Old Klang Road's Best Kept Secret @ Nihon Kai

Many might not know there's a very good Japanese restaurant located along Old Klang Road. It could be one of the Old Klang Road's best kept secret. Well, it's no other than Nihon Kai. My in-laws loved to dine there, food quality was good and their pricing were amazingly reasonable.

How to get there? From Mid Valley go towards Old Klang Road. Look out for a tyre shop with Michelin Tyre and turn left there (it should be before Shell Petrol Station). Its located at the end of the shop lot (picture as below).



This is Nihon Kai and its usually packed for dinner. The place was cozy and the best part was, they have tatami rooms.



I ordered a seafood special set at RM 25+. The set came with 3 grilled prawns, squid, salmon, miso soup, pickles, chawan mushi and rice. The seafood were freshly grilled and it was good.



The mix tempura set...



The mix tempura set at RM 21+. Its a combination of tempura ebi and vegetables and a few slices of salmon sashimi. The salmon sashimi was very fresh.

In general the food was very good and the price was very reasonable. I lost the sashimi pictures, if not I would have post it here.

This place is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Amazing Steamed Fish @ Ah Wang Bak Kut Teh, Old Klang Road

* NON - HALAL

Old Klang Road has lots of good foods. Particularly in bak kut teh and steamed fish. The restaurants that stretched the long winding road could be in dozens. Finding the right place could be a bit tricky but with some advices and tips from friends, getting a nice place is never been easier.

I was told about this steamed fish place by my fellow friends. Its located at the road side under the fly over (traffic from Pearl Point to Mid Valley, restaurant is located on the left).

The place is called Ah Wang Bak Kut Teh.



The restaurant is visible from the main road, slow down before the fly over and turn left to finid a parking spot. For better guidance, call the number below.



We wasted no time ordering a steamed vege with oyster sauce.



A lovely big chunk of otak-otak. Thick and rich. Otak-otak was good.

We ordered 3 different fishes with 3 different types of cooking.



Firstly, the sliced ginger steamed fish. The tricky part about having a good steamed fish is the freshness of the fish, the duration of the cooking and the sauce. I loved this dish. It was pretty amazing. Fish was not overcooked, meat was tender and the ginger with the sauce blends very well with the fish. Recommendable!



The second dish was steamed fish with asam style. Again, I loved this dish. The asam sauce for this was good. The fish was cooked in perfect condition. Loved it.



Lastly we had the steamed fish cooked with bean sauce. Least preferred than the first two. This was good as well. Fish was fresh, not overcooked, meat was tender just that personal preference. Sauce was cooked separately and not steamed with the fish together. It blends well together though.

The bill came to less than RM 100 which I felt its very reasonable as we ordered 3 fishes. Its located at the road side so no air conditioned. Service was okay and the food was good. We only ordered the fish dishes and we didn't try the bak kut teh there.

I will go back there again definitely for their steam fish dishes.
