Chicken Lah, SS25, Petaling Jaya

I've been meaning to write this review but I never get to doing it. We've had KFC all this while and many franchisees came and some didn't even last long until Texas Chicken came about. 

I found out that there is another local fast food chicken chain that opened at Taman Bukit Mas, Petaling Jaya. The shop is facing the LDP, across from the LRT Kelana Jaya station. 

They are known as Winner's Fried Chicken, which are sold in food stalls, food courts and night markets since 1980s.

This year, they finally opened at a proper shoplot. Parking can be difficult to find, especially in the morning during office hour, but if you come here for dinner at night, it's a breeze to find one.

It's very similar to KFC, except I prefer theirs than KFC. They have burger set, chicken set and even family meals, snacks like keropok lekor, suggests and belacan wings and desserts; choice jelly ice-cream and banana fritters.

If you are nearby the neighbourhood during tea time from 2.30pm to 5.30pm, do stop by. They have tea time treats offered.

We ordered the 3 piece combo that came with a drink, mashed potato and coleslaw. 

3 piece combo RM15.90

I find their chicken's flour less floury than KFC. I've always avoided eating the chicken skin whenever I am eating at KFC and yes, I will peel off most of its skin away and just eat the meat alone. But, with this, for once, I don't even mind eating the skin. There's just something about the flour that I find it less greasy and oily and a little healthier.

Chicken Lah is definitely one of my favourite choices for chicken other than Texas Chicken.

Hanamaru Udon at Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur

This morning we decided to have a brunch first before the movie starts. We were deciding between Ippudo and Hanamaru Udon and seeing we don't have much time, we opted Hanamaru Udon. Yoshinoya and Hanamaru come under Texchem Resources Group 

This would be my third visit and his second visit. I was happy when they opened in Malaysia. We came across this similar concept of look and feel to the food itself when we were in Hong Kong last year. They co-share the space with Yoshinoya, hence, do expect seating to be limited during peak hour.

Service is moderate and servers behind counter are fast and sometimes, not so friendly. This is after all, a self-service and sometimes the queue is crazy during peak hours. Pricing is fairly reasonable and the food quality isn't bad. Their main specialty is udon but they have chawanmushi and tempura selections. 

They have fairly a few choices of udon for you to choose from; beef, curry, salad, spicy miso, clear miso, chicken broth or basic.

We decided to order Kitsune Udon and Tori Dash Udon. No side dishes this round since we were weren't super hungry. Tori Dashi's broth was nice but nothing to shout about. I love their udon . Very good texture and their clear broth is not super oily and still flavourful. 

Kitsune Udon (RM 8.80) Regular

Tori Dashi Udon (RM 10.80) Regular

The prices vary, depending on what you order. Regular is between RM7.80 to RM12.80 and for large bowl, price range will be between RM10.80 to 15.80. It's a suitable choice when you want to have a quick lunch/ dinner or even on a budget.
