157 Jalan SS 2/6, 47300 Petaling Jaya
Mum and Dad had frequented the 'old Chow Yang' in SS2 many a time in the past, but thought that it had closed down. Only after I heard from a colleague (who loves to eat!) that it was still there 'in another form', went for a towering Roti Tisu at Kayu Nasi Kandar (the original location of Chow Yang), and had 'sang-hah mee' with Aunty Peng and Aunty Chin recently ... did I find out that Chow Yang was very much still alive. BUT, could it cut-it when it came to a proper dinner!? We found out tonight!
As legend has it ... "And also heard that the Nasi Kandar boss opened a shop behind the old Chow Yang. The owner of chow yang coffee shop gambled everything away even his shop. Nasi kandar was just renting from him at the back of his shop with a small stall and the people queing up just to bungkus frm him or to eat there such good business.
Then when the tauke of chow yang lost his shop the owner of the nasi kandar bought over frm him n opened the one now thats at the back of chow yang now."
Another legend, "He was betting on World Cup soccer but I am not too sure which World Cup he lost everything. Most probably 2002 as 1998 would be too long ago."
This legend does tally with my brief investigation from one of the staff members on what really happened. I managed to ask 2 questions whilst waiting nearly 20 minutes for the food ...
J = How long have you been here?
CY = 3 years now
J = Is this the original Chow Yang?
CY = The owners have moved on (Duh!?), this is now run by those who were previously employed at the original Chow Yang.
We had pork stew-thingy, chicken with ginger, stir fry siu pak-choi, and to-fu with crabmeat.
And, no further review or recommendation required, because Iron Chef Mum has endorsed...
Mum's verdict : THUMBS UP! "I'll be back!"
