Yaw Fat Restaurent in Summit USJ.

Can we find good food in Summit USJ? Never thought so? You are not right!

There is one restaurant at the 2nd floor serving reasonable good foods. From Bak Kut Teh to curry mee, all prepared from a single kitchen.

Summit has little to shop, but if you stay around there, why not find a day for movie (less people to fight for your sit) and have some interesting hawker food in a shop in a shopping mall?


I always believe good curry noodle should serve with steam white chicken. This shop gives me the entire drum stick!


"Gon Lou Horfan" with mushroom chicken. One of my favourite there. It tasted so thick and the "Horfan" as smooth as it was from Ipoh.


Well, this is the shop. Remember it!

Dong Zhi... Winter Solstice Celebration


The Winter Solstice Festival (Chinese: 冬至; Pinyin: dōng zhì; "The Extreme of Winter") is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians during the dongzhi solar term on or around December 21 when sunshine is weakest and daylight shortest; i.e., on the first day of the dongzhi solar term The origins of this festival can be traced back to the Yin and Yang philosophy of balance and harmony in the cosmos. After this celebration, there will be days with longer daylight hours and therefore an increase in positive energy flowing in. The philosophical significance of this is symbolized by the I Ching hexagram fù (復, "Returning"). Traditionally, the Dongzhi Festival is also a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers (especially in the southern parts of China and in Chinese communities overseas) is the making and eating of Tangyuan (湯圓, as pronounced in Cantonese; Mandarin Pinyin: Tāng Yuán) or balls of glutinuous rice, which symbolize reunion. Tangyuan are made of glutinuous rice flour and sometimes brightly coloured. Every one in the family receives at least one large Tang Yuan and several small ones. The flour balls may be plain or stuffed. They are cooked in a sweet soup or savoury broth with both the ball and the soup/broth served in one bowl.



Celebrating DongZhi and may the winter as sweet and lively as these TangYuan.



Seafood in Asia Cafe

Asia Cafe in Subang offer some very nice foods and very pretty chic. In Good Food. Good Life.: The Ultimate Clay Pot Chicken Rice, I thought the stall offer fantastic clay pot chicken rice (of course after that I found few more stalls selling far more better rice).

I go there on and off and when I have no idea what to eat. This time around, I tried the few BBQ fish stalls and tell you, the food not bad. No wonder many people go there to have those spicy seafood.

Other food? Not very impressive, I thought.


"Kam Heong Lala" was good. But I more prefer the one in Puchong food court.

I don't think this "chicken fish" looks like chicken, but it certainly taste a little bit like chicken, especially the texture. Well cooked and presented.

Well, we had other food as well. This tomyam fried noodle was too salty and spicy. Not impressive.


The Vietnam chicken rice owner was from Segamat. Good cook.
