Hainanese Food ….. When we talk about it, the first thing that going to cross our mind is Hainanese Chicken Rice. There are more nice Hainanese food in town. I use to be patronize Yut Kee at Dang Wangi whenever I have a crave for Hainanese Chicken chop or roti babi. This is convenient for people who stay in KL city.
For me who stay in PJ area, I would recommend you to checkout Ting’s Café located at the same row of Lobsterman in SS2.
The design and setting of the restaurant resemble modern kopitiam like the other famous Old Town and Pappa Rich. There are section for smoking and non smoking area with all the signature dishes displayed on the wall. This is good for people like me who don’t have any idea what do they serve on their first visit.
Without any hesitation the person in charge Ms. Harriet Ting, introduce all their signature dishes that are served daily in the restaurant. She brief us on the food that served here were divided to 2 types which the first one would be those that serve all day long and another one for dinner only. So she recommend us a mixture of both which consist from their best selling list.
We were greeted with an excellent bowl of Ox Tail soup for a start.
Ox Tail Soup – RM13.50
So much meat inside and every scoop is flavorful
Main Course
Nasi Lemak Mutton
The mutton curry that came with this plate of nasi lemak has the kick in it. If you close your eyes and take a bite, you sure will said that this is cooked by Indian chef. Not many Chinese chef able to cook up to this level for mutton curry.
Claypot Lou Shi Fun – RM6.50
Normally this method of cooking were cooked with Mee Suah in sharks fin style. Here they apply the similar style but with added minced pork and eaten with vinegar as usual. I like this dish on a rainy day where it gives you warmth from the claypot that keep your food warm all the time. On a normal day when I can’t afford to go for a real sharks fin, I go for Mee Sua Tow or this instead.
Curry Pork Rib Rice – RM10.50
At first after taking a first bite, we thought this was chicken until Harriet said no ….. it was pork ribs! We were so surprise with the tenderness and juicy meat cooked in Chinese curry chicken style. The curry is so delicious and we clear it in a jiffy.

Yea … simple and nice yet affordable
looks mighty promising, though i still like my Hainanese chicken chop fried, rather than grilled.
it’s the authenticity of it all, i guess.

I love their pork curry more.
You can’t find such a beautiful place ~ Ting’s Cafe!
The food there not only delicious, but also cheap and filling. They serve in a large quantity, with alot of dishes (meat and vegetables). Yesterday I tried the claypot lou shi fun. This dishes is so special as it served with thick shark fin gravy! It is so different with the others claypot lou shi fun. It was so tasty and it kept me warm as yesterday rains the whole day! Guys, should give it a try

OMG …. must go there again ….. Thanks for the highlight
Grilled dori fish is my favourite. It is very good, no fishy smell. Some of my other favourites are fried koay teow, nasi lemak with curry chicken, mutton rendang. The charges are reasonable and the place is nice.

Yea …. simply outstanding ….
finally my ancestor dishes had become popular. Usually, when people thinking of hainanese food there will be chicken rice and chicken chop. With this I think people will know more about hainanese food. Do you think the owner is kin to open franchise in Penang? I am interested

Every individual tolerance on salt are different. So I can’t judge how’s yours. To my liking is just nice but not for others.
