Boston Baru @ Klang

This trip on a Friday night with work buddies is planned and I tagged along. Upon consulting Mr Google, this place is a quite notoriously known for its long 2 hr wait queue. Take numbers wait then get seated and wait.

The 2 hour wait queue. I actually dread waits like this, but so many are not discouraged at all it seems!

Parking can be found anywhere, preferably park on the next block, not direct ly in front as illegal caretaker will collect car park fee.

First after almost 2 hr wait and 30 min sitting chatting and wondering, the 'chiu pai Chao meen' arrived. It has a salty and sourish gravy, pretty appetising and I think very similar to one kind of Malay style fried noodle. Not bad.

Next moonlight Koay teow or 'yue kwong meen' has a combination of lard and distinct peppery flavor. It's super smooth Koay teow is due to the raw egg topping. Overall, it's decent but in my opinion abit overrated from what I read from other blogs. Pork lard is a good bonus to its taste for those that love em. Not sure if raw egg mixed like this is good hygiene enough, but screw it, eat first so far so good, touch wood.

Fried mantis prawn in butter gravy. It's the perfection of batter mix, balanced flavoring and excellent frying techniques. We get piping hot and very crunchy to taste mantis prawn slathered with sweet and butter aroma filled gravy. It's a winner in my book since I really love those crunchy and buttery foodie.

One of the waiter that served us asked with a raised eye brow, only 6 of you guys, indicating that we are ordering quite a lot. We ordered 4 large dish of trademark 'shiong tong lala' or what's they call 'lat tong lala' the reason why this restaurant gets all the attention and 2 hours waiting patronage.

This is also a good dish, ample amount of sliced ginger, chilli padi and fried garlic. It's their trademark and the clams served are fresh. Would recommend to try at least once, but be mentally prepared for the long wait unless you come as early as 5.30pm right when the store is opening. Beware of the spiciness of the clam soup, makes my mouth watery just thinking about it, so good hehe.

4 large lat thong lala, all finished by 6 of us. Total 10 dish done by us after waiting in hunger for 2+ hr..Were struggling with the green and nestum mantis prawn.

Here is their hokkien mee or 'tai lok meen' which some claim is one of the finer dish here. Personally i found it just average, and lacking distinct pork lard presence, it's there but a bit lacking (anyway that's my opinion of what makes a good Tai lol meen'. The one shop i blogged previously about in mahkota cheras is actually better than this.

One of the last dish is the nestum fried mantis prawn. Same as the butter version frying technique is excellent, but the batter mix is too salty and too sweet. This one is super crunchy, super salty and super sweet. Maybe it's a moment's failure as they are calling for table #90+ now. My only lament on both mantis prawn dishes is there are alot of small pieces of mantis prawn and fried batter pieces, so the dish actually appear bigger than it's supposed to be.

Total damage this time is RM183. Pretty good for the taste, but i guess no thanks for next time, the wait is abit too much for me.
