文良港最正美食Best Foodie Haunts in Setapak

Dear friends
I usually take advises from my fans, for instance this episode to feature Setapak was requested by a few of you. There goes for Taman Muda, Serdang, OUG, Taman Midah etc. Of course there are some places which were also requested by you which I’ve yet to do. Please be patient, I would definitely feature them, especially if those locations are in KL. Don’t mean to disappoint you but I will not be in a hurry to do a vegetarian episode which was also requested by some of you. Judging from the poor viewership of my former leicha episode, another vegetarian episode doesn’t seem advisable. Also I might not be the best person to feature vegetarian since I’m a staunched meat eater. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying no, I might surprise you one day. Meanwhile please go out and support the local street food, be it in Setapak or otherwise. Thanks and catch you in the next.

@@RockNRollAlex93 its an old area which is rapidly being redeveloped. Its easy to reach into KL but security wise may be bit lacking in non guarded areas. The new condo's should be OK

Me too. When I was child the biscuit factory area are all wooden house. Now everything changed accept shell station still there.

Good one Elmo - this time featuring Setapak 👍. I would say it's a good spread of different food / dishes !!! The hokkien fried mee while being stir fried at Lian Bee restaurant looks so "Wok Hei" sufficient and again makes me mouth watering !!! Very good indeed. It's also worth to note on hawkers who spend many years of their hardworking life preparing the food for the public- truly a noble effort by all of them ( some as long as 40 years or more ). Thank you very much Elmo and also not forgetting Danny for this interesting and down to earth food haunting episode. Yatt Lau !!! Mou Tat Deng !!!👌👌👌

Good job, Elmo Lee. 👍

[@howardchan5424]

Well done Elmo. You are doing a great job in helping promote these food businesses coming out of long MCO hiatus. If I could suggest, ranking these businesses not only on the food quality but also on the cutlery the food is served with. Even in Vietnam, the humblest street food where one has to almost squat is served using ceramic bowls/plates. Melamine cutlery is hardly ever used there. I often wondered why they could do so but not so much here in Malaysia. I feel we need to encourage vendors to up their game in this respect as all know presentation is vital. And I also feel you're in an excellent position to influence things. Keep up the excellent work. p/s: I'm not in any cutlery business whether melamine, ceramic or otherwise, just concerned about the small risks we're taking with melamine in general esp. when served with hot food.

[@malaysiafood328]

Very good observation Howard

[@cheahchunkit5046]

Oh my .. setapak aka " Biscuit factory " .. it has been ages since i visited there. So much have change . Those days there were plenty of good & cheap foods available. I remember in sri rampai there was an Uncle that sold " egg rice ".. basically egg omelet with rice and he even gave flat discounts to student , all you need is to show your student card . Thanks Elmo for featuring the " new" Setapak food area..surely will make a trip back there

You didn’t cover Setapak more famous food such as teochew restaurant, ah pui loh mee, genting klang fried chicken rice.

[@malaysiafood328]

Maybe Chapter 2

[@johnchong5774]

I used to stay in Taman Fulong, now Taman P Ramli if I'm not mistaken during my college time. Mixed rice served in kopitiams along the main street was unbelievably cheap ( rm1.2 if my memory serves me right), I felt replete with the portions served most of the time, and last but not least, we were allowed to refill our Chinese ice tea as many times as we can take! The only drawback was the rental for room was exorbitant, rm100 per person, room shared by 4, and we were requested by the landlord to feed his German shepherd when he's not around. Mustn't forget that was 30 over years ago! A lot of food stalls and eateries over there, but I patronized most were those kopitiams mentioned earlier as an indigent student back then, poor me.

[@malaysiafood328]

Wow John u really went through a lot

[@Eskimo-kd6dl]

Now the food there no longer cheap

[@cheahchunkit5046]

Yes.. chap fan along TBR was only RM 1.50 with free re-fill of soup and chinese tea. The chicken rice by the bus stop was RM 3.00 and that i only ate one every 2 weeks.... had to save money for rental as well

[@yuukikey729]

I can’t believe how timing works between us. I just went to Setapak last week for the first time in last 20 years. Reason is the India High Commission is there and they asked for interview to assess my visa application. Experience was poor and I got infected with covid after that. I thought I won’t go back there again but after this video, I might change my mind.

Kelate 是吉兰丹华人(福建暹)对Kelantan的口语称呼。 因为融入的时间很长(5~600年)，所以也影响了 当地马来人用 Kelate 来称呼 Kelantan.

Boss, your comments have been quite elaborate, but at Setapak Jaya Pasar Tepi Jalan, yo have surely missed the homemade Panmee stall located between mamak stalls. The noodles and coffee are second to none within this market place.

[@malaysiafood328]

For info, this Setapak Jaya homemade panmee stall closes on Mon, Wed & Fridays, if you wish to check it out someday in future.

[@khengsengkuo4661]

Elmo, great video! I was staying at Taman Genting in 1991, there was a Charcoal - Hokkien Noodle, in front of corridor of bank at night time. It was one of the best Hokkien Noodle. I wonder they are still doing business there.

U r right kheng there r more good food located at the shops on main road of getting Klang that I missed out

As a setapak person, those food that you recommended are not famous and delicious at all. No disrespect to you and always love your content and effort. But i do suggest that you can do a proper research in promoting the best food instead of sticking in just one place/street and recommend every hawkers along the road

[@patrickchan2829]

should do more research on your channel. Go and try others day on the prawn mee at the same stall. The soup not the same taste. and The better one is just opposite the main road . and those at Prima Setapak that you review Is Not as Nice as you say. Sorry to say so. I been is Setapak for 45 years

[@malaysiafood328]

Too bad Patrick but taste is subjective

[@kayellai5278]

I have the same issue with Elmo too in the past, Elmo is right, taste is subjective. So I kept silent after that. Of course there are some recommendation that does not sync with my taste bud. I wanted to give feedback after I tried on the recommendation, after second thoughts I better keep the comments to myself. By doing so, it gives a better rating for Elmo and appreciation for his efforts. Anyway, thank you for the heads-up, name of the stall or shop, please. I will try both. I want to bring an issue recently with a prawn mee stall in Pudu wai sek kai. It is was my favourite stall and the stall was feature in a newspaper too. Once, I went there near closing time and on a peak day, the prawn mee broth was tasteless. I ask the boss, why is the prawn soup not so tasty today. The boss reply, "Today a lot of people"?! The subtle meaning, the boss added a lot of water to maximised his profits. The boss has destroyed his own reputation for greed. I was a regular there and I am not supporting the stall anymore. Elmo has always asked us to support hawkers, as for this case I cannot support a man's greed. My apologies.
