Low key Hoi Kee.

The mere mention of Segambut frightens the living daylights out of many. "Wah, so far!"

The fact is, Segambut is just a 10 minutes drive and a roundabout away from Damansara Heights. How convenient is that?

Now if you're still not inspired by that simple fact to drive out for one2two, maybe the mention of Hoi Kee at Jalan Segambut Selatan will.

As you walk in, you'll find trays and trays of traditional kuih muih (tarts, pastries and cakes) for you to pick and choose from - for dessert or even tea time. And they finish rather quickly, so grab them while you can.

Then you move inside Hoi Kee, and on to a Chinese-style Nasi Lemak stall where you order a plate of Coconut Milk steamed rice with Chicken Curry, Chili Squid, Sambal (a spicy mix of chili, anchovies and onions), half a hard boiled egg (or more), deep fried ikan bilis (mini anchovies), slices of cucumber and more.

There are of course other options to Nasi Lemak for your consideration at Hoi Kee. There were the Wan Ton Mee, Pork Noodles and Pork Ball Noodles that kinda caught my attention a little.

And, there was also the Rojak (Fruit Salad) man, on his bike, at a corner under a tree, right outside of Hoi Kee, next to another bike with buns and what-nots.

This old dude was looking kinda ordinary until I caught sight of his jar of secret ingredient, and in that instants I knew that he's in it for the long haul.
