Restoran Peng Heong Hakka Paikut @ Klang

Anybody wants pork ribs? ME! *waves frantically*

A day before my Friday roadshows, Long Legs was sharing with me a place that was touted to serve raving porb ribs (排骨) in Klang. It was supposively located near my roadshow outlet.

Me, being super cacated and directionally-crippled in Klang, had thought there were no hopes in locating it. Thus, I really must thank my Klang-based colleague, Sharon for bringing me there!

Restoran Peng Heong Hakka Pai Kut has an extensive menu. Its pork ribs is certainly the definitive dish there as its ubiquitous presence was on each table. We saw many patrons ordering other dishes such as mutton curry, spicy and sour mustard and vinegar pork trotters as well. Food was served very fast, and the servers were friendly and helpful. The premise was also very clean and comfortable to be in.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, choose your chilli dips.


The redder one on the left was sweet and has a faint piquant taste of something that I'm not sure of, like plum? It could be an acquired taste for some because one of my colleagues didn't touch hers after a taste. The one on the right was the garlic and ginger chilli normally served with chicken rice.

Now for the star of the visit!

The Hakka Pai Kut

RM 8 worth of carnage here. The meat was well marinated (I could taste ginger or galangal). Deep fried and drenched (or simmered) in a thin sweetish sauce, each morsel was a delight to indulge in. Upon my first bite, I was thinking: This is so soft and tender, it doesn't feel like pork ribs at all (...you know, those annoying ones that gets its meat fibers stuck in your teeth). Now we know why the shop was packed to the brim... worthwhile coming for.


Assam fish is priced by size. You can order it from RM 5 up till RM 8. This fell short of expectation, for me at least. I love my assam fish on the fiery and sourish side. The sauce was too sweet and wasn't spicy enough. My colleagues like it coz it wasn't spicy. I must say, the fish was fresh though. Can taste the subtle sweetness (umami).


These balls were priced at RM 1 a pop. So RM 3 worth of balls here. Not a shout-out-loud dish. Somehow or rather, it has a taste remniscent of "wu kok" (芋角). Goes well with the special chilli.

We also ordered stir fried lettuce for roughage. Lightly stir fried and still retaining its crispness, the vege was only RM 3. They actually had a RM 2 portion too! Dirt cheap.

Another must mention is their rice. Oiled rice (油飯) is served here. It was really fragrant, cooked with stock. They have thick and dark soya sauce on the table for you to drizzle your oiled rice with as well.




Total damage = RM 24 (inclusive of 4 rice and a drink).
Rice was RM 0.50 per bowl.

This is a place that I won't mind returning for again as its food is really affordable and delightful. Now, I can't wait to try the other dishes. Happie Sunday, y'all!

Unposted food adventures aplenty and yet I chose the most recent one to blog about. Sorry, my bad. But...but... it's porcine, you see... and I... you know... it... sigh...

Mr Buu stole some time to have lunch with me yesterday and we decided to visit the German place which was a stone's throw away from me office. We were the only customers around and hence, service was prompt and personal.

Both Buu and me went for the set lunch. Buu chose pork chops as his mains while the witch dived for the pork stew which sounded mighty comforting. We were given the choice of a soup and 2 side dishes each. I was curious about how a potato soup would taste like and opted for it and keju-giler Buu gleefully selected the cheese soup.

Food here appears to be made from scratch. I love how homely the soups tasted. It was none of the condense gunk we get from cans. Pleasant surprise, definitely. My potato soup was sweet and reminded me of the corn soup mum used to make at home. However, my throat felt tight after a few spoons. Wonder if it's because of the salt. The sensation was akin to tasting tomato paste in its raw form and having the throat tightening from the tartness. On the other hand, Buu's cheese soup was lovely. It had minced pork, celery, onions and a subtle hint of cheese. Tastewise, delicate and not meant to overwhelm.




The pork chop was the winner of the day as it stole our hearts away with its juicy texture. Well-marinated and tender, it was porcine heaven unfolding in full glory. Yut Kee's Hainanese Pork Chop pales so much in comparison to this. The latter's pork chop had never impressed me with its dry texture. The sight of the pink flesh on the former makes me wish I had ordered that instead. Extremely alluring~ I could only sneak envious looks while Buu relished in his bliss.

Buu had a side of french fries and mashed potatoes. The fries was forgettable and the mash was pretty plain too but served a purpose as I discovered later.







My pork stew came with 5 meaty pork balls swimming in it, which I couldn't finish. They were very filling but rather ordinary tasting. The stew was hearty and very rich and had bits of carrot. The side of toasted multigrain bread came in handy to mop the sinful liquid up. I must say the cook was rather heavy handed with the salt. I'd wanted to finish the stew but gave up due to the saltiness.


Me fren Bob says he likes the bread!

The bread was good, warm on arrival with cold butter on side. Part of me much wished it was salted instead of unsalted. lolx. Terrible, I noes. I hereby pronounce myself guilty as a nutritionist led by my olfactory senses instead of health preachings. >_<

Apart from bread, the parsley scented mash also helped me to neutralise the saltiness of the stew. It was therefore plain for a good reason. Initially I'd been hankering to taste some sauerkraut. Hence I was more than a tad disappointed when the server informed us that they had no sauerkraut that day. eeeek. The blasphemy is tantamount to visiting a Thai restaurant without tasting its kerabu or tom yam. Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little. Better luck next time.

The rich meal was washed down with a tall glass of cold & refreshing Limonade (RM 5). We enjoyed the lemony-ness as it was just right and not too tart. Nice to burn the fats. So we wished. hee.

Set lunch is priced at RM 16.50
