Restoran Ladu Wong Shi Fu Taiwan @ Seksyen 14, P.J
The restaurant that we initially wanted to try that I mentioned in THIS post was now replaced by Restoran Ladu Wong Shi Fu Taiwan. Like the previous Yap Noodles , this new occupant also open late at 11.30am, we went out late that Sunday due to the morning rain so we were there for lunch.
The set up is simple, no frills and comfortable.
Winter Melon Tea (RM4.90)
The menu isn’t exceptional extensive, basically there were only three main dishes – noodles (limited to dry noodles only), dumplings and fried rice.
Noodles with Dumpling (RM12.90)
The dry noodles was served with dumplings with choices of Pork & Prawn, Pork & Spring Onion, Pork & Cabbage, Pork & Chives. Plain dry noodles is also available at RM6.90.
The egg noodles (tasted like Wonton Mee) was cooked to a nice al-dente texture and tossed in pork lard oil infused soy sauce. The flavour was pretty run-off-the-mill, it’s nothing to complaint but wasn’t outstanding as well.
I got the dumplings with pork and cabbage filling. The hand kneaded dumpling skin was pleasantly springy and the meat filling was flavourful. The dumpling can be ordered ala carte, in either pan fried or boiled.
Taiwanese Fried Rice with Shrimps (RM19.90)
Hubby decided to “splurge” a bit to get the more “premium” fried rice with shrimps (without prawn RM15.90).
Short grain rice was used for this fried rice, I like the slightly sticky and glutinous texture of it however the dish was a bit moist to our liking. We would have hope for a drier rendition and could do with a bit more seasoning and “wok hei”. The simple egg and spring onion fried rice came with five plump and springy prawns.
If fried rice and noodles are too boring for you, there are Stir Fried Baby String Beans, Stir Fried Green Dragon Vegetables and Spicy Pickled Cucumber to enhance you dining experience.
Verdict: We have a few better dry noodles and fried rice options at my disposal. It’s safe to say that, it’s not one that I would eat again.
Restoran Ladu Wong Shi Fu Taiwan 黄师傅台湾水饺
The food here seems quite ordinary and I am not surprised there will not be future visits.
PH, exactly!
I think I’d gladly pay RM4 extra for 5 prawns…but from the translucent look of it, they may be frozen prawns. I really dislike places using cheap frozen prawns. That fried rice looks a lot like Din Tai Fung’s.
Kris, you mean you still willing to pay extra for frozen prawns? It has been quite some time since my last had DTF fried rice, so I can’t judge if this tasted like the former.
If I know it’s frozen prawns, then of course I won’t want to pay extra for it….lol. Frozen prawns have no sweetness at all especially the poor quality ones. I meant the fried rice looks (not taste) like DTF’s as they also fry it this way with just prawns, egg and spring onions.
