Woo Lan Chinese Restaurant
Recently, we had lunch at brickfields at this chinese restaurant called ‘ Woo Lan’ . This place used to be in an old zinc shed nearby but have moved to a shop lot nearby.
We were the first customer there that day since we went there at 1130am and because we skipped breakfast, we decided to go all out for our ‘brunch’. So our orders that day were
Steamed Fish Head 22
Fried Rice cakes 20
Mee Suah 25
Yuen Tai 35
O- Chien 20
Seafood Curry 60
Four Emperor Vegetable 15
Total 197
Honestly, because we have not been to this place before, we ordered what we saw on a old newspaper article hung on the restaurant wall. It was all their house specialities.
You can't really see clearly,but it is a giant fish head
I guess the waitress could sense how hungry we were because the size of the dishes were HUGE. The fish head was huge and came on a huge plate. This is done hokkien style. The fish head, fresh. The meat was delicious and sweet.
Fried rice cakes- hokkien style
The fried rice cakes are also a hokkien dish. As you can see, it looks exactly like hokkien mee except you trade the noodles for rice cakes. This has a starchier taste to it than the normal noodle version. Fills you up pretty fast.
Fried Mee Suah
I liked this dish, cause it has that extra twist to it. Its normal fried mee suah,but for that added kick, they topped it up with fried seaweed. Not healthy I know, but it tasted really good.
Yuen tai..Mmm
And as usual, William needed to have his share of pork and since it was on the newspaper article we saw we went ahead to order it. It tastes as good as it look, though a bit too much on the fatty side for me.
Fried O-chien omellete
The fried O-chien was so so. Sadly they weren’t very generous with the O-chien, giving us only tiny puny ones. But I guess for good fried O-chien, one should go to the stalls near a beach rather than in a restaurant. Its closer to the source.
Seafood curry- Fantastic!~
This is my FAVOURITE!! The waitress told us this curry was made without santan. How they do that, I don’t know, but it tasted soooo GOooooD!! And, unlike the O-chien dish, this one was filled with seafood, from succulent prawns, to squids and baby octopus. It can’t get any better than that. You MUST order this dish when you are here. Its abit pricey, but for the amount of seafood they give you, I think its worth it.
Four emperor vegetable
Roughly translated, the four emperor vegetable consists of ladies fingers, brinjal , long beans and another vegetable which I’m not too sure of the name. It is similar to ladies fingers..LoL. Basically you get more variety of vegetables when ordering this dish.
We were stuffed after eating all these food. We even had to pack some back cause it was just too much. But it was a well worth brunch. I really enjoyed it. Its worth coming here. Will be back.

Famous Pisang Goreng, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur
Brickfields Pisang Goreng
In search of a good dessert after lunch, we found ourselves in brickfielsds at their famous pisang goreng stall. This stall is situated opposite the entrance of YMCA in a little corner coffeeshop called Restoran Yit Seang.
You know you are at the right place when u see a queue
There were many people queuing up in the heat just wanting to taste this uncle’s pisang goreng, us being one of them. While waiting for our pisang goreng, we managed to speak to the owner of the stall and found out the stall has been here for the past 27 years! Amazing. There are two generations running the stall now, the father who does the frying and also the son whome we spoke to.
Pisang Raja imported from Pahang
So when asked bout their secret to their success, he pointed out that only the best ingredients are used. The bananas they used are specially imported from Pahang, and is a species called Pisang Raja. The king of bananas. These bananas are usually exported to Singapore.
The array of delicious fried stuff
They not only serve their special pisang goreng, but they also sell their other best seller kuih bakul which is actually ‘nian kau’ ( i don’t know what its called English) wedged in between 2 pieces of yam, dipped in batter and deep fried. Oooo..so good.. These were selling like hot cakes.
Pisang Raja goreng
After getting our fried goodness, we headed into the coffeeshop to dig in. It was delicious. The pisang goreng literally melts in your mouth and it feels as if it was soaked in honey, it was really sweet. Absolutely divine. It will go perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream..Mmmm.
Kuih Bakal
The kuih bakul, what can I say? Look a the photo and you can see for yourself. This you must eat when its hot. The ‘nian gau’ in the middle melts when fried so when you bite in, you just bite into the gooey centre. Will definitely be back for more. And whats more, you can actually call in advance to place your order and you can come and pick it up after. This will definitely make a good tea time snack or dessert at your open house. Worth it.
