The Old School - Restorant Sang Kee @ Lorong Yap Ah Loy, KL



Restaurant Sang Kee is an old school Cantonese style eatery that said to be around for more than 50 years now. It carries a lot of memories of  many KLITES, who grown up in this area. It was my buddy, Chia Yuan nostalgic memories that brought us here for lunch. This dude was attending his high school near by. He will be the perfect person to follow when comes to eateries around Petaling street area. The location of this restaurant is so hidden that literally no outsiders can find the place. It is off Lorong Yap Ah Loy not that far from Petaling street and just a stone's throw away from MABA stadium. Old school eatery does not seems to operate based on today's business strategy of, to be location wise. They are simply good enough to just survive on the words of mouth instead. 

 My Prawn fried rice with pretty decent amount of fresh huge prawns. 

Tony's 上汤绘饭(Soup on rice) with plenty of ingredients such as pork slices and mixed vegs. 

CY's sweet & sour pork ribs with rice.

生江豆腐(Fried TaoFu over egg sauce). As according to CY, this dish reflects Cantonese culinary of having eggy gravy over fried TaoFu, mixed vegs, squid pieces and pork intestines. The same method  implemented in "Kong Fu Chaow" Cantonese fried.

My favourite of the day though, was the "Steam 3 kinds egg". The used of salted egg and century egg have both enhance and flourish this rather simple dish. Very flavourful to go with white rice. For the source of Vitamin C, we ordered another combination dish of vegetables namely, spinach, kangkung(watercrest) and sweet potato leafs fried with dried prawns. Taste wise, I find most of the dishes rather light and very much depends on the original taste of the ingredients used. Perhaps this is the authentic 古早味 (old school taste) which does not involve much use of artificial flavouring.

Restaurant Sang kee had been featured in an episode of <阿贤人情味>. Apparently their signature dishes include, sweet & sour pork and Sang Har Meen (Fresh prawn noodles). Which I would have order if I know it ealier. Well, maybe not the Sang Har Meen as the price might cause a bomb @ RM40 for two Sang Har. Our bills goes at RM54.50 for the 3 of us. Could have been cheaper if we order just white rice to go with the dishes.

Crap place and rude staff, was there today at 11am and was told by the staff to go elsewhere for a walk and come back later because they haven’t had their lunch and not ready. They don’t even have the courtesy to let me have a seat.
