'jeff lee kitchen' can be MY kitchen anytime.....

I have discovered my favourite thing in Sungai Buloh! .. and no way i'm talking about my boss (who lives there). I have found Jeff Lee Kitchen! and have fallen in love with this fella.

Thank God we made early reservations so we were immediately seated. What instantly caught my eye were the hanging ducks and chicken in the kitchen. Wonder if Jeff Lee is one of the cooks banging away the woks in the kitchen.

 Just a simple typical looking coffee shop, but you can find the most traditional home-cooked style Chinese cooking here. The variety of dishes are aplenty - you name it, very likely they've got it.

Here's what we ended up ordering, after going back and forth with the choice of dishes - all of which are worth ordering. Really. Just check out my grading of the dishes below in parenthesis.

1. A must try is their signature noodle (very much like the springy wan tan mee) topped with tasty rich mince meat. (8/10)

 2. There's no resisting a crispy skin roast duck with meat so tender, dipping it in sweet lemony sauce just spells d-i-v-i-n-e...  (8/10)

 3. Stir fried bitter gourd with salted egg  - i've only just started learning how to enjoy this bitter veg and i found this dish quite a refreshing one. Especially since they steamed the salted egg first. (7/10)

 4. Deep fried Mantis Prawn in Thai Sauce - absolutely addictive. Eat first, show remorse later. =P (7/10)

 5. A unique twist to our vege dish is this recommended 'Paku-Pakis' Cold Thai Salad. The perfect blend of sweet, sour, spicy and tangy, i could eat this everyday! (10/10!) Kinda got the impression from the lady boss that this may not be a dish that's available everyday. So good luck.

 6. Crispy Thai-style Tofu with a side of pickled ginger (looking very orangy) and century egg. Nothing that much to shout about this dish but just because they made it 'thai-style', i'm giving this a 6/10.

 7. I saved the best to show you last .... (drumroll).................their Claypot Pork Innards Porridge (we Chinese call it 'Chee Chap Chok'). This much you see here is actually a 3-persons portion. Generous ingredients without the saltiness of the porridge. Simply gorgeous. (8/10)

 I'm gonna up it to a 8.5/10 grading because when eaten together with this mix of minced meat and dry shrimp, it completes the formula for a flavoursome porridge. yummmmmeh.

Each of the above dishes were priced between RM 10 - RM 15, except for the half duck which was RM 24.
All in all, a reasonable RM 112 for 6 pax.

 I ate till my belly felt like it was gonna explode, and yet my brain still wanted to try more of their other dishes. Mann....what a glutton i was. *shy*

I would love to have a second, third, etc...date with Jeff Lee sometime soon. I've heard their Hainanese Chicken ('pak cham kai') is not bad too.

Finding this place (on GPS) is simple and parking's not a problem as there's a huge car park space opposite the shop, which coincidentally is also located between a wet market and football field. I came here on a weekend and there were hoards of foreign workers loitering around the area, watching ongoing football matches.

I think the bigger challenge here is remembering to make early reservations by calling them at 03-6156 1817. They have 3 booking sessions for dinner (6pm, 7.30pm and 8.30pm).

Otherwise, take the risk as a walk-in and join the waiting crowd.
