dim sum in Genting

Restaurant Clan is famous for some reason. One of it is due to its Kai Wo Pau (Chicken Nest Bun). No all dim sum place in KL or PJ serve this in their menu and thus it was a must to order food here.

Kai Wo Pau is actually Pau filled with Lo Mai Kai (Chicken Glutinous Rice). Just imagine an hot Lo Mai Kai been inside the fluffy Pau pastry. The glutinous rice is very soft and aromatic. A good aroma of 'hua tiau' wine can be smell as soon as the waiter serve the Kai Wo Pau onto our table. The filling include chicken, button mushroom, glutionous rice, char siew and most importantly the salted egg york. So sinful but very very delicious. The fluffy bun absorb the gravy from all the ingredient....Thumb up...


We also order other dim sum such as Chee Chong Fun, Harkau, Siewmai, Lalamai, beancurb skin roll and peithanmai (century egg dimsum). The Chee Chong Fun with char siew turn up to be thick and warm. I will prefer it to be serve hot. Same goes to Harkau as the skin have harden and do not taste as nice as it suppose to be. Other dim sum is 'so so' and nothing to shout about.

Conclusion, I would prefer if all the dim sum been served hot as it would taste nicer. The price is average but there is much room for improvement in term of the dim sum. Service is good but not so friendly as they seem as if they wanted to chase away the customer after eating to let other customer to occupied the table.

One advice for people who wanted to go there....Please go early as there is limited parking and the table is usually full during weekend.

Calorie

The kaki makan team is out for food search again and this time around we have decided to stop by at Sri Petaling to taste some of the delicacy there.

After hours of rounding and rounding, we at last decided to select Calorie Restaurant as our destination. We choose Calorie for 1 good reason. Reason being the name Calorie potraits that it is kinda healthy and serve well balance food.

When we arrived, there is just few tables of people but we were told that there is reservation made for 16 people so we can expect a slower food to be served. We settle down and been entertained by one 'quite unfriendly' waiteress.

Anyway cut story short, after an hour waiting and chit chatting we were serve with mouth watering food.

Zhe Quan order his Big Combo set meal which is rice served with chicken chop, century egg, mussle and prawn with special sauce. The set meal come with drink choice of either lemon longan, lemon sea coconut or ginger rice ball drink.

Leaf (a gals, carnivor who don't eat vege) order her Pork Chop rice with italian sauce. The rice come with a huge pork chop served with special mayonice. Below the juicy tender pork chop is omellete served with twin sauce of curry and tomato sauce.

I order the cheese baked rice with chicken chop. The portion of baked rice is huge and the chicken chop was juicy and tender. The chef is not stingy when come to putting in the cheese....

Fook Weng on the other hand orders his cheese baked rice with pork chop with pumpkin. According to Fook Weng, the pumpkin meat is so thick and one can enjoy both rice and sweetness of pumpkin on the same time.


As for our drink, we order Lemon Longan, Lemon Sea Coconut and my Kiwi juice. Fook Weng settle down with his 'ying yong'...
