Big Joe’s No Frill

If you like roadside, charbroiled Australian lamb chops, the new Big Joe’s No Frill in SS2 might be the place for you. Their extensive menu range from beef goulash to Hokkien mee, with handmade pies thrown in. I am not sure the two burly guys running it are ex-bouncers or cops but it seems like a jolly partnership between Malays and Chinese 🙂

I tried their Chicken Cordon Bleu (photographed here). It is a boneless, breaded chicken roll with sausage, ham and cheese inside. Not bad for RM 12. The inside seating is very bright and great for photography. Outside it is dark, five-foot-way seating mamak-style but you get to see your lamb chop being grilled under a lamp post.

Big Joe’s Restaurant is at 44 Jalan SS 2/66, Petaling Jaya. Tel: 03 7865 6626. Opens daily from 5pm to 5am.

You have tried salted-fish fried rice but have you tried salted-egg fried rice? This and many other simple but interesting dishes are available at British Malaya in SS2, Petaling Jaya. It is a 24-hours outlet and a good place to keep in mind during a week-long holiday when many other eateries are closed.

A sign on the entrance says is pork-free and lard-free. British Malaya is at 58 & 60 Jalan SS 2 /67, 47300 Petaling Jaya. Tel: 03 7865 4015

Indian For Chinese

Indian food for the 1st night of Chinese New Year :-). Many Chinese restaurants, except those at Jalan Alor, were closed. To their credit, Nagas in Brickfields didn’t raise prices unlike some other eating places.

Briyani rice with side dishes of eggplant, mutton, potato and cauliflower. Delicious!
