Families & friends flock to this neighborhood Chinese eatery for no-nonsense nosh.
Sizzling-hot, super-silky bean curd, soaked in deliciously savory gravy.
Fat, pleasantly chewy snails in a sinfully buttery sauce.
Honey-cooked chicken, a sweeter substitute for fried, roasted or steamed fowl.
Obligatory veggies. Take 'em or leave 'em.
Complimentary black-herbal jelly in ice. Or something like that.
Wooi Mei Seafood Restaurant,
Jalan 29, Section 17, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
It's very hard for me to imagine u enjoying a meal in a Chinese restaurant like this. Hehe. I always get the impression that you do fine dining only. ;P
ReplyDeleteBaby Sumo: heheh, i think the main attraction for me when i visit eateries would be wine & cocktails. so i tend to head to places that have all the right liquor in stock :D
DeleteOh looks yummy! Don't think i've ever seen snails in butter 'nai yau' style in a chinese dai chow restaurant like this before!
ReplyDeleteWendy: ooh, thanks for mentioning the chinese name of that cooking style! i gotta remember the phrase, so that i can try to order it at other places! nai yau, nai yau, nai yau :D
DeleteThe beancurd dish would be my favorite. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to certain soy products. :(
ReplyDeleteMichelle: i sympathize with that. i'm grateful that i'm not allergic to any food, but i feel bad for friends who can't take stuff like seafood...
DeleteGive me a plate of beancurd and i'll finish my bowl of rice =)
ReplyDeleteSmitten by Food: heh, i'm not the biggest fan of bean curd, but i know what you mean! :D
DeleteI miss Malaysian food.
ReplyDeleteHungry Female: come back soon, yeah! =)
DeleteComfort food!!!! I miss mashing my beancurd with my rice and drizzle it with loads of sauce!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVien: it's pretty cool, eh, how so many of us have similarly fond memories of beancurd, sauce & rice! :D
DeleteWhoaaa you eat at such a place too?! hehehhehe not all the time at an expensive restaurant, ya? :p
ReplyDeleteSean, I've been too busy! Hate it a bit!
Rad: heh, this was a good meal =) busy is good, but stressed is not. hope you're not TOO stressed, ya!
Delete*chuckles*
ReplyDeleteLittle did your readers above know that you had to be dragged out t a Chinese restaurant --- though, to your credit, not kicking and screaming. Heh.
Kenny: heeee, no dragging involved leh. all it took was a simple phone call. I'm easy that way! :D
DeleteWell, we are going back to Wooi Mei soon (it's almost a once-a-week thing for us) - jom join? :D
DeleteKenny: 'dai chow'-hopping! The 2012 alternative to cafe-hopping! :D
Deletebutter snails look good:D love these no frill outlets so long as they do not have wailing kids:P
ReplyDeleteMissyblurkit; heheh, but since it's sorta open-air, the sound of the wailing kids will just drift away into nothingness (hopefully) :D
DeleteSilky smooth bean curd - next on my to order list. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Yum List: bean curd does sound like it's everyone's favorite! Three cheers for good ol bean curd! :D
Deletewow. I would love to see snails at my chinese dinner too. They must have been very yummy.
ReplyDeleteEiling: thankfully my friend knew to order those snails! i wouldn't have known, heheh :D
DeleteTrue Story, once when we were dining here, they had to borrow rice from their neighbour across the road as they had run out of rice :)
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, you should really give their neighbour a try (if you haven't already) =)
UnkaLeong: and the moral of the story is, it's nice to have good neighbors! :D i haven't given their neighbor a try. though actually, they seem to have lotsa neighbors, ya =)
