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.

New Paris, SS2, Not France.
Some friends of Feedmelah.com joined us out for dinner a while back and it was left up to me to decide where to go. I was limited to choosing Chinese local food, so without too much hesitation, I chose New Paris, SS2.
Not because I haven’t been there before, but I thought it would be good to blog about the place as we’ve not done that yet. And the food there is fast and nice.
For the 6 of us, I ordered 5 dishes.
A great simple dish with a little kick.
First off was my favourite, the 4 style fried vegetables (This is what it translates to in English) and it consists of long beans, eggplant, petai and 4 angled beans all of it fried with belacan and also with some dried mini shrimps too, I think.
The combination works out just right, with the crunchy long beans, petai and 4 angled beans mixing well with the slightly softer egg plant. The belacan gave it a nice salty and spicy kick too.
Potato leaves... really.
As a second plate of roughage vegetables, we ordered potato leaves, blanched and lightly fried in soya sauce and garlic. The combination of the garlic and the petai from the vegetables above make chewing gum an after-dinner must. Haha.
Pork knuckle, fat, meaty and fried to perfection.
Marmite pork ribs. Tender on the inside. Tangy on the outside.
Their house speciality tofu. Covered in minced meat, fried and served with garnishing.
As for the meat dishes, we ordered deep fried pork knuckle (that came with a side of pepper sauce), pork ribs in marmite (pai kwat wong) and their speciality tofu, which was covered in minced meat and a spoon.
Rice is nice.
Something like a Thai chili sauce.
Of course everything was accompanied with rice and the house chili sauce.
Some people may say that the place is too commercialized and that the meal is too hectic. Kinda like chinese fast food.
You don't hear me complaining. I love it.
