Mun Fan (Steamed rice) - Restoran Sin Kee 新记

Here is the best and cheapest "mun fan" in town. I came across this restaurant from a food article. The last time I visited this shop was more than 10 years ago when they were located beside the Shell station in Brickfields. They moved to the present shop to make way for the Sentral development project.

The following photo shows the way the mun fan is served where you have to remove the inverted bowl yourself. But be careful, it's hot. A normal mun fan (served with pork) is priced at RM 6.50 whereas the seafood mun fan is RM7.00. Between the two, the seafood mun fan is highly recommended for their generous prawn and other seafood serving which can be seen from the photo.

Besides mun fan, this shop also serves western foods. My friend decided to try their chicken chop just for new experience. Not bad !

Sin Kee Restaurant is located along Brickfields main road right opposite Sentral. Looking for a parking here is quite a challenge.

Roast Duck - Yummy Duck Roast House

If you are a wanton mee lover like me, this is the place you must try. Although the signature dish here is roast duck, but the wanton mee is equally good. This shop is just a few door away from PappaRich, Kuchai Lama.


Besides roast duck, there are many other choices for you to choose to go with the wanton mee, roast pork, prawn wanton (mixed with pork), BBQ char siew, dumpling and others. I strongly recommend roast duck and char siew.

The serving can come with any one of the above (RM7.80) or combination of 2 (RM9.80) or combination of 3 (RM 11.80). As the serving is quite generous, I always take combination of 2.

If you like spicy food, you can ask for the "hot & spicy" version for extra RM1.00.

Although they also serve variety of side dishes, my friend always ordered the duck spring roll (RM8.00).

I have been to this place several times, I find that the roast pork always finish early.

Chicken Rice - Loke Yun (乐园)

I come to know about this place from Axian's TV show (阿贤人情味) . This is one of the best chicken rice, if not the best, I ever had. If you know where Ampang's Hong Hong Yong Tau Foo is, then it will be easy for you. Make a right turn from "Hong Hong" and go all the way straight until you almost reach the police station. You will find one shop on your left with 2 orange color lantern hanged side by side along with the signboard.

We came all the way here to try the signature dish, ie. farm chicken. It cost RM30 for half bird which served with special made chicken intestine. Honestly the portion is generous for half bird, we have to "ta pau" what we cannot finish for our dinner.

The special made chili and ginger goes very well with the chicken

We also have "Ipoh nga choi" which is very cruncy and "Fook Chow fishball" as side dishes.

Bean sprout (big) - RM4

Fook Chow fishball (5 pcs) - RM5

"全家福"

One thing I must say about this place, unlike other normal chicken rice shops, the tables here are perfectly clean. Good job.

Though parking space is limited but manageable. You can either look for your parking when you see the orange lantern 200m away or you can easily double park in front of the shop, it's ok here.
