Chinese Breakfast

chee cheong fun(steamed rolled rice noodles with grilled poke)

Most chinese like to take'dim sum' for breakfast. It is a specialty found in Chinatown all over the world. In Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia and even in America 'dim sum' is very popular with the chinese. Dim sum comes in small dainty plates of fried spring roll, fried yam cakes, fried fish ball or steamed little bamboo basket of a variety of minced meat balls, fish balls, minced meat with prawns, steamed rice noodles with prawns or char siew(grilled pork) ,glutinous rice with chickenmeat and chinese sausage and pau (sweet meat buns).
The place that we went to for dim sum is the popular chinese restaurant in Klang Valley, The Tai Thong Restaurant. They served a wide variety of dim sum and they are very tasty. Hot good chinese tea is served along with the food as it is believed it will cleanse the body of excess oil.Take a look at some of the pictures here.

Steamboat Chinese Style

Steamboat

Indulging in steamboat during cold weather is very refreshing for the body. That is why steamboat is very popular in Japan, Korea, China and lots of places where there are Chinatowns.

The soup for the steamboat is actually very simple. You can just boil with the chicken bones, pig's bones, cow's bones and even with anchovies with a little salt added in. This is to make the soup tasty and become even tastier when you add in ingredients like chicken meat,fish meat,beef,prawns,cuttlefish,fishballs,taufoo and different types of vegetables.

There are so many varieties of seafood and meat that we can add . You can also add the types
of noodles that you fancy.

Chinese Cuisine

Finding interesting food is my favourite venture during the weekends and holidays. I will go around the Klang Valley with my husband and son or sometimes friends to look for food recommended by friends or food that comes out in the newspaper.
This weekend, we decided to give ourselves a treat at the tallest building in Klang Town -Centro Buliding. We walked into the most expensive restaurant in this town which when translated from mandarin ,it means "Palace". The ambience is cool and the decor is quite classy. The service is superb.
The food comes in small serving and dainty and after finishing five dishes, we are still a bit hungry.

Roasted Pork & Roasted Pork Ribs

Roasted Pork is so good & very crisp. It goes with some wasabi mixed sauce for dipping.
Roasted Pork Ribs is sweet with a nice flavour.


Pan Fried Scallop
The scallop is fresh and you can taste the natural sweetness. It is delicious.

Braised Fish Maw with Chopped Pork
I like fish maw for it sponginess and this dish is quite ordinary and plain in taste.

Dried Scalop in Shark Bone Soup
This soup is simply marvellous. Besides scallop and shark bones, they added a few cubes of
green melon which make it unique and tasty.

Fried Fish Paste


The fish meat is removed from the skin and minced into a paste with chopped spring onions
& water chestnut. The paste is then wrapped with the fish skin and deep fried. When it is done, it is cut into big pieces with chilli sauce for dipping. The taste is good.

We decided to give ourselves another treat in the same building. This time around is ICECREAM. We found this heavenly icecream parlour known as New Zealand - Natural

Sundaes

The icecream sundae of mint, macademia and strawberri yoghurt with strawberri fruits and chocolate chips toppings is so..so..delicious & yummy. Isn't it mouth-watering, ice cream
enthusiast go for it!
