I have tried the " Lart Thong " and also the " Forr Pow Yuk " there. I think the main attraction is they are cheap. It's actually more like " Nga Pou Ham Yee Far Lam ".

They say the pork satay in Restoren Kong Heng (Ipoh old town) is nice but I never tried them because they sell it for breakfast and lunch and quite unusual for me to eat satay for breakfast. Anyway, lots off nice food here too.

When I have satay, I like 'satay daging' meaning beef satay. Off course I add some chicken satay too. Long time ago when there was only local beef available, 'satay daging' is good and tasty. We are not talking about imported beef off course. Nowadays, although we still have local beef but preference goes to the imported buffalo meat from India because they are cheaper and easier to source. So, 'satay daging' tends to be very tough nowadays if the maker don't know how to tenderise them.

So now it becomes like 'roti chanai'. You have good rotis but bad gravy and good gravy bad roti. Same with satay, you have good satay bad gravy and vice versa. For me satay is still Restoren Malaysia in Kajang or just any satay I see in the coffee shop. Just to 'lepas gian' only. I do like Satay Ria formerly. Sometimes, I reminisce on those Indonesians who peddles satay with a hot charcoal stove behind their bicycles and REAL ketupat and not compressed rice in plastic.

PS/ I heard from friends, beef satay is best in Singapore . They use imported New Zealand or Australian beef. Salivating now thinking about it.

The restaurant is also known as Nyok Lan Kajang Satay. It is diagonally in front of the Kajang police station. I frequent here during my youth times as I know a the two sisters who works for their aunt who owns this restaurant. The restaurant didn't change at all since then. Although a chinese outlet they are halal and alot of malay patrons too. Try their duck satay

There used to another chinese satay outlet a few doors from Restoren Malaysia which in my opinion was even better. Due to a rumour that the gravy was blessed or cursed (whichever way you see it) by putting in an "aunty's pad" It was closed after the rumour was published in a daily.
