Restoran Chuan Kie, Gohtong Jaya @ Genting

After the fast(est) tour to Genting Highlands....
...due to we were starving actually....
Eventually I wanted to go to the Kampung Bukit Tinggi... but due to was about 6plus...
I not sure whether they still open for business.
We decided to head down back to Gohtong Jaya for dinner instead.

I read in other reviews that this Restaurant Chuan Kie had quite a good deal...
And since it received not bad review, we went for a try.

According to other foodies... they review that the Crispy Pork Belly is a must try....
We ordered.
Then came the server.... mistakenly placed a plate of crispy pork belly which is size (BIG)...
We got surprised as it's a lot...
Till he "changed" his hand... handed the actual plate to us....
Ok, that was more surprising... portion seriously quarter of the LARGE size.

Well, as a pork larver (ME).....
I don't really enjoy this dish much....
Yes, it's crispy and sticky.
I believe they cooked with marmite gravy, its's sweet just that I do not keen with the texture...
I prefer something softy (FAT) and meaty.
However, this dish I think most properly goes well with BEER. REALLY.

They serve fishes.... pretty expensive fish too.
Soon Hock cost RM15/100gm, Patin Hitam at RM13/100gm...
We settled with Talapia cost RM3/100gm!
Teochew style steamed Talapia fish....
The Talapia does have lots of meat though (well fed I guess)...
Steamed well with the pickled vegetables, black fungus, carrot, tofu...
However the fish got the smell of "muddy"  which we need to eat if chilli padi to kill off the taste.
The portion of the fish was pretty "generous"... too much to handle.

While we were freezing up in Genting Highlands...
Dumpty did mentioned she wanted soup... (she was wearing EXTREME short pants)
So since they do serve "sai yeung choy" - Watercress we ordered that.
And came........
This was the first time I had this type of cooking for "sai yeung choy soup.
Normally, it served either boiled for hours or herbal....
This type more to like instant style....
Lucky enough, it taste good.
Well... weird, yet good.... just that bit salty (according to Dumpty)
Maybe I should try to make this type of soup... soon.

Averagely, this is not a bad restaurant....
Good to try out as well.


I was not sure how much the price till I got to SMS Dumpty how much she paid.
I'm amazed.


PRICE: RM50 (ok ma...)

Price Range: RM5 - RM (depends the weight of the fishes)
Good For: Cheap food at the middle of the highland.....
Bad For: Talapia smells muddy.....

Vote: 4/5
