Lao Di Fang, Taman Kota Laksamana

March 10th, 2008, Jason

I always wanted to try this place after being told by someone that the restaurant was featured by “Taste With Jason“. The shop is called “Lao Di Fan 老地方”, loosely translated as old place and is conveniently located at Taman Kota Laksamana.

The business hour is as stated in the photo. If you can’t read it, lunch hour is from 12 noon to 3pm and dinner time starts from 7pm to 10pm. However, it is advisable that you make a reservation few hours before your meal time. Contact number is 06-2830681 and 012-2760932.

They only serve can drinks though. Green tea, anyone?

We (Allison, Debbie and I) ordered their curry fish fillet, which tasted pretty well. It was cooked with coconut milk, giving it a very fragrant smell and thick sauce. Along came with pieces of lady fingers and brinjals. However, I reckon that the fish fillet should be pan fried a little to give it a better texture, especially on the outer side.


Deep fried chicken chunks with mayonnaise. Nothing special about it but the chicken was nicely deep fried and crunchy


This tasted absolutely just like the normal sweet and sour pork, except that its tau fu this time. There were bits of pineapple chunks, vegetables and corns in it. I find the the portion of the dish is a little on the smaller side. Nope, not recommended.


I wonder why the choi dam wasn’t crunchy as it supposed to be. Nicely stir fried with small shrimps.

The bill came up to roughly RM14 per head, just about the average price that I have expected before the dinner. While I don’t really know their signature dishes that made them being featured on “Taste With Jason”, I reckon that this place is still worth visiting, since there aren’t many decent Chinese restaurants in the town.
