“ Heng Loong is as old school as it comes, no official signboard yet the owners have made what looked like a shack into a cozy air conditioned restaurant serving consistently good food. We went for a Sunday dinner and order the following: 1) Braised fish head (front of my photo) 2) Signature soy sauce chicken (left of my photo) 3) Pork intestines (back of the picture) 4) Potato leaves (right of the picture) As a good version of #1 isn't easy to find in KL, we were pleasantly surprised to hear it was available and it they were generous with gravy making it easier to eat with rice. Kids will enjoy mixing the gravy with rice. The soy sauce chicken (#2) was full of flavour and generously accompanied by ginger and garlic yet was not overpowered by 1 single ingredient (especially the soy sauce). It was my first time trying their pork intestines and though it tasted ok, it was a expectedly chewy however was a nice side dish and the garlic fried potato leaves didn't disappoint. As other diners noted, service was friendly from the lady boss and the wait staff were generally responsive too. Parking was easy to find despite the expected crowds at the restaurant. Our bill came to RM 160 (between 4 pax) which might be slightly above average but I would happily return and bring other friends and family to try the other items. ”
“ Tasty Chinese big wok “tai chow” which opens around 5.30pm. I like their single portion meal ~ pork ribs king rice (pai kuat wong fan) RM13, gong poh pork rice RM13, kam heong sorong rice RM14, belacan petai rice RM14. Prices are are quite expensive for a roadside diner which is air-conditioned with basic seating. It’s crowded at dinner time and especially full on weekends. ”

“ Pleasant surprise on how this kind of roadside stall has aircond. It was comfortable during dining. I recommend their braised groupa head in bean sauce, small size is Rm50. It goes really well with the rice. The soy sauce kampung chicken is pretty decent but it was oily for me despite asking them not to use so much oil. Expect the chicken meat to be a little tougher. ”
“ My first visit here was in 2019. Yesterday I dined with the same group of friends who brought me here. Food was fabulous as always, service top shelf. ”
