Restoran Pan Heong

Open : 8am to 3:30pm
Located near Batu Caves, this eatery is famous for their congee. The queue reaches outside most of the time, and once you're queuing, its standing room only unless you're one of the lucky few that manages to secure the minimal number of seats that they place outside for waiting customers. Reservation are a must, but I was lucky enough to come on a less crowded day.
First up, is of course, congee!
This here is their "fish congee" with a dash of soy sauce on top.
The ingredients consist of fish fillets and century eggs (love 'em or hate 'em, its in there, like it or not).
Absolutely marvelous, but of course, fish haters, stay away. Have no fear, Restoran Pan Heong can cater to all your congee needs.
Now, next up is the fu yi yao mak. At this point you might be groaning "not that again!", but I bring you a twist! Notice those tiny baby anchovies there? Yeah. Thats something you don't see everyday.
Here, we have chicken fried with fermented bean paste. This salty, reddish coloured bits of chicken must be eaten with some rice or congee, because I found it pretty salty.
Now, the beautiful steamed fish. A classic dish I must say. The meat is fresh and tender every time I come here, so its a must try for all seafood lovers out there!
Lastly, we have their specially fried yellow/egg noodles (boric acid, anyone? I'm just kidding.). Squeeze some lime juice on top, and its really good. One of the best I should say.
Overall, Restoran Pan Heong is quite worth the trip all the way down to Batu Caves because in my list, its the best place for congee. Of course, do start driving down early. You want to beat that lunch crowd, don't you?

i think i gained 5 pounds just looking at your pics.. i feel like a big whale!! i should be at work but it is storming over here. waiting for rain to ease up before walking to work.
do you attempt to cook at home the food you've tasted at the restaurants? i ordered complete dinners for thanksgiving but also had trouble heating them!! hopeless lah!
If thats the case, you'd probably gain 10 pounds from MWM's pics :D heh heh.
Anyway, I don't cook food I've tasted in the restaurants. I've cooked food seen on TV before though. Honestly, getting all the ingredients is quite a hassle :x
