Jinghua Restaurant next to the Forbidden City. I have eaten at the wedding banquet upstairs before and thought some of the meals were very exquisite and unique. This is my second visit to try out the restaurant's items. The restaurant is quaint and has a lot of history, but the environment is clean and doesn't feel old. There are also some antiques and paintings for decoration. I ordered a Champion Beef Noodle. The braised flavor was full of flavor. Although the meat did not melt in your mouth, it was quite comfortable and delicious. The noodles were homemade noodles with moderate hardness and not soggy. The shape of the bowl was very special. , a bit like the porcelain bowl of an incense burner, very heat-preserving. The fried rice with mullet roe has just the right salty flavor, and the fried rice has distinct grains, but it doesn't have the special characteristics of the Forbidden City. Xiaodiangang ordered the glutinous rice chicken and shrimp bean curd rolls, which were delicious. Personally, I don't think they taste the same as the dim sum you get in Hong Kong. Up and down. The most recommended one is the Dongpo Pork. It has a melt-in-your-mouth texture and is great. People who don’t dare to eat fatty meat may not want it because fat meat accounts for about 80% of the whole piece. The oil next to it makes people want to lose weight. people stay away. For dessert, I ordered grass jelly and lady's picture buns. The grass jelly tastes more like grass tea, and the creamer is not sweet. The lady's picture bun is super cute and can be used to take a lot of photos! Overall, there are still a lot of things that I want to eat that are very characteristic of the Forbidden City, but the two of us were so full after ordering these, we look forward to ordering other unique meals next time.

Lian Kee Chicken Rice
ChineseSubang Jaya
The place is a stall located inside the MeiSek Kopitiam. It operates in the evening as the morning and afternoon is for the other stalls. Drinks have to be ordered from the drinks stall via self-service. Parking is awailable but would be hard to find on busy days. I was expecting things to taste better as there were a number of patients dining in. The steam chicken and rice was just ordinary. The beansprouts lacked taste and were not crunchy. However, the redeeming qualities of the place was their wantan and pork balls. The wantan was full of flavourful stuffing and the chillie oil in the soup gave a nice kick to it. The pork balls were very good as well, with a firm springy texture. Price is pretty standard subang prices. Overall, i wont come here unless I am craving chicken rice and am unwilling to go to better places. While i am here, the porkballs and wantan is a must have.

Big Big Wantan-Mee & Rice Damansara Jaya
ChinesePetaling Jaya
Known for its wan tan mee, hence the name, decided to visit the shop. It's been a few years since i have been here and wanted to have it again. Parking is difficult to find on the road, with alot of people double parking. Might be better to park in the atria mall, though please note the parking fees isnt cheap. Had to wait a few minutes, as the lunch crowd was happening. Service was ok. To order, just write your order code on a piece of paper and pass to the staff. Food came relatively quickly but unfortunately the quality was lacking. The portion was big but the quantity of char siew was small. The char siew had the premium look but was tough and no crispy caramel parts. The caramel parts were abit sweet and sticky instead. The noodles was decent and the sauce paired well with it. However, in the past there were pork lards placed along the noodles. The wantans, though packed with filling; just tasted normal. They only had 3 pieces only. The white coffee was terrible. It was very diluted with no flavour at all. The payment option of cash was very dissapointing, especially since almost every other place has atleast a qr paying option. I can imagine this point alone will put off alot of customers. Overall, i wont really come back unless i really really want to eat wan tan mee. Its just slighly above mediocre wan tan mee but definitely not living up to its name.

時時香RICE BAR 宜蘭新月店
ChineseYilan County
This is a chain restaurant that's present in a lot of malls, and generally popular. We were quite late for our lunch (2pm) but was happy to see that this place was still open. The food was very satisfying. The dishes came out all fairly quickly except for the meatball dish. At that point we were pretty much already ready to go at that point, so the only negative side to our experience. That meatball dish was also very good though. I found all of the flavors very familiar and comforting for Chinese food. The omelette with pickled radish especially was nice, the inside was soft and the radish had just the right amount of salt. Service was nice and attentive, though expected since we were the only ones present besides one other party.
