One Yulek @ Taman Len Sen, Cheras

I read a review that mentioned the curry laksa here was nice, so off I went with my family to Restoran One Yulek @ Taman Len Sen, Cheras one Sunday morning for breakfast.

There are two stalls inside the shop and a roasted meat stall just outside.  As it's a very small coffee shop, you'd find some tables on the road as well.

When it comes to noodles, curry mee ranks top on the list for my husband and I (especially my husband).  We came here specifically for the curry mee, so curry mee it is.  My bowl of Curry Laksa @ RM5.50 came with poached chicken, blood cockles and bean curd puffs (minus the bean sprouts as requested).

My husband replaced the poached chicken with pork meatballs and his curry laksa (minus the "see hum") also cost RM5.50.  Looking at the bowl, we were happy to see a layer of thicker curry on top (this is what some curry laksa vendors commonly do....pour over a spoonful of thick curry before serving).

The curry broth wasn't as thick as some I've eaten and also not as savoury as we had hoped but probably still decent by many's standards...it just didn't meet our (high) standards (hehe!) when it comes to curry laksa and that's only because we had eaten an awesome curry laksa and it's difficult (or we have yet) to come across another curry laksa that can beat our all-time favourite! ^_*

The same stall that sells curry laksa also serves up fried char kway teow and I think I remember seeing Ipoh sar hor fun too.  I didn't try these two though.

I couldn't help but notice that the roasted meat stall outside had a lot of roast chicken hanging (there must have been at least 20 chickens)...that must be their best seller!  I packed the roast chicken on another occasion and found it to be just like any roast chicken should be, nothing out of the ordinary in terms of taste.

Anyway, my son had the Roast Pork Rice @ RM7.  The serving of "siew yoke" was rather generous.  It would also prove to be satisfying for those who prefer a leaner cut.  The rice was just meh! ;)  

We had a taste and found it tasty with a nice crispy skin, so we ordered a single portion of siew yoke @ RM8 to share....certainly a decent portion for the price.  Won't sing praises of their chilli sauce though.

The other stall here sells wantan mee, prawn mee, "sui kow" (Chinese soup dumplings), etc.  I "tapau" a packet of Wantan Mee @ RM5.50 (for lunch later) which had "char siew" (BBQ pork) and fried wantans (you can choose soup wantans as well).  I liked that it had minced pork in the mix....something not commonly found in wantan mee.  Again, it was just an acceptable plate of wantan mee for me.

My Personal Opinion

If you happen to be in the area looking for middle-of-the-road food that's cheap but with good portion sizes, this could be an option.  Otherwise, you don't really need to go looking for it specifically! ;)

  1. Well, at least the siew yoke did not disappoint. I would gladly pay RM7 for that portion.

  2. That was really a generous portion of pork meat @ RM7.00! Other places would easily charge at least RM10.00

    1. I'm not sure if it's a well-known restaurant. It wasn't all that packed when we were there.

  4. No bean sprouts for you - I'll have yours as extra then :-) So... where is your fav curry laksa spot?

    1. I do like to eat bean sprouts....just not with noodles. My fav curry laksa spot is the one on the side bar...Mei Sin @ Imbi! ;)

  5. The stalls near my KL home, RM 7 siew yoke rice, will get just 1 row of what you got in that plate (meaning half only) >.< ...

    But I won't come here for it lah, the idea of having to drive longer, and potential traffic jam, and the pork is lean cut... not worth it for me...

    1. Yup, no need to go looking for it if it's not worth it for you.

  6. RM7 for that portion of siew yoke rice is really generous indeed! Some place not even half of that portion!
