Shanghai 10 Grand @ Avenue K

Sick almost 2 weeks already after infected by SG... Anyway, life still continues, and I have a small request here. Finally my plan to visit Hong Kong and Macau is on, but I have yet to schedule what to do, where to visit and the most important, what to eat. I'm not sure if fellow floggers (you) have any idea, or if you already have such a few days schedule on hand, please share with me, thank you in advance here!

When Shanghai 10 Avenue K first opened early this year, I concluded it's not good after our first visit, when they still don't have their complete menu ready yet. After a few months, I decided to dine at Shanghai 10 again due to limited choice around KLCC.

We've ordered the usual Shanghai xiao long bao (灌汤小笼包 RM8) and crab roe xiao long bao (蟹王小笼包 RM12), I must say this not too impressive, but overall I'm still okay with it especially can have non-halal food here.

Tried their gravy La Mian before but it turned out not good at all, so we go for some simple stuff this time. This La Mian (榨菜肉丝拉面 RM9.80) surprisingly not bad. Clear soup and simple ingredients, but have added SG's favourite pressed vegetable, very suitable for patient like me ;-)

To add more porky feel to our dinner, I've tried their Ribs (杏香排骨 RM18). If you like sweet and sour and almond, you should try this next time. This is good and I always accompany my noodles nowadays with small plate of these. So beside their individual meal, their a la carte dishes could be a good choice too, will try again next time.

Lai Foong Beef Noodle @ Jalan Tun HS Lee

Ah... another month I didn't make 4 posts per month, what a shame... anyway, still trying my best.

Lai Foong is located not too far away from Petaling Street, for those that working in that area, you probably always buy the famous Tong Kee egg tart there. The stall has been there for so many years, attracted by the stall because of the beef parts hanging there, really can't resist to give it a try every time I walk by.

Maybe you want to compare Lai Foong beef noodle with Ngau Kee or Soong Kee, but I think it can't be compared simply because it's not the same. Perhaps the boss concern about the beef's smell which most people don't like, therefore they've added some preserved vegetable, but to me this is still not a good choice for first timer who wants to explore into beef ;-)

This bowl of beef noodle cost me around RM 5, all parts are well prepared including the soup, and good thing is I didn't feel much MSG added. There is another beef noodle (Shin Kee) just opposite Lai Foong, but I heard it always packed so will only give it a try when I have early lunch next time.
