Yat Mun Restaurant, Puchong – Good New Taste


This is actually a branch of the famous Hou Moon Restaurant in Jalan Hip Hing in Klang. My sister in law introduced me to this place and herein I discovered a few new dishes that I never tasted before. The parking lots were all full when we arrived and after dropping my family in front of the restaurant I have to round the place a few times to find a parking lot near it. Boy, the Majlis Bandaraya (Town Council) should look into the one way street road system in here which is really tough to drive around! Finally I found a place next to Giant Bandar Puteri and I have to walk a short distance to Yat Mun. Anyway, by the time I sat down for just 2 minutes, the first dish was already being served. This really a fast service, in view that most of the table were full with diners on a Saturday night.
The first dish that came was the Seng Kua Tofu (Luffa Acutangula, Petola). Funny, it is always the first dish that tastes the best. Maybe we were too hungry that time! LOL!
Next came the stir fried spinach. The taste is new to me and this is the first time I had spinach fried with dried cuttle fish. The thick gravy is very nice and savoury! Thumbs up!
Then the brinjals (egg plants) with long beans dish was served. The brinjals are fried to perfection and they are very tender in contrast to the crunchy long beans! I can taste the nice aroma of soya sauce and dried prawns! Another thumb up!
I really love the steamed prawns. The gravy is very special and this is the first time I ate prawn that are cooked this way. I was trying to figure out what they put into the gravy by tasting it many time. At last I found they put in century eggs as one of the ingredients! Thumb up again!
We also ordered steam red snapper with salted vegetable. The fish is full of meat and all of us were struggling to finish it because we were quite full by that time. Anyway, with 2 restless kids around, we don’t have the luxury of slowing enjoying our food. The fish is fresh and the gravy is full of nice natural sweetness!
As usual, we would order deep fried sotong (squid) for the kids. Nothing special but they are very crispy!
The total bill for 9 adults and 2 toddlers came up to be RM177.

My daughter loves the deep fried sotong too. Dunno why? Not much taste - I would prefer prawns or even fish.
