Bao Gong XO Fish Head Bee Hoon

My brother recommend us to this place to tried out their famous XO Fish Head Bee Hoon but too bad for me as I am allergy to alcohol so I just took a tiny sip. The milky soup is  overwhelmed by the strong XO taste but it doesn't taste bitter but sweet. I took the sliced fish meat bee hoon without the XO, loved the milky soup which has nice fragrant smell of sesame oil and a touch of hua tiao jiu (chinese cooking wine). Instead of thinly sliced fish meat in the bee hoon they served chunk of fried fish meat. The fish is very fresh with no stinky fishy smell at all. But somehow I feel quite thirsty after drinking the soup.

We also ordered some side dish to go along, ngoh hiang (prawn roll), prawn paste chicken and cereal brinjal. Ngoh Hiang skin is slight crispy and goes well with the sweet sauce, Prawn paste chicken has always been my favourite but for this I find the prawn paste is not strong and fragrant enough. Cereal Brinjal? This is my first time tasting it and I am a person who don't fancy brinjal, I find it yucky
But this dish really suprise me, it taste like cereal prawn just that it was replace by brinjal and best of all the taste of brinjal is very light and crispy

Total bill comes up to $52, worth to come back again.

Shun Fa Bak Kut Teh @ Permas Jaya JB

Had my favourite herbal bak kut teh over the weekend at Permas Jaya JB. I miss their bak kut teh and when I wanted to blog on this, I realise they have another outlet at Taman Sentosa as well. Heard from one of my collegue their ba kut teh are quite famous in JB.

Their menu is written very big on a board mount on the wall. When the guy came and take our order we asked for his suggestion and he also asked if we wanted additional ingredients like pig intestine, golden mushroom etc... We also ordered their sesame chicken which is served in a claypot to tried out. One thing to take note, remember to ordered their ginseng drink which is their specialist here. I get to know after seeing alot of people ordering it and it taste very freshing and sweet.

The bak ku teh soup is served in a claypot has well, the taste of the herbal is neither too strong or too light just nice, perfect! Just a little dissapointment that the meat is not tender enough if not it will be great. The guy miss out our yu tiao . As for the sesame chicken, it is sweet, tender and has a strong hua tiao chiew (chinese cooking wine) taste. Love the sauce from the chicken, thick and sweet goes well with the white rice.

Total bill come up to $46.50RM which I felt is reasonable enough for the mixed soup, sesame chicken, 3 rice and 3 drinks. I will tried their another oulet when I come into JB again
