Crispy Fried Chicken Wednesday in Segambut.
And it's not every day that you'll get this crispy fried chicken. They sell it on Wednesdays and Saturdays only. Not sure what they serve on other days of the week, but I heard it's Economy Rice with a wide variety of dishes, ranging from fish to pork to vegetables.
How to get there? GPS your way to Segambut somehow, turn right at the first junction after Yu Ai Seafood Noodles and follow your nose to a shop that packs and sells strong local coffee powder, and across the road you'll see a makeshift aluminium hut that sits under a humongous tree - that will be it.

Koon Kee Magical Wan Tan Mee.
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'.
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.
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.

Hon Kee. Famous Porridge since 1959.
This is the 2nd of 3 'June' expeditions... it's not often that we get the chance to visit Petaling Street (KL's very own Chinatown), simply because of the distance from our workplace.



Wait a bit for the steaming hot bowl of Mixed Pork Porridge to arrive...



But when you keep it to a small group of 2 or 3 the most in one car, you can go straight downtown, park at the old Rex cinema, walk quickly over to Hon Kee, a really tiny shop hidden behind fake apparel stalls along the starting point of Petaling Street on the left...
Catch a glimpse of how the inside of Hon Kee looks like. Make your orders quickly...
Walk across the road, go behind the famous Air Mata Kucing (Longan drink) stall...
And onto the blocked-out sidewalk next to the Hong Leong bank...
Mix in the additional order of Sang Yee (raw fish slices) into the hot bowl... and chomp it down nice and easy, before you pay up.
Then walk out onto the bustling Petaling Street again to hunt for Uncle Lau Tak Wah (a name that's strikingly similar to the Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau)...
Get the Chinese-style Apom Balik (rice flour pancake) with coconut centre for a perfect end to a glorious one2two.
And head on back to work. All within a little over an hour.
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).

The Bread Shop.
Delightfully How Yekee.
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.
