Chapter 55 – Angcle Peoh @ Bukit Tinggi Klang

Stepping out from the house always make me wonder where to go and what to eat. I am always in the dilemma especially weekend because things can get really bored if we are to eat the same food again and again.

Though I am now craving for Korean food, my appetite was well taken care of during the weekend where I had a reasonable Penang food. Despite the taste that is not really similar with what I usually get in Penang, at least, I do not need to drive all the way to Penang in order to satisfy my taste buds.

Located at Bukit Tinggi, Klang, the history of Angcle Peoh actually started since 1950 when Uncle Peoh’s mom was a good cook. In that era, she carried all the laksa ingredients, walked 4km from her house to Ayer Itam market and sold laksa at the side of the bridge. When Uncle Peoh was 7, he started to help his mum at the market and thereafter, they owned their first bicycle which made it easier to carry the rattan basket. At the age of 17, they owned a pedicab and 27 years of hard work later, Uncle Peoh owned a small lorry.

Cut the history short, today, everyone knows what Penang Ayer Itam Asam Laksa is. The brand name “Angcle Peoh” is used as “Ang” is Uncle Peoh’s surname.

When you hit the store, it is a must to order a bowl of Asam Laksa.

Asam Laksa

RM 6.90

I was not really fascinated with the Asam Laksa. As I am a person who craze for intense flavour, I feel that the Asam Laksa would taste better if the soup is more concentrated as well as more “Har Goh” is given. Right now, the soup is a bit diluted compared to the Asam Laksa in Penang.

Fried Tom Yam Mee

RM 9.90

Somehow, I prefer this – though there is nothing special with this noodle, the tom yam taste is something that I must applaud. Heavily enveloped the maggi noodle with Tom Yam taste, squids and bean sprouts, this dish is best to be eaten when it’s hot. It is a little spicy but it is my favourite thus far.

Fried Kuay Teow with Chicken Egg

RM 6.90

For a good plate of Char Kuey Teow, “wok hei” plays a very important role. In Angcle Peoh, the fried kuey teow is so-so only. Giving generous amount of cockles, bean sprouts, and prawns, I feel that the dish is lack of “wok hei” and it is rather oily. However, my friend who ordered a plate of Fried Kuey Teow with Duck Egg praised the dish – so, if you want to try, I would reckon to order Fried Kuey Teow with Duck Egg (RM 8.90) instead of Chicken Egg.

Curry Mee

RM 6.90

The presentation is really nice! It comes with a rendang chicken, tao pok and cockles. It smells good at first but the taste is rather blatant. It is not spicy despite the colour of the gravy looks red.

Overall, the food here is OK and price is reasonable. However, the taste of the food definitely cannot beat the original taste in Penang. I have no idea why. Once a while, if you crave for Penang food, you can have the short-term satisfaction at Angcle Peoh in Bukit Tinggi, Klang while, planning for a trip down to Penang during your free time.

Angcle Peoh is located at 42, Lorong Batu Nilam 21B, Bandar Bukit Tinggi 2, 41200 Klang, Selangor. It opens from 9am to 9pm on Mondays to Sundays.

Chapter 45 – Dinner @ Pu Tien restaurant, 1Utama

Good things will come to those who wait J Personally, I don’t really believe this as I feel that the longer you wait, the more disappointment you will get. However, this rings untrue now to me because I am actually blessed with many good things in life due to my patience of waiting, for sure! Though I might have missed the boat for not getting into a certain place, I am now truly thrilled that I have a better option now. And I believe that more good things are coming into my way.

Last two weeks, one of my close working colleagues (also, one of my best friends) decided to take a big step and start a new chapter in her life by moving to another company. I give her my blessings as I believe she deserves a better offer out there. Though we might be filled with little sadness, it didn’t stop us from having a good, proper dinner. Hence, we went to Pu Tien restaurant at 1Utama.

To be frank, it was my first time there. I didn’t know much about the restaurant thus, I followed with the flow as well as allowing my eyes to feast around in case I could order something nice for my tummy. Upon browsing through the menu, the first thing that caught my attention was COCKLEESS!! Quickly, I made the say to order a plate of Drunken Cockles while, my friends ordered something else.

Drunken Cockles - RM 9.90

My favourite dish for the day! Cockles are my favourite food since young – I can even eat them even though they are raw. I know this sounds creepy but I enjoy the feeling of letting the “BLOOD” to burst in my mouth. Haha!

To kickstart our great dinner, we had a bowl of cabbage soup. And I must say it was truly enriching! With a plethora of green vegetables plus beancurd, it somehow eased my soul that at least, I did not bombard myself with lots of carbohydrates. In such a cold weather, a hot bowl of soup is always soothing and nice to have.

Cabbage soup (S) - RM 22.50

I looked at this dish a few times before I decided to take a piece. I was wondering why did it cover with fats and where was the meat? Neither did I know that pork trottle did not have much meat in it as it is filled with lots of tendons. Apparently, this dish is good for your tendons especially the hands area. In any case, I was not really a big fan of it – it’s good to have it once a while but not so frequent-lah!

Pig Trotter - RM 7.90 for a piece

Ohh..I love this vegetable! A simple dish accompanied with three different type(s) of eggs – it was totally yummy.

Spinach - RM 17.90

Overall, our bill came up to RM111.00 where each of us had also a bowl of cabbage fried rice; price was quite reasonable actually as three of us felt very full after that. Of course, we have lots of grandmother story to share but unfortunately, the restaurant started hinting and chasing us off. Well, that was nearly 10pm, so, I guess not only were they prepared to close, that applied to the mall too.

Pu Tien restaurant is located at G-213A, Ground Floor Promenade, 1 Utama Shopping Centre (Old Wing), No.1 Lebuh Bandar Utama City Centre, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
