Klang, Selangor, Malaysia｜Restaurant Seafood Chiem Choo

Hiking friend intro us to this restoran, must try the chi hun ken (茨粉根) together with the dry shrimp sambal 🤤, oyster mee sua also very nice. Overall all the food we order is nice, price is reasonable too with the cozy place. Definitely will go back again.

Food is good but you must be prepared to wait. We were the first customers arriving at 11.30 and yet our last dish only came closer to 12.45! Must order dishes include the steamed shark head, the alkaline kueh with Dong Bo pork and the fried tapioca flour noodles. The kueh and Dong Bo pork goes very well together. The steamed shark fish head took more than an hour even though we were told 40 mins. But it was worth the wait. Filled with collagen and herbal soup to warm your stomach, it is not your average dish and not readily available elsewhere. The tapioca flour noodles is a dish from the old days when rice was expensive and tapioca was a commonly used starch as replacement carbohydrates. This place dries it like KL Hokkien Mee style but essentially you can do it any style you want including soup. Very nicely done. Not in the center of KL so access is not the easiest. Perhaps this is why the prices here are still reasonable. But I think I’ll be coming back for more.

Famed for their Tapioca Flour Noodles, we decided to head over to Chiem Choo to see what all the hype was about. Tapioca Flour Noodles Taste: Given that its made from tapioca flour, the noodles has a pretty interesting texture and was pretty chewy. Drizzled with lard and filled with wok hei goodness, it did look like a quite a messy dish but taste heavenly! Oyster Omelette Taste: Unlike the usually oyster omelette we were used to which is pretty starchy and chewy, this was slightly crispier and with a generous amount of oysters. Moist towards the center of the omelette and crispy on the outside. Pretty delicious! Fried Vegetables Taste: Vegetables were nice and crunchy and garnished perfectly with slices of garlic. Simple yet very delicious! Tong Po meat Taste: My my this was by far probably the most sinful dish on the table. The meat was nice and tender and pretty much melts in your mouth. The sauce was extremely flavourful and on the edge of salty but with the accompanying dishes was just fine. We have read about their service from others hence was mentally prepared. However, the owner greeted us with a warm smile and was pretty friendly. Therefore, all in all, it was a really good experience with great food! Our full review is on Instagram (@monk3yseendo)
