A supposed planned anniversary dinner at a fine dining restaurant in Petaling Jaya ended in Taman Desa, Jalan Klang Lama. Reason?? Traffic leading to the Federal Highway was chaotic and everyone was hungry!
As it was already 1930, way past the kids’ usual dinner time, we decided to detour and drove straight to this restaurant by the name of Lap Ming Kuan in Taman Desa. I spotted it a while ago and now seems a perfect time to try it. Hope it’s good!
Steamed Grouper @ (清蒸石斑) RM 30.00 ~ Fresh but pathetically small! Suffice for T & E only! Wifey and I only had a bite! An 8/10 for taste but only a 4/10 for value!
Stir-fry HK Chinese Cabbage (清炒香港奶白) @ RM 10.00 ~ I’ve always liked this! Fresh and crunchy! An 8/10!
Preserved Vege & Water Chestnut Steamed Meat Cake (蒸马蹄猪肉饼) @ RM 15.00 ~ We ordered this dish specifically for E as it’s his favourite! He did not enjoy it too much with the presence of water chestnut. Mama’s (grandma’s) still the best, he commented! A 6/10!
Steamed Sea Red Flower Crab (清蒸海花蟹) @ RM 30.00 (3 crabs) ~Meat was sweet. Price is very reasonable. Good! A 10/10!
Clams in Superior Broth (上汤啦啦) @ RM 15.00 ~ Clams slightly overcooked hence rubbery. Broth was ok. A 6/10!
LMK has a simple and comfy setup which is good for a family gathering or perhaps hosting some friends. “Might” return to savour other dishes if I’m around the neighborhood.
