Chan Chan Yong Tau Foo @ Menjalara

Bandar Menjalara is yet another place in Kepong to explore for food.
With the number of restaurants, cafes and eateries here, one is definitely spoilt for choice when you are in this area.
This place used to be known as the Steamboat City due to the list of steamboat restaurants around here but today, the list has expanded to include a variety of eatery options.

Chan Chan Yong Tau Foo, located at the very area is pretty popular and they do offer a unique flavor to the conventional Yong Tau Foo.


I was introduced to this place by my brother and I was told to expect the unexpected from the food offered here. I did not have much expectation and was only looking forward to a new place for lunch and Yong Tau Foo.
How innovative can Yong Tau Foo get anyway right? :)

It was pretty hot in KL during the weekend; therefore a cooling sugar cane drink (RM1.50) is great to soothe my recovering throat.


It seemed that their pork trotters braised in sweet and dark vinegar sauce was one of the most popular dish here and even my parents seemed to like it.

The pork trotters were braised with slow cooking and the vinegar sauce has immersed into the flesh for the sweet and yet sourish taste.

Besides, according to mum, the meat was tender enough to compliment the proportionate amount of sauce used in the cooking process.
Priced at RM10, this bowl was found on almost every table!~
(That's publicity enough eh:)

We ordered an array of fried stuffs; such as fried Sui Kow (dumplings), beancurd sheets (foo chook), and fried beancurd (tau pok).

All the Yong Tau Foo items are priced at Rm1 per piece; which was rather pricey as compared to other places. However, the amount of filling and the size of the item made up for the prices.


I could not understand why they place such a large-sized sauce plates and I thought of sharing my sauce but my brother mentioned that I will understand why when the food is served.
The chili sauce here is slightly different from the normal ones; it had a strong whiff of freshly squeezed lime juice and also finely grinded garlic in it.

(sorry for the blurry pic)
This was definitely the contributing factor to enhance the whole Yong Tau Foo experience over here.

Besides the fried stuffs, we also ordered a bowl of steamed dumplings, stuffed bitter gourd and white bean curd.

It was a big bowl; and as mentioned earlier, the size of the pieces is reasonably big as well.

The soup came with a serving of vegetables (I am not really sure of the name of this vegetable; but it seems that this is often used in Pan Mee. Anyone can tell me, Pan Mee lovers?)

Another bowl of soupy stuff we ordered was this bowl of fish paste.

Do not be misled by the name 'Fish ball' in the menu, because this is definitely more than just fish balls.
It was hand made fish paste cooked in soup with the same vegetables.

Ordering 10 pieces of this, to me, was a mistake, because I found the serving too much but the guys could finish it ^_^


The bowls used to serve all these were really huge!


For 5 pax, the total bill was about RM56.60, so is it worth it?

And I thought we could not finish it?
