Soo Kee Restaurant @ Jalan Imbi (Sang Har Mee)

In Malaysia, it's often hard to remember what time of the year it is, since is sunny all year round. But you know the holiday season is here when friends from overseas are dropping by Malaysia for a visit and what better place to bring them than the iconic Soo Kee Restaurant @ Jalan Imbi.

Happy marriages of Siu Yok and Kai Lan. The smoky Siu Yok is the perfect enhancer for the earthy Kai Lan.

The stir fried vegetables with intestines deserve a nod too. The vegetables are fresh and crunchy, while the intestines are an excellent taste of the Chinese tradition.

These deep fried paper-wrapped chicken are marinated in oyster sauce and bean sauce. Even though this is not the best paper-wrapped chicken in town, it is still worth trying.

This plate of Sang Har Mee is worth going GAGA over. The humongous prawns coupled with deep fried noodles soaked in gravy, infused with ginger is worth every penny.

Thinly sliced beef and green onions are tucked among the silky soft Koay Teow. Each bite is packed with delicious beef and ginger taste.

The Sang Har Mee at Soo Kee has long been the city's best source of noodle. Each dish offers strong flavors that stand up to the diner's expectations. Not to mention, this meal would not be complete without a few glasses of ice cold beer.

Verdict : TOTALLY SMITTEN

Ah Weng Koh Hainan Tea @ Imbi Market

Optimism is sometimes a wonderful thing, but no always. On the food:

Surroundings - Imbi Market is a gem, situated near the Bukit Bintang area. This diminutive space offers a wide range of fresh products and dry food, but best of all it housed some of the most prominent hawkers stall and kopitiam in town.

Menu - Imbi market is a food paradise. To start, order the famous Ah Weng Koh Hainan Tea and some steam bread / roti bakar (toasted bread). Once done, head towards to the Chee Cheong Fun and Popiah stalls which are right next to each other. If you still have a few more calories to spare, I highly recommend a plate of Wan Tan Mee, which is absolutely delicious.

Things can get quite chaotic in morning. Be ready to fight for a table =)

The famous Ah Weng Koh Hainan Tea - Thick and aromatic. A great way to start your work day.

The Steam Bread are soft, warm and fluffy. Alternatively, you can opt for a Roti Bakar which is equally delicious.

This plate of Wan Tan Mee is worth all your calories. The springy noodles coupled with some Char Siu and Wanton is truly a comforting food.

Unlike the normal brown gravy, which are thick and creamy, the gravy here are thin and light. Not to mention the Yong Tau Foo here kick ass!

This place is truly a glutton's paradise....

Verdict: TOTALLY SMITTEN
