Bonny’s Kitchen

This is one of my boss' favourite restaurant. He claimed that he eat there almost every weekend. After following him there for lunches/dinners for a few times, I begin to understand why.

I guess people are attracted by how home-like the food tastes there. And besides the choices on their menu, they also cater to "ad-hoc" requests, so that's another plus point I guess.

This eatery is located at the outer shops section of Plaza Damas, in Sri Hartamas area. They used to be located near a condo in Mont Kiara, but moved here since middle of last year. The owners are a couple that have been living here from Hong Kong since years back. The wife (Bonny Chau) is especially friendly, but then again, my boss might be one of her biggest customer.

This is some sort of fried fish called "Chiu Yim Pak Fan Yue" (Pepper & Salt Pak Fan Fish). Very tasty, and very crunchy too. It can makes you feeling pretty thirsty after awhile though.

Up next is the Roasted & Salted Chicken. Personally, I prefer the salted one much more. Its not too salty, and not as dry as those you find elsewhere. The roasted chicken tasted normal to me, although some of my female colleagues seems to like it. Maybe because its not as oily as the usual ones I guess. But one bite you will be able to tell that the chicken used for both types, is of good quality. Most probably its a kampung chicken (free range/chemical-free/organic), as the meat tasted leaner, and springier than normal chickens.

This is one of the default-type of dish to order when eating at Chinese restaurants. The Braised Beancurds with Vege here is good, especially the beancurds itself, which is very tender and smooth.

This is the Green Vege with Beansprouts. Kakakakaka...yes I have no idea what it is called! But I can tell you it tasted real nice, sweet and fresh.

I think this one is called "Sam Wong Tan" (3 Emperor Egg). Basically its steamed egg made of 3 types of egg, which are normal chicken egg, century egg, and salted egg. Not very different from the usual Sam Wong Tan, except for the vinegar they added in here.

This is Bonny Kitchen's version of "Ham Yue Fa Lam Pou" (Salted Fish with Pork Strips). Instead of the usual Ham Yue Fa Lam Pou which is braised with dried chilli, dark soy sauce and squid, the one served here is steamed. Replacing the dried chillies would be the ginger, for enhancing the flavour. This salty fish and pork goes very well with the steamed rice, otherwise you might feel that its a tad too salty.

And judging by how fast me and my colleagues "sapu-ed" this dish, I can safely declare that this Steamed Ham Yue Fa Lam was the winner of the day.

There was also this Steamed Pa Tin Fish, which is very very delicious. The fish is really fresh, and the soya sauce is of good grade. But I think it cost the most, if I'm not mistaken about RM125.

This feast of 7 dishes, plus drinks and rice for 9 person, cost a hole worth RM380 in my boss' wallet! While the food here is good and tastes very homey, it is definitely too pricey for my liking. I will come back for sure, but only with the presence of my loaded boss! Kekekeke...But hey, instead of wasting money on those Hong Kong-styled cafes and their wannabes, why not splash it all at this authentic Hong Kong restaurant? Oh by the way, they also offer an affordable lunch sets from RM8.00 onwards.

I would have give Bonny's Kitchen a 5 stars if not because of the exorbitant price. But do check it out.
