Kam Long Curry Fish Head

Kam Long Restaurant / 亚福街金龙亚仔

Kam Long Restaurant (also known as Kam Long Curry Fish Head/ 亚福街金龙亚仔) is the only place that I know which supposedly serves curry fish head as early as 8am! While I've not verified if people eat curry fish head this early but looking at the numerous people eating in the shop at 10ish in the morning I wouldn't doubt!  (Update: went in oct 13 at 925am and the place was already packed!  And yes, I waited 25mins before I get to eat! There are people who really eat curry fish head this early!)

During lunch time, expect a long queue and waiting time.  I always try to go earlier to beat the crowd after learning a lesson on my maiden visit. However, if you are looking to takeaway, you'll be pleased that you can zoom all the way to the front and inform them that you want to "dabao".  And you can request for the fish to be cooked or uncooked.  They would pack the raw fish head (looks frozen to me), ingredients and their curry separately for those who prefer to cook at home.

Back to the curry fish head, since my first visit, I've been visiting the place almost once a week. I even "dabao" too when the queue is too long. :P  My sis asked me: "so nice meh?" whenever I sent her a photo of me conquering another claypot of curry fish head. Yes, it is nice.  Decently nice homecooked flavour. The fish served had been fresh on my visits so far. And she might not be aware, I loved eating fish and curry, and with this combo and the right taste - how can I miss it?!

大四喜香港点心 (Restoran TaSiXi)

 

Was woken up by someone early this morning to go in JB for a quick breakfast. I suggested to try out 大四喜 since we are early today. We have passed by 大四喜 a couple of times but it is always crowded and difficult to find parking lot. We reached 大四喜 around 8am and were glad that the crowd isn't there yet! But still there is a handful of people "yum cha-ing" there already. The restaurant is spacious and had a non smoking sign which I like!

Once we sat down, a staff came promptly to us to take our order. On and off there are staff carrying trays of Dim Sum to our table for our pick as well. In total, we had 8 dishes and 1 pot of Chinese tea. Each dish averages about RM 3 - RM 3.50 except for the Xiao Long Bao (小笼包) and the glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf (荷叶饭) which were RM 7 each.

hTop row:

Har Gau and fish cake (on left), Char Siew Pau (on right) 
 

Middle row:

Glutinous rice wrapped with Lotus Leaf (on left), Xiaolongbao and century porridge (on right)
 

Bottom row:

Hongshao Chicken feet (on left), Spare ribs (on right)

Among all these, I enjoyed the glutinous rice (荷叶饭), char siew pau (叉烧包), and the chicken feet (鸡脚). They were cooked and flavoured evenly (just right for me) - neither too sweet nor salty. The steamed xiaolongbao (小笼包) is pretty good too - just enough of meat (not too much) and you get a decent amount of soup when you bite into it (refer to image on top of the post).   

Overall, we are satisfied with the Dim Sum we had. The bill came up to RM 38.70.
If you are the type particular of the environment, you can consider this restaurant.
