The once a year mid autumn festival is coming soon! Have you bought something (ie: mooncake gift set) for yourself, your family, your friends, your colleagues?! Or are you the person in charge to get the gift sets for the clients in your company but …

In fancy restaurant?!

In posh looking Chinese dining place?
Nope…
Not anywhere but my house.
I just couldn’t believe my eyes, I could have this braised pork trotter on a normal weekday at home. It was not some kind of special occasion eg: Chinese New Year or some reunion dinner or anyone’s birthday. Just a simple normal day…
Mum made us braised pork trotter!!! Fried and braised for hours; used a special way to flavour the whole pork trotter; and created this special this. I love the fats part the most; soft, silky soft and melted right on the tongue. The skin was packed with collagen while the meat was succulent.
Okay, don’t drool in front of the screen 😛
I wish i could have half of mum’s skill! YUM!!! ♥
Happy Friday!
My gang of friends has been acting weird lately. They seems to hunt after some kind of cuisine which I don’t usually go for – that’s the vegetarian cuisine. And the weirdest thing is that they are doing it every Friday. I thought, people will …

Who doesn’t know this famous Hung Kee Wanton Mee located at Jalan Loke Yew?!
Established since mid of 1960s by the Phoon family from a small shoplot and now has expanded to air conditioned shoplots and a branch in Taman Shamelin Perkasa.
I frequent to their branch; say like once a week after grocery shopping nearby and ordered myself a plate of wanton mee. Hmmm, to be specific, that will be their noodles with char siu (BBQ pork) only (RM 4.50 per plate). You can always have their noodles with char siu and wanton (come in 6 pcs) but I never like their wanton(s) as the skin may be too thick to me.
Their wanton noodles are handmade; every strand is springy in texture and tossed in well seasoned sauce. Do opt for semi-fat char siu (半肥瘦叉烧) that comes fattier (this time the char siu was not fatty enough); I enjoyed chewing the fatty charred part that gave a sweet aftertaste.
Verdict: Their char siu may not be the best one you have had; but the yellow thin strands of springy noodles are something you will love. Another reason I love coming here is, I don’t have to fight through the traffic and travel down to Jalan Loke Yew for a plate of wanton mee as we have one Hung Kee (their branch) in Cheras 🙂
