Kong Kee Seafood Restaurant

I first saw Kong Kee KL Fried Hokkien Mee advertisment on a cab 3 months back. It attracted my attention because it used to be one of my favourite food in Malaysia. This is a kind of forgotten goody food. Firstly, it's very fattening and not healthy. Being the health concious me, fried food is mostly avoided unless it is something that will give me YUMS factor. Secondly, I have tried a few stalls of fried fat noodles in Singapore (all claimed to be KL version), none was able to satisfy me.

Anyway, we went to Kong Kee Seafood restaurant yesterday. Don't ask me why it took so long but boy, I am glad we went there. Though the Fried Hokkien Mee was still not as good as the ones in KL, at least the taste was quite close. We prefer the fried pork lard to be crunchier and the noodle more springy. The texture of the noodle was a bit too soggy for my taste. For 5.00 bucks a plate, I think it is worth the price.

Apparently, for Kong Kee, aside from their famous KL Fried Hokkien Mee, they are also famous for their garoupa dishes. You can hardly miss ordering one of these since they posted and boasted about the garoupa dishes all over the wall in the restaurant. They have lots of varieties of dishes for Garoupa from steaming, stir frying to frying for almost every part of the fish: fish head, bones, fish belly, fish meat, the whole fish & etc. We just ordered the one they promote on the wall, "Black Bean Paste Garoupa Fish Head with Bittergourd".

The distinctive and special taste of this dish blew us away and earned a "WOW". The Garoupa fish head was fried until crunchy in bite size and later stir fried with their special black bean sauce and bittergourd. Although we have to pay a hefty 28.00 bucks for a small serving, we loved it so much and think it is quite worth paying. We are definitely going to have it again in the future :) and try out their other dishes.
