Thong Kee Restaurant — Restaurant in Pahang

Thong Kee wasn't always that famous in the past - in Bentong, yes, because they are one of the old establishment and unless you go to Bentong often, this place will not ring a bell. That is, until recent years when this name started to sprout in Klang Valley - Pandan Indah, Seapark PJ, Kepong, Puchong, and Glenmarie.

The younger generations of the original Thong Kee were the one that started the evolution and expanded their operations. Sometimes I'd go to their Seapark branch just for their cup of tea... food-wise unless you go for their toast and egg, the rest will depends on the stall operators.

The original Thong Kee in Bentong however, have since adapted to new ordering style using tablet for more efficiency. A lot of nice food stalls plying their trade here. One of them is the wantan mee but this time I didn't order.

◾their teh/kopi are one of the better ones around... And I particularly like their signature 1+1 which is basically cham (teh + kopi) which packed with the power to kick-start any caffeine addict's day ◾Kaya & butter croissant - of course they have regular bread but croissant is one of their main draw here. ◾char kuey teow - located at the back of the restaurant, this stall is own of the most popular ones. ◾"man zhai" ham sap gai pei fan - new kid on the block... The ham sap chicken was very good, both taste- and texture-wise. I ordered few extra pieces of chicken as I could not get enough of this perfectly roasted poultry. Good to go with rice definitely... ◾Yong taufu - if you do not know already, Bentong is also famous for its taufu pok and I ordered few pieces of taufu pok stuffed with fish paste plus the fish ball itself.

On weekends, it was packed with people - both locals and outstations - as this town is very popular with one-day-trip tourists.

P.S: Before someone highlights, these pictures were taken pre-MCO so do not...

Used to like this kopitiam. Drinks were great and food was too.

Was there this noon. Had cham ping, coffee was too strong. Food sold out too fast so i ordered the tasty char kuey teow.

Ordering drinks or bread stuff was a hassle since the recent years they adopted the order from counter only. Since i was alone i sat down on a table that i managed to get and raised my hand for service. The young lady told me to order from counter, ok. Who'll reserve the table for me? I was smart to leave my glasses on table and walked to the counter to order. Upon returning, there was someone sitting on 'my' table. I told her i left my glasses to reserve the table, she sat there looking the other way. Gosh...not making a scene, i found the next table just emptied.

When my drink was served after waving it was mine, i complained. The young lady just lifted her shoulders on why should they wait at the tables?

Food is still good, drinks have gone from kaw to kawkaw but service this way was a total put off. Not going back if they don't...

The food there r delicious, but be prepared cause the price is a bit pricy since its a tourist attraction, so please dont come here on sunday morning cause its hard to find a seat, come at afternoon if u have no choice.

The food /drink thats special:

Geng cou ping Its a drink at which they will mix coffee and milo (choclate flavoured beverage) together, cost around RM3

1+1 1+1 is one of the special drink at here. The only ingredients i know is that they mix coffee into it. Definitely worth a try. It costs probally RM3- RM4

Croissant with butter, ham n cheese The taste is just as normal, but it cost RM6, its depend on your like.

Besides, there's few choices there, such as Wan ton mee Wan ton mee is a type of chinese noodles thats famous in malaysia, this stall is definitely worth a try.

Chicken rice I have never try it, so i dont know the taste

Pan mee A type of noodle that make of flour that cooked with vege in anchovy stock.

Thats all i can think of, theres srill much out there that...
