I was at Great World City today & saw a poster for the restaurant's paper wrapped chicken. It looked appetising enough, so we went there for lunch.
We ordered 3 of their dishes - prawn vermicelli (dong fen) in claypot ($16.80), potato leaves in XO sauce ($9.80) & the paper wrapped chicken ($16.80).
Although their prices don't look that attractive at first glance, you'll be pleasantly surprised by their relatively large portions & the quality of the food.
The prawn vermicelli came chockful of large, succulent prawns. It was a little spicy, a little salty, & overall, whetted the appetite for the other delicious dishes to come.
Potato leaves in XO sauce was fragrant & possessed enough of the "wok hei", & even though we were stuffed by this time after finishing the huge chicken, we were reluctant to leave any behind & cleaned out the plate.
The chicken doesn't look as appetising compared to the other 2, but you'll be surprised at how juicy, tender & delicious it is. The gravy is flavourful & tastes strongly of herbs. It comes with a generous sprinkling of wolfberries.
All-in-all, superb value for the rather generous portions of meat & seafood, & the refined cooking. Plus, you get to dine in airconditioned comfort, with pretty nice furnishings to boot! Oh, I mustn't forget to commend the service, which was wonderful compared to other chinese restaurants.

Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.

I'm not sure exactly where the original Leong Kee moved to, but I believe the one at Sultan Gate is still there. I also saw one at junction of Jln Besar and Hindoo road. Just at the junction before beancurd city

Hi Jamerie,
Thanks for the tip. I've updated the typos in the review.

hi!
The bak kut teh at this place is Klang style. If you refering to the peppery style Bak Kut Teh you typically find in Singapore, then this is not the place for you.
For the peppery style one, the famous ones are probably ones are Balestier Road or the one at Tanjong Pagar complex. For me, I usually just go to Song Fa at Rochor which is decent for me, and more convenient as well.

I don't remember if i'd ever come across cheap and nice seafood in KL...I suggest you to plan a trip to Sabah, that's really what I call heaven for seafood lovers. ;-)
