Restoran Kang Le U Tiao 康乐油条, Cheras, KL

With a name like "Kang Le U Tiao" 康乐油条, what do you think the restaurant specialises in? Yup, it's you tiao also known as fried Chinese cruellers or yau char kwai or cakoi. As soon as you step through the restaurant, you will see workers frying batches of them in large woks, as well as various other fried dough items such as ham chin peng, kap chung, ma kiok, glutinous rice balls (jin dui) and nian gao with sweet potato.

Other than that, they also have economy meehoon (dark soy sauce or tom yum), mee, fried rice, kuay teow, fried chicken, fried egg, chee cheong fun, fishballs, fish cakes, dim sum, bak zhang and tong sui.

They operate a self service system here (except for the chee cheong fun and tong sui); help yourself to the dishes and pay before you eat. I've eaten both versions of their meehoon, and they're tasty, especially with the slightly sweet sambal. Love it!

Bak zhang, all year round

The bak zhang (RM5.50) is moist and flavorful, and comes with a chunk of pork belly, mushrooms and black-eyed beans. Very yummy.

They offer around 5 types of tong sui daily. The names of the tong sui can be found in English/Chinese above the pots. I had the fu chuk yi mai which was nice and smooth and not too sweet.

Of course, one must try the fried items here. They replenish them regularly, which is nice cos you get enjoy them fresh off the stove. I think most of the fried items are priced at RM1 each... we like the yau char kwai, kap chung (with glutinous rice filling), jin dui (with red bean filling) and the nian gao sandwiched between sweet potato slices. The only downside of this place is that the ventilation is pretty poor and they do all the cooking at the front, so you'll end up walking out of this place smelling of food.

Note: Kang Le stands for Connaught.

Opening times: 7am to 6pm.

Price: Total bill RM18.
