When there is a crave, there is a place! This is the place where I normally go for my hearty meal - Chicken Chop! I have been frequenting this stall for years now. They serve very decent western fare and their Chicken Chop is highly recommended. Most importantly it is affordable!
They use only dark meat to deep fry with bread crumbs for their chicken chop. It is so perfectly fried that the meat is tender and juicy while the crust is still crispy when served. The brown sauce is so creamy and tasty to go with the chicken. It is also served with coleslaw, fried egg and some fries. The portion, I would say is huge! The price, I would say is cheap! It's only RM8.00.
This is their sirloin steak with brown sauce - RM13.00. I find the steak was overcooked as it was a bit chewy. If you find the food in these pictures not appetising enough, you could actually try their other dishes; Lamb Chop, Grill Chicken, Black Pepper Lamb, Black Pepper Steak and many more.
The coleslaw is actually better than the KFC's one.
It is located at the right end corner of the Uptown Hawker Center in Damansara. Business hour is from 6:30pm - midnight.

Woo Pin Yu Thao Mai-鱼头米 which is based in Cheras is quite popular among the avid foodies of fish head noodle in Klang Valley. They also have another branch in Taman Desa. But I still go back to their main branch for the original 鱼头米.
This bowl of 'bee hoon' (rice vermicelli) is huge with 3 large pieces of deep-fried 'Soong' fish ( A type of fresh water fish). They do have the poached version of fish if you don't particularly like the deep-fried version. Evaporated milk is used to cook the broth so it's a bit milky but don't worry if you prefer the plain one. They do serve without milk one. Anyway, the evaporated milk will make the broth to have more... oomph flavor! Never the less plenty of 'kiam chai' (salted veges.) and the Hua Tiao Chiew( Chinese wine ) really give it a kick!.
To squeeze a piece of lime into the 'sambal' to go with the fish is heavenly!
I asked to be given only the 'meaty' fish as I don't really know how to appreciate the head's parts. So they gave me 3 large pieces of fish. This bowl of 鱼头米 priced RM 7.50. Actually the basic one is just RM 6.50 but I ordered a 'keh liao' (additional) one. 3 pieces of fish pastes for RM1.00. The fish paste is made of mackerel fish. The texture is a bit harder than the normal fish ball. Worth it!
The evaporated milk and 'hua tiao chiew' are the main ingredients.
By the time I finished that bowl of 'yu thao mai', my underwear was already soaked in sweat. I guess it must be the ginger, or maybe the 'sambal' and the scorching sun did the trick. Remember to wear light!
The Woo Pin Fish Head Noodle is located under this 4 storey flat, in Jalan Ikan Emas, Cheras. They close on Thursday. Lunch time is crowded. Location map.
When you mention 'Dim Sum', usually it will be associated to; waking up early in the morning so that you can get a table (usually it's full of people on weekends), the noise in the restaurant and the waitress running around from table to table with their trolley or tray to show you their dim sum.
Celestial Court, contrarily, the atmosphere is cosy and relax. You'd have to actually order from the menu. The Dim Sum is fresh and hot from the bamboo steamer when served. They serve the best Dim Sum that I've ever tasted so far. I dare to say that it's better than the Hong Kong Dim Sum that I've tasted there. "Sure or not? So good meh??"- you may ask. Well, here I would just let the pictures do the talking!
A cup of cappuccino and a piece of curry puff is perfect combination for your afternoon tea!
I have been a loyal friend to them since 7 years ago. If you are not yet an Ikea's friend, try to make friends with them fast so that you can enjoy the free coffee there!
