Ribb-it... Ribb-it...

A frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and was told, "You are going to
meet a beautiful young woman who will want to know everything about
you." The frog said, "That's great! Will I meet her at a party, or
what?" "No," said the psychic, "Next term, in her biology class.
"

TeeHeehee :D

In this case... you will meet her - at Klang Palace Restaurant, over Dimsum!
(Oh.. how cruel.. what to do... I am Chinese - I eat almost everything with its back to the sun):P

We read about this place via Julian Si's blog.
Since we were going to be in Klang that fine afternoon, we decided to swing by and check out the Dimsum at Klang Palace, Centro Mall.

We were early, so the place was relatively empty and service was fast.
Jules was right. Some of the dimsum was fair.. but some of it was EXCELLENT!

The Loh Mai Kai was really delicious. Not too wet/overly greasy like some places do it - the rice is sticky(but not drenched) and succulent with flavour. They were generous with their Lio (ingredients) too, which was nice.

This was my favourite of the day. The Pei Tan Sau Yoke Chok! (Century egg with pork strips porridge). The porridge is thick and sweet(I hate runny, thin porridge, unless it is meant to be runny and thin like the Teow Chew Moi/Chok) and again bursting with Lio (ingredients).
The crispy Yau Char Kwai on top really is the icing on the cake. Every mouthful was "Century egg/YauCharKwai/Pork Meat/Spring Onion" rapture! Very, Very good.

ERM, runny chok seems more teochew but that bowl looks so delicious.

Ciki said...

shell:
that sounds like a really good plan!

julian:
no problemo

jen:
yup - the only time i like my chok runny is if it is teochew chok. Otherwise for pork porridge, century egg porridge etc, froggie leg porridge.. i like it so thick i can stand my spoon in it! of course it gets runnier as you eat it, but dat's ok;D

I know exactly what you mean about thin and runny porridge... I like mine thicker and bursting with flavour and ingredients!

Of course, the froggy bits at the top of the posts are now making me hunger for frog porridge... *tummy growls*

backStreetGluttons said...

you have just showed us fatties the way to eating deep for 2 and then getting ready again for the next ( and next ) to become even more slim

This is a stone's throw away from my parents' place and I have yet to eat here. Must convince parents to go there some day, but it's so hard, considering the fact that there are so many good restaurants in Klang competing with each other.

Adrine said...

Looks really yummy, and with plus points of aircond and reasonable price. I'll give it a try one of these days ;)

Ciki said...

bbo:

bsg:
