PJ Old Town Food Court.

There are but only a handful of food courts across KL and PJ that can truly match up to the variety of top-class local delicacies at the Taman Selera food court, located at the junction of Jalan Othman and Jalan Selangor, of PJ Old Town.

Here you'll be thrilled to discover the most incredible Kie Kee Braised Chicken, served with optional Char Siew (Caramalised BBQ Pork), Siew Yook (Crispy Roasted Pork) and rice. When you bite into the meat and skin, you'll taste an explosion of flavour that comes from the blend of mixed spices and soy sauce.

Other goodies to try are the Wild Boar Curry from the same stall; Seong Kee Vinegar Pork Leg that gets your taste buds to lace-up the best pair of dancing shoes and continuously boogie hours after your meal is done; and Weng Kee Ais Kacang or Air Batu Campur (ABC) that combines shaved ice with Gula Melaka (palm sugar), evaporated milk and an assortment of condiments namely red beans, herbal jelly bits, sweetcorn, roasted groundnuts and more.

And the one more dish that we would've loved to order, but didn't, because it would've been too much to finish, is the Chinese-style Claypot Fish Head Curry, cooked with deliciously rich coconut milk, aromatic mixed spices, vegetables and beancurd puffs.

Last but not least, did I also mentioned there's a stall at the opposite end from these stalls - they serve some absolutely yummy Indian curries. My favourite – the Bone Marrow Mutton Curry.

It's madness, I tell you.

Triple Farewell Bash at Kanna Curry House.

What do you do when you have a big group of hungry friends – some who do not eat pork; some who'd rather not have anything to do with beef but would fancy a piece or two of curry-laced fried Tenggiri fish; some who'd prefer a plate of Deep Fried Chicken, Mutton Masala, Deep Fried Fish Roe or Chili Prawns; some who haven't had deep fried battered squid for some time but would really love some immediately – and who all are crazy for different kinds of curries to go with eat-all-you-want steamed white rice and a variety of vegetables, some papadums, and maybe with a cup of fresh yogurt too, served on a banana leaf?

Kanna Curry House. Jalan 17/45, PJ. 603-7958 4814. On top a hill behind Lisa de Inn, a building that's shaped like a lavishly decorated birthday cake. You won't miss the outlandish landmark.

Footnote: Good luck to Aliff, Casey and Mandy. May the pastures you're leaving M&C Saatchi Malaysia for be as green as banana leaves.

Koon Kee Magical Wan Tan Mee.

For 'June' expedition #3, 4 of us drove out to June Liew's favourite family wan tan mee haunt in Uptown Damansara.

Located right across the road from an opened car park, parking your car should be a breeze. But you may also indulge in a little excitement by parking illegally by the roadside on the 'yellow line'.

Now, about Koon Kee's Wan Tan Mee... first impression failed big time. The char siew (bbq pork) didn't looked like they were done well; neither crispy nor caramelised enough. And the noodles looked too thick and colourless. Everything seemed suspiciously wrong.

Then I tasted the noodles. The flavour that's absorbed into it gushed out. The texture, the blend of sauce, the understated charred pork, everything, and I mean everything, simply fell into place. Like magic.

For variety sake, you get to choose the stewed chicken feet with mushrooms as toppings.

Or, for the not so adventurous, the plain shredded chicken strips.

As centre dishes, you can order extra helpings of Wan Tan pork dumplings, and/or the vegetarian goose (deep fried beancurd skin) from a different stall.

All in all, it's yet another truly satisfying one2two. To the few who pulled out from this trip - I'd make another trip with you guys soon.

Cristang at 8 Avenue.

I'm currently employed under a one month consultancy contract at an advertising agency, which makes me a colleague of a certain June Liew, who is a knowledgeable foodie in her own rights.

This is the first in the 'June' series of expeditions...

Cristang, is a dimly lit restaurant with an expansive menu that is probably more suited for a dinner and beer occasion.

But we're here for one2two, and the sound of a home-style pork and petai burger sounds too good to be true.

They name this 'Urban Legend'.

The potato wedges are real and roasted with skin. The buns are toasted lightly to slightly crispy. The generous portion of minced pork and petai (stink beans) sits comfortably on top the thick and juicy pork patty. The freshly sliced onions, tomatoes and greens complete the masterpiece.

I'd pay RM23++, again and again, for this.

Among the many choices of pork, chicken and fish dishes, the spicy-sounding Bacon Rib Ambila caught our attention. And our instincts were deadly right. RM18.80 well spent. Plus an extra RM1.30 for a complementing plate of white rice.

Tucked away at B-G-19, 8 Avenue, Jalan Sungai Jernih (8/1), PJ, this is a perfect joint for vampires seeking to escape KL's blistering afternoon sun, and an excellent pork and beer one2two.

Number to call: 012 226 2698 (Gerald G. Oei).

Delightfully How Yekee.

A bunch of us headed out to Section 17, PJ to try out the homemade wantan mee place that was located a few doors up the block from How Yekee. But it was closed.

So further down Jalan SS17/10 we went, to the corner shop. How Yekee is one of the strangely named kopitiams that carry one or two of my favourites.

The Kampar Noodles being one, served in delightful curry, tomyam or plain soup. And an excellent variety of Kampar Noodles 'yong liu' treats that you'll get in up-north Ipoh but seldom find in restaurants across PJ or KL.

Then there's the Little Wok Fookin Mai Fun Meen (Hokkien Fried Meehoon Mee) that is complemented by crunchy cabbage, choy sum, prawns and pork slices, deliciously fried in glorious black caramelised soy sauce.

Obviously, the intended place of visit was completely erased from our minds.

Jaya Noodle House. Since 1975.

Jaya One is but one of many commercial areas in PJ that offers an excellent variety of restaurants. From Chinese cuisine to Tex Mex, to that Belgian beer place, Japanese and Vegetarian, you name it they have.

One shop you don't want to miss out is this place.

Betty's Midwest Kitchen.

If you're thinking of pigging out, there are, honestly, lots of fabulous restaurants and amazing kopitiams to go to across KL and PJ.

You can opt for the economical ones, the medium priced ones, and the unashamedly pricey ones. But they're all good ones, I would assume.

Betty's is from the medium priced category, with an added 'value-for-money' tag.

Basically, their pork ribs does not cost an arm and a leg. They cost around RM20 to RM30. The portions, are not small either.

And the quality is consistent throughout. From the starters...

To a variety of burgers...

To the country-style fried chicken...

Right down to their 'Dog Food'. (The pet name for a bowl of dripping wet, cheesy fries).

Their desserts, however, are rather disappointing.

Where is this place? Bring out your Garmin and key in A-G-40, Jalan PJU 1/43, Aman Suria Damansara, Petaling Jaya. Tel:03-7880-0196.

Closed on Mondays. Business as usual from Tuesdays to Fridays: 11am-10pm. Saturdays and Sundays: 10am-10pm.

Hoe Fong Chicken Rice.

Despite the fading signboard, the oil-dipped fried chicken still appeals to many. Though it's still heavily debated if they're really all that great.

Some say the quality and taste remain the same, decade after decade. I'd say it's really alright if you've not been around to try out other places much. This is definitely so-so for me.

But I'd give credit where credit's due. Kudos to the hunchback with a cleaver. Rumour has it, she used to stand straight and tall, like the KL Tower, till all the chicken-chopping action, and postmenopausal osteoporosis, got the better of her.

Last but not least, if there's one thing that'll get me to return here, apart from seeing the hunched old lady with those expert hands again, it will surely have to be the oil-dipped fried chicken liver and gizzards. They're heaven sent.

Too bad I can't say the same about their new addition to the menu - Penang Lobak (deep fried seasoned pork rolled in soya beancurd skin, a dish originated from our up north state in Penang).

The address: Hoe Fong Chicken Rice. Along Jalan 21/17, Seapark, Petaling Jaya. (Across the road from Sun Fatt Kee).

Sun Fatt Kee.

On a day when we couldn't decide on where to go for our one2two, we dropped by S.E.A. Park, PJ, for various options of rice and noodles dishes.

