Food in Manjalara (Kepong) - Steamboat
Many people have eaten steamboat before and where do most people go, Manjalara (Kepong). This is where most steamboat lovers would go. My wife and myself too frequent this place almost once a month. The restaurant of our choice is the "Yong Yong Hue Seafood Restaurant".
Our choice of broth is always the combination of plain and tom yam. As anyone know the key to a good steamboat is always in it's broth. This place serves an awesome tom yam broth. But beware since the broth must be steaming hot plus with the spicyness the tom yam will burn a hole in your lips after 4 to 5 minutes of constant consumption. What can i say my wife and myself love the sensation.
As for the ingredients we feel that most steamboats are the same. You will find the common stuff like tofu, vegetable, fish, prawns, fishballs (various types), mushrooms, eggs and noodles (Mee Hoon and Yee Mee).
(I have removed the foo chok that is put on top)
By the way while waiting for the broth to come to a boil we have ordered some barbequed chicken wings. I personally would like my barbeque chicken wings to be on the sweet side (honey). From the scaleof 1 to 10 (10 being the best) i will put it at 6. The unique part of this place is that each steamboat restaurant will have their own chicken wing barbeque stall which is not allowed to cross sell.
The cost is calculated by per pax at RM13.50. I am wondering where shall we wonder to next?

Kedai Makanan Laut Hai Ung. Food in Kuala Selangor
On 23rd Jan took my family to Kuala Selangor wanting to run away from KL because of the traffic. Started our journey about 11am through Sg Buluh. The journey seems fine until almost reaching Kuala Selangor we were stuck in a traffic jam. Thinking that maybe it could just be an accident or a car broke down. Follow the traffic until we realized that there were cars park on the left and right side of the road and we could see people carrying "Kavadi". Hahahaha.
We finally reached Kuala Selangor about 1.30pm and it's lunch time. Not knowning where to eat we just followed the sign boards. The place we ended up is "Kedai Makanan Laut Hai Ung". To get there pass the bridge and about 1km you'll come up to the first traffic light from here turn left go straight and turn left. About 150 meters turn right this is where you'll see sign boards with lots of names of restaurants, just follow the road which seems like it's going to no where. About 5 minutes drive you'll find,
This place is quite big, i think they can serve up to 50 tables. This place seems to be halal as i could see some muslim people sitting and eating there. We took the table at the furtherst corner of the place. From here you could get a great view of Sg Selangor river and the residents along the river.
Hunger was too much for us (My 4 year old son, my wife and myself) we proceeded to order our food. We ordered steam fish (sorry can't remember the name of fish,
Next dish is the deep fried mantis prawn.
Next dish is the mix vegetable with tofu,
The last dish is the sweet and sour prawn,
As for the taste we do find the food to be quite good especially for the fried mantis prawn. But we find the steam fish a bit too tough.
Now come the price, the whole 4 dishes cost us RM78. Price is some what of KL price but the experience of going out with my family and spending time together is priceless.
