Andes BYO serves pork in many different ways – ways that not many restaurants around would do so. Since this was my first time to this restaurant, and after hearing some good comments about Andes’s pork burger, I ordered Andes’s Aussie Bacon Burger Wrap for RM15.90. The ingredients in the burger contains some of the basic stuffs you can get at any burger stalls/restaurants – tomatoes, onions, mayo, etc. And the side dishes – potato fries and coleslaw.

The burger was packed with flavour and the flavour was quite intense – porky, cheesy, mayo’i', and the salty bacon all wrap together. Everything was a bit too much for me.

Previously, almost everyday I find myself asking “What am I going to have for lunch today?”. As there are not many choices around my office area, I have now opted to have cereals for my lunch. Yes, very pathetic right. That’s the reason why I will not hesitate to travel further during the weekends for good food.

This time around, we went to Hai Lam Chicken Rice Shop at Jalan Nyonya, Pudu, Kuala Lumpur to find the famous roast pork that many locals had bragged and talked about. Some even claimed that they serves the best roast pork and that their roast pork is so good that they runs out fast.

Hai Lam’s Roast Pork is delicious but not as good as I expected it to be. If the skin is much crunchier, I would have enjoyed it better. Compared to Onn Kee at Jalan Kepong, I find the latter fares better than the former in terms of it’s taste and the texture of the meat.

Hai Lam’s Roasted Chicken on the other hand is much better than their roasted pork. It was so yummy that we polished it off within minutes. I suppose, there is a reason why they named themselves Hai Lam Chicken Rice and not Hai Lam Roasted Pork.

So, if you are unsure which is better, order them both and judge them for yourself. Note that, the roast pork doesn’t comes cheap. A strip of pork costs about RM14.00 and they only start selling the roast pork from 12.30pm until finish.

My advice, if you didn’t manage to try thei roast pork, don’t worry. Their roast chicken is very good as well.

It is not easy being a food blogger. The most difficult part is to find good post to be used as a topic. Yes, Malaysia is blessed with good and affordable food but I can honestly say here that I do not know much to enjoy the great food we have here in Malaysia. So the best way to discover great food still comes by the old fashion way which is by word of mouth.

I have heard about Keong Kee through a forumer one day but was quite skeptical about it as he mentioned that they serve great soup and wild boar curry. I remember asking myself. Soup? How great could that taste? Trusting his words, we went all the way to Kuala Lumpur that very night to try it out.

It turns out that this is our greatest find yet. The soup they served here are double-boiled, securing every flavour and every taste. It is just amazing. One thing I find interesting here is their Pigeon Herbal Soup. They added a whole pigeon in it.

The soup I love the most would be their Herbal Soup properly sealed in a Coconut.

The second best item I love here is the Wild Boar Curry. There is only one word that can be used to describe this dish – SPECTACULAR. The texture of the meat was just great. It wasn’t too tough and it wasn’t too soft. It was just right on the dot. The sweetness of the curry goes really well with the wild boar meat.

Moving on to the Salted Vegetable with Three Layered Pork, this dish is best had with rice. The pork just melts in our mouth. I loved it. This is a must ordered dish here.
