Shuang Xi Lou Restaurant is located at Ground Floor of Wisma MKH, Bandar Kajang which is beside RHR Hotel (formerly known as Prescott Hotel). This restaurant has plenty of parking spaces in front but mostly filled, basement parking are also available. The basement parking entrance is just beside Dr. Karim Clinic (Klinik Dr. Karim). As we stayed at RHR Hotel, we decided to have a quick lunch at this established chinese restaurant. We ordered the Fried Hor Fun, Fried Potatoes Leaves in Sambal Belachan, Steamed Eggs with seafood and dessert is Red Bean paste which is the only dessert available. As we walked in the restaurant during lunch time, there was a table of 3 customers only, we ordered the chinese tea (Pu Erh) which came immediately but food was served after 10 minutes. The Fried Hor Fun is kind of soupy instead of thick gravy appearance and the taste was fair. Then came the Fried Potatoes Leaves with Sambal Belachan which is tender, mild in spiciness and a light belachan taste. After awhile, came the Steamed Eggs with seafood which was soft and silky but the seafood content was limited, only few small shrimp, some cut squid and pieces of cut crab stick. After our meal, we had our dessert Red Bean Paste which I found to be diluted (taste and appearance), too sweet and have an over powering orangy peel taste and aroma.

Read moreWe ordered butter chicken, pumpkin sauce tofu, asam steamed fish, kam heong squid, fried brinjal, fried rice, and white rice for 10 pax. The Chinese tea was free-flow and came with peanuts. The total bill was under RM350.

The pumpkin tofu had just the right texture; not too soft or too firm. The fried rice had a nice chewy texture. The asam fish was well-balanced with sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, and the fish itself was fresh and tender. The fried brinjal was crispy throughout but could have used a bit more salt, though the sambal that came with it was delicious. The kam heong squid was flavorful, mildly crispy, and not too spicy. Parking can be tricky, especially...
Read moreDecent chinese restaurant which is reasonably priced. Lunch set meals are priced very competitively but only available during week days. Less crowded during dinner hence adding to the positives for dining here. The signature fried rice is very good. So are the fish sauce beehoon and fried wonton noodles. We normally take the signature tauhu which has really smooth tauhu and generous number of prawns. The calamari is also very good. They serve good salted steamed chicken as well but requires a pre order given time needed to prep. Selection of dessert is only the red bean paste soup and lotus paste pancake - generally, the old school chinese restaurant desserts. Chinese tea is also of good quality.
Price is not all expensive especially for an air conditioned...
