Tien Tien Lai Restaurant (again), Off Jalan Pudu
Today after many mediocre and bad experiences around town, it’s confirmed. As such I need to get it off my tummy [since the load there is bigger than chest]. Here it goes...
Know where has the best Sweet & Sour Pork (Ku-Lou-Yuk)?
Meaty, fried with just the right amount of flour coating. The light gravy is not too sweet and do not overwhelm the tanginess brought on by the tomato sauce. I can have this at every meal, breakfast even! Can I have it as the only food I eat for the rest of my life? Err.. I’ll tell you after a month of intensive research. Munch munch munch.
Anyway, during our last Saturday brunch, besides THE best dish, Phitoy insisted on these:-
3 Yolks Egg (Sam-Wong-Tan). A mixture of lightly beaten plain egg, century egg and salted egg steamed into smooth custard. There’s some minced pork and bits of mushrooms at the bottom. Incidentally, to Phitoy this is their world’s best dish.
One trivial note:- No matter how many pax, the serving portion is the same as they use only plates of this size to steam.

Paid RM17 inclusive of 2 plates of white rice and 2 glasses of Chinese Tea.
Location:- Know the location of the Jalan Pudu Post Office opposite the Bomba? This shop is behind the Post Office. Close on Tuesdays.
Oh in my previous post it was Chinese New Year season so the stalls behind the shop towards the wet market was abuzz with all the loud music and garish ornaments. Now, take a leisure stroll to capture some adorable cat food.

i m still enjoying the perks of having a mom..maybe thats y i always wonder why ppl will order steam eggs outside when it is so easy to get at home..haha
tien tien lai? aiks, bidor also ada satu. :)
not branch huh?
sweet n sourpork used to be, and still is, one of my fav dish to order, whenever the choices are scarce. cant go wrong with it
Two of my all time favourite dishes!
Simple homecooked fare can taste so heavenly when done well. Siew yook cooked with anything is fine with me, hehe! There's also a Tien Tien Lai coffeeshop in Taipan USJ i think - a popular name for makan place eh!
NJoe, me mom far away & my steamed eggs are always full of craters.
j2kfm, doubt related. Was told that this place is ran by 7 brothers & wives who take care of all the cooking, taking orders and bookkeeping.
wmw, high 5!
pureglutton, somehow the siew yok there is below expectation.
Great writeup on Tien Tien Lai , hmmm there's one in Setapak too. Wonder if it is the same?
