No MSG, No taste?

No way. No such thing. Not really. That are the answers. 

For restaurant that want to serve quick and tasty food their simple solution always lie in MSG, in fact it's a rarity for restaurant not using MSG nowadays, with luck I found two restaurants in the vicinity of Subang Jaya claim that their food are MSG free. No it doesn't mean you are getting MSG for free but they are confident enough to not rely on that chemical call MSG, so good culinary skill that draw the taste out of fresh food need to come in place. I notice that common trait in this type of cooking is the serving might take a little bit longer to be ready, because they skip the shortcut of using MSG, so will they be more expensive then?

Fried BaiGou @ RM6.50
Come out from cocoon, the first place to introduce is a chinese restaurant located at USJ1 USJ Sentral(opposite Giant) with a long name - 'It's Piping Hot Little Hokkien Kitchen'. As the name suggested this restaurant is specialize in hokkien dishes, one of their popular dish is curry Pan Mee, some rarely found hokkien type of noodles - Fried potato starch & Fried BaiGou are also in the menu. The taste is reasonably good and you can walk out this place without big hole in the pocket and guilt free.




For those who is looking for something more western or fusion (though here also serve local delights). Here at Zinglicious(Opposite Subang Jaya Toyota service center and next to Shell station) you can get your value-for-money in term of gastronomy experience and healthy food conscience wise, you can't tell it's no MSG. Of course the chatty Chef is also very proud of his VIP drinks featured below, brought to you all the way from USA.




Healthy and tasty, with food like that who want to die early :D? Hints: Try it fast before the chef fly out of country. But bring enough cash ....... because their credit card machine can be sentimental or non existence :)
