Wok Hey, which pronounced same as “Wok Hei”, mean 锅气, directly translates as the gas of the wok. And now you could catch a glimpse of the how zi char stall operate!

Located in the basement of Bugis Junction, it is not difficult to miss the stall from its huge yellow signboard, if you come by train once you come up from the escalator, it's the first stall right in front of your sight.

"Pictures are for illustration purposes only" the pictures shown on the board might look too little but the portion is actually pretty big, enough to totally fill up my hungry stomach!

There are four items to choose from, egg fried rice, Shanghai fried rice, udon, and ramen.

Additional toppings are also available at $1 top-up.

There's a big range of toppings available including Sous Vide Egg, Thai Asparagus, Brussel Sprouts, Tobiko to even "Lap Cheong” Chicken Chinese sausage.

In the front of ordering counter, you could see how green and fresh were the toppings.

Something in my mind while waiting - Usually Wok hei achieved in restaurants and zi char stall under conditions of big intense heat. Can they do this within a small amount of space?

Was told to wait around 30 mins for my dish, so it better be worth it! So once you ordered, you can walk over to the left and look at 3 chefs cooking your dish in clear view.

So while waiting for your order, you can also find entertainment in observing the wok masters doing their simple yet skillful stir-fry tricks.

After a 30mins long wait, "Enjoy your wok hey!"

American-Chinese style box filled to the fullest in the box. It might look too little for you, but trust me it really does fill your stomach to the brim as well.

Something to improve on might be the chili, they only put in the chili, not mixed. I have to mix the chili myself when I am having this fried rice, it would be better if they are able to fry the chili with the fried rice. Let's go to taste, I like how they use Japanese rice to give good bite texture to the fried rice. The rice was seasoned well with generous amount of prawns, spring onions, and eggs.

It's good to say Wok Hey does have Wok Hei taste to their dishes.  

The only cons I have is they are only available for taking away as they do not have seats around.

Simple review for it - Tried, simply love it!

Restoran Meng Kee Grill Fish (明记烧鱼) - Fish taste just like Chicken?!

• Operating Hours: 6.00PM to 4.00AM
• Address: 39, Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang, 50200 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
• Operating Days: Daily except for Tuesdays
• Food I had: Belacan Fried Rice, Salted Egg Chicken, Chicken Fish(鸡肉鱼). 

As we were walking along the street, there were so many restaurants along the street selling all different kind of local food. The restaurant that caught my attention was Meng Kee Grill Fish because they have two restaurants along the street but separated by a few shops. So to make sure you are sitting at Meng Kee Grill Fish's table, make sure you are looking at menu indicating their shop name.

Another thing that caught our attention is one of the dishes called Chicken Fish. I did not know if these fish look like a chicken? It's a chicken with the fish combination?

We sat down and almost immediately a waitress came over to take the order, which is surprising as it was very crowded with customers but they were still very attentive. The waitress told us that chicken fish only have minimum 50RM size since we were there, let's try it!

The first dish is belacan fried rice, the fried golden rice covered with lots and lots of belacan chili, to our surprise the fried rice was not very spicy (to those who don't usually take spicy food). It was packed with simple condiments such shrimps and eggs, it's the belacan that lifted this fried rice out of ordinary.

Within few minutes after we ate almost 3/4 of the fried rice, salted egg chicken arrived on our table, the chicken at first glance looked like breast meat, which was not as tender, and the first bite of it proves me right. It was not fabulously a must order dish, the meat was dry even though it's drenched in salted egg sauce. The sauce was covered with condensed milk, although I could taste the salted egg, it was a very mild taste.

Lastly, the main reason why we are featuring this restaurant - Grilled chicken fish. As what you see in the photo, it does not look like chicken but strangely it taste not only just like chicken, the texture of it did resemble it too! Be sure to give this a try but beware this fish does contain lots of bones.

Don’t be limited to the food suggestions. Go ahead and explore this food street and taste anything that catches your fancy. Who knows? You just might have your own favorites at Jalan Alor.
