Come weekend mornings, families in Subang flock to this dim sum institution for a hearty breakfast. Hoong Foong's airy seatings are aplenty, with ample space in between for wheeling around dim sum carts. That's the other thing we love about Hoong Foong: its fresh, made-to-order dim sum that arrive at your table, wafting in steam. The sheer variety here can be overwhelming ā we recommend a mix of classics and modern recipes. The traditional Siew Mai (RM4.50) is a trio of meaty bites. Otherwise, jazz things up with the Salted Egg Yolk Mai (RM5) that is largely similar but with a boost of rich salted egg yolk. On fried morsels, be sure to get the Yam Puffs (RM4.50) that frequently sell out early. The puff is crisp and flaky on the outside and you will have to really sink your teeth in to find the layer of creamy yam and luscious meat sauce within. Cap breakfast off with an order of their iced local drinks, be it the Teh Peng (RM2.50), Kopi Peng (RM2.50) or Cham Peng (RM3.00). All three awaken with robust flavours.

A kopitiam in Subang that's full of people. 30mins of ride, 15mins of waiting table, 30mins of wait for the food to be serve.
All for the plate of Sarawak kolo mee. First time ordering a kolo mee and only realize I suppose to mention "add red" when I make my order to have the orange looking noodle. Order a second plate just to try out the difference.
Ya, the one that "add red" taste a lot better š
It's all good things at Mian. White (from RM6.90) is their rendition of Fujian's authentic Kampua noodles that comes with gleaming char siew or steamed chicken for just another RM1. The use of nuts in the sauce lends a sweetness that the Kampua noodles we're used to do not have. If you like your mian savoury, go with Black, the Sitiawan version that's more popular with KL tastebuds. Out of nowhere appears an option for Vietnamese Coffee (RM5) and it's surprisingly good!
The formerly Bangsar-famous Aunty Christina has upgraded to her own flagship this year, now selling her sublime Sarawak Laksa in Seapark. Despite the move, crowds have not diminished but take heart that the standalone joint is better equipped to serve many more laksa lovers. At RM9 a bowl, we won't count this as cheap hawker fare. It is rather, an expertly executed Sarawakian delicacy, plated with quality ingredients and sheer finesse. Every bowl comes out of the kitchen looking identical, beautifully topped with deshelled prawns, sliced chicken, omelette and coriander garnish. Because the focus of the dish is in its strong, spice-laced broth, the portion of bee hoon is kept modest so as to prevent it from soaking up all that soupy goodness. If more is better in your books, upsize your bowl for an additional RM1.
