Serdang Little Kitchen Restaurant
I joined Ah Kit and his house mates for dinner during one of the evenings when I was bunking at his place. They brought me to this makeshift-from-a-house restaurant smacked right in the middle of Seri Kembangan Chinese New Village. The restaurant’s name is 沙登小厨美食馆 which loosely translated into Serdang’s Little Kitchen Restaurant.
It used to be a house, but has been turned into a restaurant, with plenty of tables and guests. Judging from the number of guests, I was pretty sure that either the taste was above average or the price was very cheap. There was a constant flow of customers in the shop.
We placed our orders and with three chefs working in the kitchen, it wasn’t too long when our dishes were being served. In fact, it was very fast compared to the number of customers they had at that moment.
Stir fried salted eggs with bitter gourd. It wasn’t very salty as they used just the right amount of salted eggs. The bitter gourds weren’t bitter at all as the egg yolks wrapped around the slices of bitter gourds like a piece of cloth. The dish was dry, hence, the slight crunchiness on the vegetable. Nice, in fact, it’s my first time eating bitter gourd this way. Unique, indeed.
They also ordered their tau fu which tasted rather average. You know, those seafood tau fu that they claimed to be their specialty dish but you get to eat them at any other Chinese restaurant.
Their deep fried calamari was absolutely fantastic, finger licking and crunchy-licious. It was really crunchy and appetizing. It has to do with the batter they used, as it was light and not too flourish. It was so crunchy that I thought I was eating some crackers / snacks and not squids. Heh!
Our last dish was the pork ribs in two flavours, the sweet and sour and mayonnaises. Not something to shout about yet something not to miss out, as it tasted quite nice. Normal for the dish, but nice for the taste. The colours of the garnishings (the “smelly” leaves and fried garlics) did complement each other; red and green, white and brown.
Best of all, there was a bowl of free soup for every table. Although not some fancy soup, but its free and nobody’s complaining.
The bill came up to RM48 for a table of four. That’s a freaking RM12 for a decent dinner, with meats, vegetables and tau fu. I don’t think you can get this price anywhere in KL. Not only the food was good, the price was cheap, no wonder there were so many people flocking to their restaurants throughout the night.
Honestly, I am going back there again and I am going to order a lot more dishes since the price is just way too cheap to be ignored. Worth a visit? Definitely.
Tiuniasing, you can try this restaurant, really!
