Indian Rojak and Vadai @ SS15 Subang Jaya

We had Indian rojak in SS15 in Subang Jaya where there was a long line of people with similar intent. We found this popular roadside stall quite by accident, actually.
That's the menu, we had the one with squid and a boiled egg.

This was real good, the gravy was not too thick, nor too watery, with just the right hint of spiciness. I loved how the testure of the crunchy cucumber and sengkuang (yam bean) contrasted with the springy slices of boiled egg.

Next to the Indian rojak stall was another selling Indian savoury treats.
We bought a bunch of vadai, the best I've ever had. It was fresh off the wok, really crunchy on the outside and delightfully aromatic inside.
They have loads of chickpeas on sale too.
And what I think was the softer version of vadai.
3-bams for good snacking.

La-La Chong Seafood Restaurant, near Subang Airport

It was the eve of Uncle Kenny's wedding and the (most unstressed-out) groom took us out to eat at La-La Chong. We had family members back from the States, so a mad binge was to be expected.

Kenny ordered the Siong Tong Lala - lala in superior stock, which tasted very herbal. We all agreed that this was very good, the lala was fresh and the stock had a lot of body.

The Thai fried chicken was crunchy, a little on the dry side. It could have benefitted from some extra sweet, sour and spicy Thai gravy.

This was my favourite dish, deep fried honey squid. Kinda resembled cockroaches (lol!), but tasted deliciously crispy and sticky sweet - lovely!

Paku pakis fried with tuna bits. Ok this was a little weird for me since I am not a fan of canned tuna. Though I have always liked the crunchy paku pakis, I had to pick through the tuna bits. Taste-wise it's paku pakis with belacan, and imagine that with canned tuna mixed in.

The claypot tofu was good, with big chunks of mixed vegetables and assorted mushrooms.

Of course, the star of the dinner were the crabs. Done in 2 different styles, the first 2 kgs of crabs were done in kam heong style (fried with curry leaves and dried shrimps). This style wasn't exactly a favourite of mine, it had a weird aftertaste.

The next 2 kgs of crabs were cooked in the sweet & sour style which is what I usually order. The crabs were good, but I found the sauce to be a tad too tame. I like mine with more spicyness in it, and alot more eggy too.


As I was busy peeling crabs, a poor lil Starvin Marvin came and sat down beside me, looking at me with imploring eyes. No choice - have to share my food or my 2 kitties will never forgive me for not helping one of their own. That night, he ate crabs, bits of tuna and dried shrimps.


Poor lil Starvin Marvin reminded me with his paws when I became too engrossed with peeling crabs. Soft nudges which said...."Hey, I'm still here!"
I wanted to take Starvin Marvin home....but guess who disagreed!?

Uncle Kenny paid the bill, I heard it was in the vicinity of RM170++, for the 9 of us. Not bad for 4kgs of crabs!

Restoran Teow Chew Meng, Subang Jaya

We were in the Subang neighbourhood couple weeks back and it was dinner time. Cruised around and stumbled upon this shop with lots of photographs of its dishes pasted on its entrance wall. Great!

Hubby has this porridge craze going on, so he ordered the Seafood Porridge (RM10.00). It came loaded with ingredients. The soft, plump fishballs were especially memorable.

I ordered the Seafood Fried Rice (RM10.00) which was not bad, though I would have preferred it spicy. It was teeming with prawns, so I was happy!

This restaurant also sells a variety of other dishes such as Mee Sua Tow, Seafood Noodles, Octopus, Kerabu Mango, Seafood Tom Yam Noodles, Seafood Roll and 3-Taste Oyster, to name a few.


WMW has a post on the SS2 branch of this restaurant too. I believe the menu is similar in all its branches, be it Penang, Subang, SS2, Kepong or PJ.
