Braised Pork Legs, Yam Rice & Pork Stomach Soup
This is 'Low Chee Keok' (Braised Pork Leg) cooked in black sauce; the consistency of the sauce is not too thick nor diluted. The taste? Its just right, not too salty nor sweet but just right. You can request for either just knuckles, or with some lean meat, or, with some 'in-between' ( 3 chan yoke). What more with the sambal chilly that's being served with this dish. The sambal is not the usual sambal chilly thats being served - if they forget to serve the sambal, ASK for it. The above portion is served for two, but if its just knuckles you asked for, be prepared to order more as not only your stomach will not be filled but your palate will not be satisfied either!
You can have a choice between plain white rice or yam rice (below pic). Despite the many occasions that I have been there, I have yet to try the yam rice. This is because I liked the sauce and its such a waste for me to have the yam rice camouflaged with the sauce. Thus, I am not able to tell you how good the yam rice is.
The makan kakis' that went out with me, you can comment as you have had not only a taste, but many times of this yam rice, if you are reading this ;-)
The below soup, "Chee Toh Thong" (Pork Stomach Soup) is much different from the usual soup that many of us have had tried. This particular shop's method of cooking does not seem to have the usual taste or smell of white pepper which one normally throws in to 'take away' the 'smell' of the pork stomach. Thus, one needs to clean the pork stomach very well. The cleansing of the pork stomach is a very tedious process, which I have seen my mum doing it.
This is not your typical 'Chee Toh Thong' with lots of white pepper. Despite the lack of white pepper, the soup tasted very sweet as they throw in a concoction of numerous items like meat balls, lean and semi lean meat, pork kidney or liver. As you can see, I opted to leave out the 'spare parts'. You can ask the 'spare parts to be served in a separate bowl.
This place was introduced to me by my regular "badminton wiper" - Hii Man, nope, not the He-Man, Master of The Universe (cartoon character!). Sadly, I have yet to know the name of the place. I shall find out on my next visit. Oh yeah, the price is quite reasonable. Meanwhile, how to get there?
If you are coming from KL, just like me: Take the federal h/way (or, if you are coming from any part of PJ), exit at Jln 222, go straight until you arrive at a X-junction, turn right; proceed straight ahead till you arrive at PJ's smallest roundabout (literally speaking, this is one roundabout that any vehicle can drive over!), take a left turn and drive on for <50m,>Sg. Way's Wet Market (you are facing another T-junction). Take a right and head on for less than 10-20m (look out for a left lane - landmark to look for is KODAK photo logo)take a left turn. The lane here is rather narrow and is all ONE WAY street. Drive on for approximately 500m (??)(you will find yourself in 'another world' as Sg Way is used to be known as 'cowboy' town) and you will past rows of shops and houses(both on your left and right). What you need to look out for is a TEMPLE (on your right) - the coffeeshop is located exactly opposite on your left.
From Subang/PJ, the easiest is to take the Federal Highway and take the slip road on your left (indicating Sg Way), once you see GAB (Guiness Anchor Berhad). The moment you drives up the slip road, go straight across (watch out for traffic from opposite and left) and past the Sg Way Wet Market. From here follow the route given above.
Btw, the coffee served here is great too!!! If you are lost, give me a shout and I shall direct you there. All you need to do is pay for my lunch too :) Oh yeah, they are only open for lunch.
