FATT KEE grilled chicken rice

The place is called Fatt Kee grilled chicken rice, but believe me, it's the DUCK you want to try! Cumi loves the duck and bbq pork rice, but for me (Ciki), its the pepper pig stomach soup that keeps me coming back... honestly, its sooooo peppery and sweet and yet not "porky-smelly" that it brings tears to my eyes (literally - am not sure if they are tears of joy, or tears caused by the pepper .. haha). For those who like their pig stomach soup with an extra peppery kick, look no further. This is it.Also, when I say that this is the place one dreams about, and wakes up in cold sweat over, only to have the insatiable sensation pacified by legging it down to Fatt Kee and stuffing one's face with the siew ngap(roast duck) siew yok (bbq roast pork) fan (rice), i really mean this is THE place one dreams about.. i kid u not .The duck is tender, juicy and sweet with no gamey smell, and the bbq roast pork is crispy and succulent. Be sure to ask for the portion that is half-fat-half-lean, as this is the best part. Just tell the duck man, "UNCLE, Ngor Yew Poon Fei Sau, Em Koi Sai !!!!" The meal is also rather affordable, unlike the other 'rip-off' duck rice place in Balakong (kindly refer to past blog on duck rice in Balakong) . At Fatt Kee, 2 persons portion of duck and bbq roast pork as well as 1 portion of pepper pig stomach soup, and 2 drinks will come up to a mere RM18.50

What bliss! What joy! What a steal i say...

Since I do not believe in spoon feeding my readers, and that most of the fun of food hunting lies in looking, and getting loss and looking, and getting loss.. etc etc... I will only say that Fatt Kee's is somewhere on Jalan Pudu, near the Pudu shopping centre/supermarket:)

Why Did the Chicken Cross the street...

To get to Tim Kee !!!



Tim Kee Chicken Rice , Cheras has got to be one of our all time favourite chicken rice stalls.



The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and above all hygienic. Check out the disposable gloves they use for chopping !

The other great thing about Tim Kee is the incredible "chap fan" (mixed rice) spread.. one of my favourites is the "Choy Kiok" (pickled vegetables) - it is spicy, sour and tangy... mmmmmmm, a real appetite stimulator to start of lunch with :)

Olive Ristorante, Plaza Damas

CUMI : One particular weekend we visited Plaza Damas @Sri Hartamas.

There isn't really much about that location. There used to be a lot of unique restaurants opening there when they first opened but recently, they have all closed shop. I guess there just isn't enough traffic as estimated by the budding entrepreneurs to keep their restaurants going.
After walking around aimlessly, we decided for the Olive Restaurant located at the commercial shops facing one of the mall entrances at the top level.

CIKI : It was a cosy enough restaurant with nice ambient lighting. The food was Italian. CUMI ordered the lamb cutlet, while I had the steak. We had a nice bottle of red to go with it.

Verdict : The food was cooked well and the taste was light. Both the steak and chops were cooked the way we asked. There was nothing spectacular about the way the food was prepared though. We would say it was a well cooked meal, but that's about it.


Food : 5/10
Price : Moderate (for Italian)
Ambiance : 6/10
Staff : Friendly
Comment : We would not really go back unless someone invited us or we had really no other Italian restaurant left to go (!)
