Day & Day Seafood Restaurant

I made my way to Jenjarom on a rather quiet Saturday evening. The roads were clear and getting to Day & Day Seafood Restaurant was easy peasy as the roads were virtually clear. We arrive at Day & Day Seafood just after 6pm.  You can either to choose to dine downstairs – without air conditioning or climb a flight of stairs to the first floor where there is air-conditioning. We chose the former.

 

This is steamed pomfret  (RM28) – was told that this was a mild version of asam steam fish. Well, I must say it was definitely too mild for me – it did not have the oomph I would expect of asam fish – it wasn’t sour nor spicy!

 

This is claypot tofu (RM13) – cooked with pieces of meat, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage and a generous amount of black Chinese mushroom, this RM13 dish was not only appetising but very satisfying too.

 

 

The vegetable dish we had was choy sum stem cooked with button mushrooms and meat. The chef had cleverly put in some carrots to make this dish more colourful. Thank you chef! I love this dish (RM9).

 

I would say that on the whole food here is cheap and the seafood very fresh.

Restoran Shiang Sze Lou, Jenjarom

Nothing much to do on this boring day so I decided to get a few friends and off we went to Jenjarom in search of whatelse but FOOD! We drove around the town and noticed that many shops were not opened for lunch. We also drove past Kim Mua Lau, which I have reviewed some time last year and saw lots of workers busy cleaning up and washing the restaurant.

 

As there were not many options available we ended up at Restoran Shiang Sze Lou which was an air-conditioned 2 shop-lot eatery. Communication proved to be a challenge as the foreign workers understood limited Mandarin…and could not understand either Bahasa Malaysia or English.

We ordered steam fish (RM36) . I love fish but I can’t say that I enjoyed eating this fish. Once the flame was out, I could smell mud..and that was certainly a great put off for me. In addition to that, the fish was still a little frozen in the inside.

 

2 steamed crabs weighing half a kilogramme (RM21) – which worked out to be RM42 per kg.Wow! Very expensive for a small town. The taste was just so-so.

 

Choy sum – stir fried with garlic (RM8) – boy oh boy did we bitch about this plate of vegetable…we ordered Hong Kong choy sum, which according to normal KL standards would mean young vegetables, but what we got was a far cry from that!

 

This is called Japanese ribs (RM15) and was indeed the best dish for this meal. The sauce was mildy sweet and it surely did tantalise my senses.

 

We then ordered dessert – known as salad pillows (RM12) this was crunchy on the outside and yummy inside. It was filled with corn and green peas coated in mayonnaise and was really awesome!

  Happy CNY once again and especially to the Hokkiens who celebrate CNY on the 9th day. CNY is not complete without a visit to the reknowned FGS Dong Zen Buddhist Temple in Jenjarom (佛光山东禅寺). But, before that let’s take care of our tummies!

The best way to get to Jenjarom is via the KESAS highway. After paying the RM2.20 toll at Kemuning, look out for Banting. Follow this signage all the way until you come to Teluk Panglima Garang. A few kilometres ahead you will see RHB Bank on your right. Turn right, go on for while and you will see Kim Mua Lau, a corner one-shoplot restaurant on your right.

The ten of us arrived at Kim Mua Lau at 6.30pm and the place is already abuzz. Business is good this time of the year when people flock to the temple nearby. We ordered 6 dishes.

This is the RM21 three-cup chicken (三杯鸡). This is very much a Taiwanese dish. The 3 cups used in this dish are an equal portion of the following:- sesame oil, Chinese cooking wine and soya sauce. It had a very exotic aroma and I really loved the sauce.

Three-cup chicken

This is the spare ribs with pumpkin in a clay pot (RM21). This dish is not only yummy….but very healthy. Pumpkin is said to be loaded with beta-carotene, an essential antioxidant that fights cancer.

This is prawns with corn (RM39). I must admit this is the first time I come across this. What a delectable dish!

This is a simple dish of stir fried yau mak with garlic (RM12). Great dish as there was sufficient wok hei.

Steamed lala with garlic (RM21) was the next dish we savoured. We specifically requested for this dish to be done without any chillies – for 2 reasons:-

Someone in our group couldn’t take spicy food

2- We needed to gauge the freshness of the lala

This dish scored a perfect 10. Fresh lala steamed with sufficient garlic truly make a mouth-watering dish that no one could resist!

Well, the ,last dish is one that you must definitely try. Fried mee hoon with crabs (RM51) –something truly unique! The dish actually had more crabs than noodles…and I ain’t complaining J

The total bill for our dinner for 10pax came in less than RM200. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal.

Here are some pictures of the temple. It’s really worth a visit. Ample free parking and admission is also free.
