Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee @ Petaling Jaya

One of the famous and good Hokkien mee shop in Petaling Jaya. Good place to have dinner or supper since its located just opposite of Starling Mall. The popularity also could be due to many nightlife drinking place around the area and people come here to have their supper after drinking or clubbing since they open until 2.30am.

Taste:8/10(Good. Although this restaurant name is hokkien mee and known for their signature dish, but I found out their hokkien beehoon taste better. Advantage that they have is their crunchy pork lard which is yummy).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Selling at MYR11 for a portion of the hokkien noodles. This at the air-conditioned side of the restaurant. Not sure about non air-conditioned side. Service wise is like they are lack of people. Parking is a problem here).

Lovely speakeasy bar at 61 Monarchy @ Damansara Uptown, Petaling Jaya

61 Monarchy is a nice hidden speakeasy whiskey bar in Damansara Uptown. Wide range of whiskey cocktails to try and they have good pan seared scallops in ponzu teriyaki sauce with bonito flakes. The ambiance here is fantastic and very nice decoration. The seat here is quite limited if you have big group. If you would like to explore the whiskey from around the world, you would like this place as they have so many selection and their bartenders are friendly as well.

Mongolian steamboat from Xiao Fei Yang (XFY) Steamboat restaurant @ Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya

Xiao Fei Yang is a chain restaurant serving spicy ma la style of steamboat. Their soup is delicious and flavourful. They have many ingredients to choose to put into the soup eg sliced mutton, special pork balls, fried fish skin and dumplings. I do enjoy the sauces area where you can mix different kind of sauces and ingredients to eat it with your food. Other than the hidden charges, this place has good food to savour.

Taste:8/10(Good. No doubt that their soup is the main attraction. Do go for combination soup of ma la and herbal soup. In the ma la soup you can eat much of the ingredients and spices there. Good to increase body heat. Make sure to order their fried fish skin and special pork balls).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Even though their soup is great, they charge MYR24.00 for it. Make sure you drink the soup a lot and finish the ingredient inside there. Also, you may noticed that their bowls, spoons, chopsticks are sealed in a wrapper for hygiene purposes. They charge those wrapper for MYR1.00 each. For me, it's weird that they charge it that way. The tea they charge by the number of person even though we ordered 1 pot. Prices for all the ordered items as below: slices mutton at MYR21.00, sliced pork at MYR14.00, home made pork ball at MYR9.00, fish noodles at MYR8.00, dumplings at MYR8.00 and vegetables at MYR6.00 for each plate).
