Daidomon Japanese BBQ Restaurant Sdn Bhd.

Saw a brochure about the promotion of Daidomon on the desk of my Japanese boss, Buka Puasa Special dinner buffet was only at RM43.90++. Boss said he tried it with his family, his remark was positive.

One rainy Thursday, we drove straight to Jalan Ampang after work. To avoid traffic jam, we used Smart Tunnel. Arrived Great Eastern Mall around 7.30pm.

Like every other buffet style, customers are required to pay prior the meal. As soon as being seated, we couldn't wait to check out the buffet table. After a round, Moon brought back salad with Wafu (Japanese) dressing, light and refreshing. For grill items, we got to place order with waiter. The waiter suggested warming up with assortment of beef & seafood. He also explained to us that scallop and oyster are controlled items in this promotion in which each group of customers only allowed to order once, others products are free flow though.

While waiting the meat cooked, we had sashimi and sushi. Choices were limited and freshness is just so-so.On the other hand, Daidomon is such a heaven for beef lovers as they serve different parts of cow including ox tongue. This was my first experience taking animal’s tongue; the texture was crunchier and chewy, not bad at all!
Although they claim to have more than 100 dishes, but throughout the night, we only attacked the grilled food, we hardly approached the buffet table for other selections. For desert, they serve ice cream and limited choice of fruit. The peach flavored ice cream was nice!The verdict is, quality of food is satisfactory but only 1 type of dip being served, should have more choices indeed. Besides, It’s not really that well worth if you are no beef person. Anyhow, the ambiance was great if you are looking for a place to get chatty with your mate.

Yang Kee Beef Noodles 碑律营记

Yang Kee, this is the beef noodle stall we headed to after having the dissatisfying Ngau Kee's beef noodle. Yes, right! This is the beef noodle that according to Cheong J, could beat Ngau Kee hundred miles away! Let's check it out....Cheong J said he used to eat the yellow thin noodle like every others. Tossed with fried garlic and a sprinkle of spring onions, the minced meat looks appetizing indeed.We already had the thin yellow noodle at Ngau Kee, no more noodle please!! We went for kueh teow (flat rice noodle) and mihun (thin rice noodle) instead. Obviously this is not wise as you need a lot more the minced meat to brush up the mihun otherwise it looks so pale! So my advice is, don't ever go against the main stream!Noodles served with a bowl of beef balls for only RM4.80. The beef balls were springy, but guess not as exaggeratedly bouncy as the ones we had at Ngau Kee.
Beef products are Moon's all time favorite, so we requested a mix combo, and it's only RM5.30 (if only I remember correctly). Not sure if tenderizer was used, the beef was soft, overall, I do agree with Cheong J, yeah, the soup is hundred times better than Ngau Kee's one ( which I called it tasteless)....but then, come to talk about the minced meat, I dare to say, so far no one in KL could ever beat Sun Gao Yu Beef Noodles 新九如牛肉面 , Sun Gao Yu rocks!!! The stall is just in front of Toto at the Peel Road Wai Sik Kai. Heard it only opens at night.

Ngau Kee @ Tingkat Tong Shin

My boss used to say the beef noodles in Taiwan 're very “oishii” (means delicious in Japanese), it makes me drool and so wanted to go Taiwan to glut myself with yummy yummy beef noodles.

In KL, beef noodles are not as popular as fried Hokkien Mee. Ying told me the beef noodle at Tengkat Tong Shin was nice. Yes, that beef noodle seems pretty famous among the foodies. So, decided to check it out with Moon and Cheong J after done some purchase at Low Yat Plaza last Saturday noon.

It was drizzling and there were only 2 diners at one table having their beef noodles. The guy ran the stall looked young, maybe at his early twenties!?

After taking a seat, we ordered 2 bowls of dried noodles with beef balls (RM5 per bowl). Food served to us quickly.

Many floggers suspect the mince was made of pork instead of beef, I come to believe it as the texture was lumpy. It's not fine like the one served at Sun Gao Yu 新九如. Of course, Sun Gao Yu's minced meat was very much nicer than this.
Total 6 big beef balls were given, pretty generous, I think. The beef balls were really bouncy but I find it kind of "unusual". I’m not a Pro in this but I do have heard some manufacturers in food industries use borax (boric acid 硼砂) to enhance the springiness of the noodles and meatballs…. On top of that, we added a bowl of mix beef tripe with beef tendons (RM10/bowl). The soup was plain, close to tasteless ( I bet you could tell from the pic itself). Beef tripe was crunchy but Moon was suspicious if it's the effect of food additive. And the chili dip, that's another BOO factor, weird and watery…..didn't bother to dip also. From Cheong J’s facial expression, I knew what he ‘s going to say about it...”Nice or not?”I asked, just to reassure my assumption was correct. He shook his head.

“You should try the one at Peel Road.” After a pause, he whispered. Without having finish our noodles, we called for the bill.

Out of curiosity, I asked the guy about the business hours, he told me, the stall runs 24 hrs a day, now I see, obviously the emphasis is quantity over quality, no wonder Precious Pea said the quality is not consistent….Anyway, it's not my concern coz I have no intention to come back here again….

Sun Gao Yu Beef Noodles 新九如牛肉面

This Sunday we decided to have our lunch at Sun Gao Yu (新九如) Beef Noodles along Jalan Tun. Tan Cheng Lock, both Moon and my mother-in-law had been craving for it since our last visit. If you are a beef noodle fan in KL, then I am pretty sure you will agree with me that this is one of the best in town. As usual, we waited a while before being seated. Look at the queue, you know I am not bluffing!The noodles sent to us within couple minutes as soon as we placed our order, efficient huh !? All of us are having preference for the Sun Gao Yu dried noodle so we went for the dried one!

Well, from the photo, the minced beef on top of the noodle might not look appealing enough, but I can ensure you, THIS IS THE ESSENCE of the noodle that we all love it very much!! Even my mother-in-law who used to be a small eater finished up every single drop!
If you order the dried noodle (干捞面), the meatball, beef tendon and the beef tripe will be served in soup separately, not too chewy but it's quite tender.......
Sun Gao Yu (新九如) Beef Noodles situated just right opposite to Lai Foong Restaurant.
Don't be there too early, coz it only opens from 10am!
Oh BTW, the traffic there is rather chaotic and kinda difficult to find a parking lot nearby, public transport probably is a wiser choice to get there!
Attached the below map for your easy reference.
