Restaurant Nong & Jimmy (Thai Seafood BBQ) - Ampang, Selangor

-
I was looking through all my old food photos and saw these. Nong & Jimmy, one of my favourite Thai Seafood BBQ restaurant. How time flies! The last time we had Nong & Jimmy was 8 months ago. If you are looking for a pleasant, comfortable and air-conditioned dining environment, this is not the right place for you. The restaurant is covered with zinc roof, cement flooring, simple plastic tables and chairs. However, the queues were really crazy during weekends. Go early before 6.30pm to avoid the crowds. There's no proper seating arrangement. You just have to keep an eye on those customers who are leaving, stand next to the table and wait!

My favourite food in this restaurants are prawn cakes, mango salad, fried rice and black pepper style crab. Many customers will order their famous mini "yau char kwai" (golden-brown deep fried dough) served with green homemade kaya and BBQ cockles while waiting for the food to come. Since I'm not a big fan of kaya nor cockles, we skipped this starter. 

Fried rice with beaten eggs and prawns were good. It might look innocent but you can just eat it on its own. Besides that, prawn cake was delicious too. Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. Another appetizing dish is the mango salad filled with sweet and sour flavours. Consist of fried cuttlefish, peanuts, chili, sugar and fresh mango. I just love the fried cuttlefish. It's crispy and a perfect combination with the fresh mango. Black pepper style crab was good too. Slightly spicy, very flavourful but not overpowering hot. I'm not so keen on their tomyam soup that comes with prawns, squid, tomato, button mushrooms, curry leaves and spring onion. The dish was just ok for me.

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
