BBQ Restaurant - Jln Ipoh

by - 10:04 PM

I am one person that will not crave for One Tonne Mee - okay, its not One Tonne, but Wan Tan Mee. It does sounds like One Tonne though ;-) There is nothing really special about this Wan Tan Mee but I am there for other dishes which are available. As any of us knows, you can have a choice of the thin or thick (choa - above pic) mee. They do have curry for you to choose if you do not want the typical black sauce. To me, the char siew is a bit dry unlike the char siew in Tengkat Tung Shin, which is moist and nice and cost a bomb too!

Now I am at this place for their 'Water Dog' translated from cantonese dialect - "Sui Kow". As you bite into the dumpling, you can immediately taste the mixture of prawn and pork in clear broth. What does this tells you? The portion is generous and the dumpling skin is just like 'a piece of thin cloth covering the body' - ever heard of that? Me neither. Hahaha. But I am sure you are able to imagine what I am trying to describe here.


The other dish is most famous during CNY - the chinese will combine whatever leftover dishes from the CNY eve's feast i.e. pork bones, legs, chicken, duck, etc combine with the right amount of combined Assam Skin and Dried Chilly. Of course, the other key ingredient is the veg itself - mustard. You need to boil it first then slowly simmer till soft. This is known as 'Choi Keok' (Left Over Veg)
If you liked it spicy, just add a little more dried chilly. Or, if you find it not sour enough to your taste bud, add more of the assam skin. It all depends on how you like it to be cooked. The Choi Keok here is just nice to my liking - the amount of sourness, but it would have be nicer if just a little teeny bit more spicy :)

The total cost of RM29.50 was for 3 plates of Wan Tan Mee, a single portion of yong tow foo, 3 'winter melon' drinks in addition to the above two dishes. Yes, instead of having your usual wan tan (dumpling) to go with your noodles, you can opt to have yong tow foo instead. They have variety of drinks i.e. 'yong sum soh' (ginseng), 'toong kwah' (winter melon), etc.
This place also serves the usual chicken and duck rice too (I have tried their duck - quite alright), curry chicken. I have yet to find out why the place is known as BBQ Restaurant - maybe, just maybe, it could be because they make their own char siew too!
BBQ Restaurant is located at No 85 Jalan Ipoh (next to Ambank). They are open as early as 830 - 530pm and 630pm-11pm. And, takes a break fortnightly on a Sunday. There is another branch at 125, Bt 9 Cheras, 43200 Kajang. I have not been there, thus, not sure if its the same.
Or, simply, if you know where Damai Specialist Hospital is, its on the same row, but 3rd block - intermediate shoplot.
