Homemade Breakfast Dish Restoran Fong Mei @ SS 14, Subang Jaya

Whenever after checking in my Proton Persona for a routine service at the SS 14 authorized Proton service centre, I will take my sweet time grabbing my breakfast at the SS 14 area while waiting for my car service to be done.

As much as I love the Bak Kut Teh in this area, however having them as a breakfast would be too heavy for my appetite especially when I am just awake. On my previous car service appointment, I tried my breakfast luck with Restoran Fong Mei, visiting them for the very first time.

Restoran Fong Mei

Very simple layout

Unlike a typical coffee shop, this stall has very little dish to offer. However, don't be fooled by their lacking of choices as each of the dish are personally prepared by the owner, Angeline, promising you a home-cooked taste.

The signature dishes of Angeline

I'd wanted to order a nasi lemak but they sold out even as early as 9am. Well, claypot Lou Shu Fun is my next automatic choice then.

Claypot Lou Shu Fun (RM 5)
It was very flavourful and comes with ample of gravy, just like how I liked it to be. One of a better Lou Shu Fun that I have tasted..

Pretty good sambal

Beancurd Skin Ginkgo Dessert (RM 2 per bowl)
The beancurd skin are boiled till it is diluted. Coupled with the perfect sweetness, it definitely has what it take to be a good bowl of beancurd skin ginkgo dessert. Reminds me so much of my mum's version, tasted so similar.

The food that I've tried gave me a pleasant experience of home-cooked taste. No excessive MSG spotted (or maybe none), as I did not bottled down loads of water after the meal. Definitely will return here for the rest of the Angeline signature dishes.

Claypot Lou Shu Fun: 6.5/10
Beancurd Skin Ginkgo Dessert: 7.5/10

Atmosphere: 4.5/10
Price: 6/10
Verdict: Simple breakfast with a homemade taste!

Claypot Chicken Rice Restoran Busy Corner @ Damansara Jaya, Petaling Jaya

Being a fan of claypot chicken rice myself, I couldn't recall how many times I've been disappointed by the taste of the claypot chicken rice around Klang Valley. Until last year I was rather skeptical on trying another claypot chicken rice stall until my parents introduced me to a stall located in Damansara Jaya.

Named as Restoran Busy Corney, this stall specializes in preparing claypot chicken rice. Ask the Damansara Jaya folks, and they will tell you this is the most famous claypot chicken rice that you can find in Damansara area.

Restoran Busy Corner

There are two session of opening, the lunch session is at 11am to 2.30pm, while the dinner session starts from 5pm to 9.30pm. It can be really crowded during the peak hours, so be early to avoid the crowd and the long queue.

Traditional Claypot Chicken Rice (RM 6.50 for small)

The difference between the chicken rice and the typical one elsewhere is that it comes with onions. Chinese sausage and salted fish are optional (RM 1 each per added serving), only added upon request by the customers.

Traditional Claypot Chicken Rice
The rice were well cooked, neither too soggy nor have any hint of uncooked. Flavourful gravy, well-seasoned chicken, salted fish scent and the fragrance of Chinese sausages coupled with the hint of spring onion, brings out the very flavour that what makes a good claypot chicken rice. Not only that, the onions presence enhance the overall flavour of the chicken rice.

Black Pepper Chicken Rice (RM 6.50 for small)
If you are a fan of black pepper just like me, do not miss this out! The black pepper sauce blends really well with the onions, bringing out an even better flavour to the rice than of the ordinary chicken rice. It's my personal favourite here!

Lo Han Guo Herbal Drink (RM 1.80)
I like how generous the servings of the longan are.

Besides the typical flavour, they do offer other special flavour of claypot chicken rice, ranging from red bean sauce to Thai's sauce. They even have black pepper steak rice, prawn rice and fish rice, all served in claypot. Do try them if you have the urge to be adventurous.

The menu

Overall, I would say the price are reasonable with the serving portion that comes along. The taste did not disappoint and definitely one of a place to be to satisfy the craving for good claypot chicken rice.

Atmosphere: 5/10
Food: 7.5/10 (non-halal)
Price: 6.5/10
Verdict: One of a better claypot chicken rice in Klang Valley.