Base on a tip by a friend who lives in the neighbourhood, we headed over to Sun Fatt Kee of Jalan 21/11B, located just behind Maybank for some Curry Laksa and a mixed bowl of beef brisket and tripe soup.

The top prize goes to the fabulous Curry Laksa, a coconut milk-based curry soup noodles, served with boneless chicken strips, fried beancurd puffs, long beans, beansprouts, and raw cockles that sit on top but cooks easily in the hot curry soup.

Most Curry Laksa you get elsewhere lacks the 'zing' that this bowl provides. It was a totally memorable meal.

But if you think that was it, you're wrong... for a 2nd round of one2two, we walked across the road to the T junction where the famous Hasan's Rojak truck is always parked.

The Mamak (Indian Muslim) who runs the business has 2 more brothers with similar trucks (one in SS2, not sure where the other one is) that carry the Hasan's name, which is their father who started the business over a decade ago in the northern state of Penang.

Now Mr. Hasan has passed on, but his legacy of Passembor Rojak with the crispy grated coconut fritters, crunchy prawn fritters, prawn crackers, fried taufoo (beancurd), grated strips of cucumber and turnip, and unique, thick, sweet sauce that is poured over the cut pieces – lives on.

No frills Ninja.

Ninja Joe may just be the unstealthiest ninja ever. It stands out in bright red on the Lower Ground of Tropicana City Mall. You'll no doubt see it as you walk in from the car park. Address: LG18, Tropicana City Mall, No.3 Jalan SS20/27, PJ. Tel: 603-77250834.

Apparently, Ninja Joe has something special lined up for anyone named Joe – RM1 off any Ninja meal (valid for non-promo items only).

And, Ninja Joe do have remarkable powers to reel you in with 6 types of frill-free mini pork burgers (sized much bigger than White Castle's, thank goodness): Original, Teriyaki, Black Pepper, Oriental, Sweet & Sour and Spicy.

On the side, there are the 'pork and mash' nuggets shaped like deadly Shurikens (which unfortunately didn't quite cut it for me) and/or lightly salted crinkle cut fries. Plus you get a choice of Green Tea, Lemonade or Coffee to wash them down.

For dessert, you have the Mango or Green Tea ice-cream that comes in a small paper cup.

The one I had was over-the-temperature frozen, and it took more than half an hour to thaw.

But, the Ninja bosses (TJ Tee & Janz Tan) did assure me that it'll be set right, plus the Shurikens will be fresh and piping-hot, on my next visit.

I'll be looking forward to it.

This is really it.

It was the day of Michael Jackson's This Is It movie premiere in KL.

Appropriately, the one2two crew made a unanimous decision to drop by SS14/29, PJ, for some Jackson's Burger.

I've eaten here before, but it was really a long time back.

And not surprisingly, what used to be just a small stall is now a well-equipped van that still sits under a really tall tree, outside the house they used to rent in 1973 - 5 years after they started this lucrative business at another residential garden - Taman Jaya, PJ, in 1968.

Yes, do bring out your calculator and start pressing those buttons.

Almost 41 years ago. That's how long it has been since they've grilled their first self-made burger patty.

Unlike the patties you get at the homegrown Ramly chain of burger stalls, the Jackson's patties are freshly made and preservative-free.

So, instead of shrinking in size when grilled, they kinda like expand and break apart slightly. And they get really crispy rather quickly.

Without a doubt, you can easily gobble down 2 or 3 beef or chicken or fish burgers, and still have room for another hotdog or 2. Not because they're small in size, but because they're super delicious. And they cost only RM2.80 a burger, and an additional RM0.70 for a 'special'.

And you get to enjoy your one2two alfresco-style, or wait in your car for takeaways. And don't forget to ask for mustard, if you fancy mustard, or you won't get any.

At the end of it all, I was totally satisfied but, there was still a looming question: "Who is this Jackson guy?" The aunty at the grill gave a slight grin and answered coolly: "He was nobody. Jackson was just a name cooked up by some customers in the early days."

Now, come on. I don't buy that. Do you? In 1968, Michael Jackson would've been 10 years old. How old would Billie Jean be? Maybe...
