Come here for traditional hometown taste Hokkien dish at Xan Ling Segambut, located not far from my favourite Vietnamese pork totter hor fun place. The restaurant is made like those old time Chinese wooden old house, furniture are wooden tables and chairs as well. Not many choices in their menu but all are their signature dishes. We order their most signature dish~ Claypot Sang guat noodle which required at least 45mins waits after order placed. It is recommended to call up to pre-order if you don't want to wait. Our visit is unplanned so we don't mind to wait as long as it's delicious! We didn't wait that long anyway, slightly more than 30mins. The juicy pork meatballs made with minced pork & sha-kok (yam bean) is a must try, I like it the most among those dishes we had! The braised pork and stir fried cabbage with fucuk is really kochabi (old school taste), it's like those homecook dish that I've tasted at my friend's home made by her mom when I was young..
From the newspaper cutting on the wall (interviewed and introduced by 8TV ho-chiak), we found out that the place is named after the owner couple's daughter - Xan Ling. Xan Ling's mom is the cook behind all these homecook dishes, and the recipe is enhanced from those homecook dishes that Xan Ling's mom learnt from Xan Ling's grandma. Price is reasonable, I think I mentioned this before (in my old blog) that food around this area (Segambut) are good and inexpensive. Therefore residents / expats including us who lives in Mont Kiara often drive here to look for meal on weekends.
