Ampang must-try restaurant!

In year 2006, a stranger named Carrol Lawrence came forth to help me raise funds for surgery. She bought my t-shirts through the mail in bulks and re-sold them to her friends.

Two years later, now, Carrol don’t just know me. She is also the friend of Wai Kong, the friend of Fiona, and the friend of Cordy.

This evening, we paid a visit to the family-run restaurant in Ampang city. Dinner was on the house.

U.K Restaurant is located in a secluded spot away from fumming vehicles and the main roads. Sitting by the river bank cools the ambiance of this little known place.

Bravo to Wai Kong our driver and his extraordinary talent in reading maps. The journey went smoothly.

With us this evening is Fiona Tan.

Fiona is so skinny, she decided water would add some weight, and drank from the fish bowl.

My drink was a mixture of black berry and milk.

Now comes the food. Wai Kong and I each had a dish of grilled cod fish.

Very fresh and juicy. I don’t usually take grilled seafood as they tend to come out rough. But this was very good.

That’s Wai Kong taking in his cod fish before it disappeared.

Mrs. Wai Kong ate sizzling lamb chop. But we talked so much she had it re-heated afterwards.

A closer view of the lamb chop.

Fiona ordered chicken chop. I didn’t take picture of her chicken. It looked almost like my fish from the outside. But I did snap her mushroom soup and two slices of garlic bread.

This soup had the right thickness.

Next came satay. Must be Wai Kong. I’m not a satay person so can’t comment much. The sauce was right though.

Fried sotong with a dash of hot sauce. Wai Kong must order calamari rings wherever we go, but today was Carrol’s insistence. To my surprise, it was so fresh and easy to chew, I bet Wai Kong won’t pay for calamari rings anywhere else. Heh.

The acronym U.K. stands Ulu Klang. But for the folks here, it means ‘Untuk Kamu, Untuk Kekasih, Untuk Keluarga’. In English, ‘For You, For Lovers, and For Family’.

U.K. Restaurant prides itself as a family-oriented eatery.

Carrol’s brother-in-law, Chua, cooked all those food. Out there, are former chefs to this or that V.I.P, but Chua has only one thing to boast – a family man. Cooking for his family, and now for old and new friends, of which many became regulars, some can’t miss him for a day. Really.

But who could resist this homely cook and the romantic ambience of his restaurant?

Go try the cod fish! I’m sure you’d like it.
