Since moving to Bandar Damai Perdana, I’ve been deprived of many good food that I’ve been taking for granted for more than 20 years of living in Pudu. The daily decision-making process of where and what to eat has been a nightmare, till many months back when a new restaurant came to the neighbourhood.
At first me and my family were pretty reluctant to try as it look quite posh (considering this is a new housing area deep inside Cheras) with its uber-cool signboards and air-conditioning. But one fine day we finally decided to check it out when we really really ran out of ideas. 
My family has been patronizing this restaurant many many many times since that fateful night, so it’s going to be hard for me to introduce all of their dishes to you. I’ll just recommend you few of our favourites instead. An almost must-have on our every visit would be this unique “Yat Tung Gai” (One Barrel Chicken). At RM20.00 a pop it doesn’t exactly comes cheap, but when you are savouring the herbal-flavoured tender chicken meat, price would not be the issue. The herbal gravy goes superbly well with white steamed rice.
Another of my family’s favourite there would be the “Cheong Ching Fei Chau Yue aka Tilapia” (RM15.00). During our first visit, we were simply stunned when we found it only cost RM15.00! Ok, Tilapia fish is not exactly an expensive type of fish. But it is not unusual for a normal streetside “tai chow” stall to charge RM18-25 for one.
Just look at all those abundants artery-choking pig lards!!! Am I in heaven now!? *slurp*
And to appease the carnivor spirits in me and my dad, we would also usually order a type of pork ribs. There are several types here, but our favourite would be the Honey Pork Ribs (Matt Chap Pai Guat). Once again, we were so impressed by its RM10.00 price although the portion was quite substantial. The meat is chunky and the proportion of fat and lean part is simply perfect.
One dish that we discovered through the captain there is the Fried Seafood Tofu. Known usually elsewhere as “Chiu Pai Tau Fu”, the version here comes with bigger cuts of tofu and it is one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Not cheap though, as if I’m not mistaken it is priced at RM15-20 range.
Steamed Egg with Diced Prawn (RM10.00) is an ordinary dish, but just look at the amount of prawn they put in there. Another value-for-money dish that you can’t resist.
This Stir Fried “Yau Mak Choy” (Romaine Lettuce) which costs RM10.00 tasted exactly like stir-fried romaine lettuce. Can’t say much right? Ok…it’s fresh and nice. 
Its not all just about rice and dishes here. Their Black Pepper Udon (RM6.00 for small; RM12.00 for big) has won my vote too. Instead of the usual overpowering black pepper taste that comes with this style, the udon is filled with the aroma of vinegar and cooking wine instead. I like this udon so much I sometimes come here just to get one big portion for takeaway.
With all the impressive good food, sometimes hard-to-believe prices, and comfortable environment, it would be a sin for me not to recommend this place to you all. While I would not expect PJ folks or even other KL non-Cheras residents to be adventurous enough to venture into this neighbourhood just for this, I would strongly urge those that stays within the vicinity of Bandar Damai Perdana, Alam Damai, Taman Len Sen and Taman Connaught or even Balakong to give this place a try.
