Pictures from my recent trip to KL, Singapore, Malacca and Hong Kong.

Typical Malaysian breakfast , roti canai and curries.

Curry coated seafood being prepared for lunch

"Nasi Campur" , the literal translation is mixed rice. Selection on the plate from 12 o'clock tempoyak and sambal, ayam masak merah, mango kerabu, fried liver, lemak sea snails and fried salted fish.

Nite out at the local hawker joints in Petailing Jaya.

Kicking off the night with fried noodles at O&S Restaurant in Paramount Garden.

"Chicken Fish ikan panggang (grilled fish)" being prepared

Appetizer of par boiled "see harm" (blood cockles) served with sambal dipping sauce.

Hokkien noodle, nicely loaded with deep fried lard cubes.

Followed by Cantonese style fried rice noodles

Fish from earlier and "loh mee" in the background

and lastly beef and chicken satay

Couple hours later headed off to SS2's glutton square for supper.

My cousin's place, I hear he previously trained in HK, Macau and Sydney and returned home to open his own place. Their specialties are seafood not often found in the marketplace.

First item butter fried japanese snails

"abalone" clam steamed with wine, special of the nite. Both items were very good.

"Sand Har Meen", freshwater prawns with noodles at the popular Greenview restaurant in Petaling Jaya. Prawns were a bit small that evening.

Here what the prawns look like, also known as "udang galah" locally.

Dinner at Pantai Seafood in Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara, ordered this on two different occasions Deep fried pork knuckles, love the crispy skin, perfect bar food if you ask me!!!

My favorite satay place in Malacca "Xiang Ji / Jonker Street Satay". I'm especially fond of the liver and intestine satay.

Another popular treat in Malacca, "satay celup", sticks of seafood, meat, fishballs dipped and cooked in a spicy, slightly sweet gravy.

Final day before heading back to the US....

Dim Sum at Lei Garden in Tsim Tsa Tsui. Best Dim Sum I've ever had, so refined and delicate!!

They were running a crocodile meat promotion

Chicken Feet

Har Gow

Har Cheong

Radish Cake (all radish and flour use sparingly as a binder)

I forget what this was

House roast duck specialty

It was at the very tail end of the season so the selection was a little sparse.

That was ayam laut? I still remember having ayam laut in the kampung where I lived in Terengganu in the mid 70s. I loved it! It actually did taste somewhat like chicken!

Splendid pictorial by you! Thank you!

His place is actually located in Petaling Jaya not KL at the SS2 Hawker center / Glutton's square. His brother is running another branch in Selayang KL I believe but I'm not sure of it's location.

Pan,

I believe it's the same fish, the cantonese name translates literally to "Chicken Fish". My favorite fish for ikan panggang.
