Roast Lamb, K.K.Kafeteria, Catering Service
Planning on having a Christmas party or an open house this coming festive season? Well, why not treat your guests to some roast lamb, right from your backyard (or driveway).
Not long ago, I held a party at my house for my grandma’s 80th birthday and we decided to have some roast lamb instead of the typical fried bee hoon, curry chicken and fried rice dinner.
This is where Uncle Robert comes into the picture. He is with the 3K caterers and specializes in roasting lamb. Our party was to start at 630pm in the evening so he had to come in earlier to start.
By 3pm he came knocking with his lamb and roasting pit and started roasting…and roasting…and roasting the lamb, and, its hard work I tell you but all worth it in the end. Not long later, the smell of roasting meat will start wafting through the house and down the street tantalizing not only your taste buds but the neighbors as well.
By 6pm, while he was turning the lamb, people out for their usual evening walk start slowing down when passing my house just to catch a glimpse or a whiff of the roasting lamb.
And by 630 sharp, Uncle Robert began carving the lamb and laying out with mint sauce and brown sauce to serve. The lamb became the centre of attention, and not my grandma (poor thing) and the lamb was done to perfection. I’m not exaggerating here, the meat was tender and juicy and cooked just right.
He also serves hainanese chicken rice (roast/steam chicken) together with the lamb. Its kinda like a dinner package. All in all, the total cost came up to RM740 (Ex Chicken rice), which is not bad, considering the amount of meat we got and also his time roasting it.

Restoran Loke Yun, Chicken Rice in Ampang
This is one of my favourite spots for Hainanese Chicken Rice. Right in the heart of Ampang, Restoran Loke Yun delivers some of the tastiest and softest chicken that almost melts in your mouth. Parking around this area may be abit troublesome though.
The front portion of the restaurant is open air and the rear is the air-conditioned section. On certain occassions, the restaurant was fully packed and the food did take quite some time to arrive. This time, the meals were served quite fast.
To start things off, a bowl of soup is provided as is typically found accompanied with each meal of chicken rice.
The chicken is sprinkled with fried shallots and covered with light soya sauce and oil. You can also opt for the kampung (village) chicken which would cost approximately and additional 50% more to the normal chicken. A whole chicken costs RM40 whereas the kampung chicken goes for RM60. However, if you prefer to have a single serve, it is priced at RM5 per portion for a plate of breast meat.
To balance out the meat, we decided to also have a plate of beansprouts which were lightly blanched and seasoned with light soya sauce and oil. The bean sprouts were fresh and garnished with spring onions.
Of course, you would need a plate of rice to go along with the meal. On the table you would also find small pots of pounded ginger paste, chilli sauce with lime and garlic, as well as light and thick dark soya sauce.
The tofu, garnished with fried shallots was fresh and only costed RM3.
For those who are more adventurous, we also had a small portion of chicken parts mix; this being the chicken intestines. You can also request for the liver and gizzard.
To finish off this heavy meal, we ordered a bowl of Foo Chow Fish Balls. The centre of each fish ball is filled with ground meat which has been lightly flavoured.
