Nam Heong (南香)

Date: 30 May 2019

This place is famous for their chicken siew pao and egg tart. I tried their chicken siew pao for the first time a few weeks ago and have been craving it ever since! So, after work we decided to have dinner at their restaurant located at Starling mall.

We arrived around 6.20pm, which is considered early for a weekday so there wasn’t a lot of people at the restaurant nor the mall (which made finding parking easy)!

They use an online ordering system – easy to use, by I personally prefer flicking through a menu (call me old-fashioned).
I ordered a twin mixed roasted meat rice – bbq pork and roast pork
RM 16.90
Not too special for me, star of the dish was the rice…
The boyfriend ordered their signature wat dan hor + cirspy pork lard
RM 14.10
He also said this was average only.
  • Premium butter and home-made kaya
    RM 6
  • This is to die for! Look at that butter! So unhealthy but so addictive…
Ipoh white coffee
RM 4.20
Apparently the uncle who developed this is still making coffee in Ipoh. I thought it was nice but personally not a big fan of white coffee (I drink mine black).
Takeaway siew pao and egg tart
3.20 RM/each
This tastes good, even after a few days in the fridge! I love the siew pao, while the boyfriend loves their egg tarts. Win-win!

About the restaurant

A bit about me

Hi everyone! Welcome to my food & travel blog!

You must be wondering why I am starting a blog in 2019. Well…the reason is my partner and I have recently moved from New Zealand to Malaysia. He’s Malaysian and wanted to move here for work, so being a considerate and loving girlfriend I followed him over. I was born in Taiwan but grew up in NZ. Let’s just say, for me Malaysia is a very different country to NZ.

It’s been about a month since we moved over and it has been an emotional rollercoaster! It took me 10 mins to walk to work in NZ, now it takes us 45 mins by car (going home is even worse). The parking at shopping malls is really difficult, getting things done seem to take a lot longer and earning ringgits is not very valuable in the international sense.

However, one thing in Kuala Lumpur I am loving……the food and location. I have decided to take this new life day by day, eat and travel heaps and share my new adventure in this foreign country. I wish to provide honest reviews from a foreigners view and share lots of unedited, no filter food photos!

Let’s start eating and travelling! J
