Kokok kok kok~ Let's go to Kokok Restaurant!

Supper is consider as a staple meal for most KL-lites. For some, it is even the first meal of then day! Yes, we KL people have wierd hours due to work, or just plain..for fun!

As most of you would know by now, I am one of those draculas who love to be under the moonlight. Of course, my favourite pass time is looking for food at that particular hour and mind you, the food must be good!

If you are familiar with the Pudu (Yes, near the old jail) area, you will definitely notice a row of shoplots that sell Chicken Rice till the wee hours of the morning. One is Hor Por Chicken Rice Restaurant while the other is Kokok Restaurant. I'm actually a fan of Kokok's because the service there is pretty good and best of all, you can just park by the roadside like it belongs to your grandfather. (Wee hours of the morning, remember? No traffic. ^_^)

It's signature dish is its Roasted Chicken but somehow, I don't find it that good. I actually enjoy other dishes that they serve such as its Curry Pork Ribs, Spicy and Sour Vegetables and Claypot Braised Pork.


*Curry Pork Ribs*

The Curry Pork Ribs which is an unusual find is cooked until the ribs are tender but not dry. As you can see from the picture, it is rather creamy and yes, it has a wonderful coconut milk aroma that makes you salivate with just a sniff.


*Spicy and Sour Vegetables*

A sucker for anything spicy and sour, the Spicy and Sour Vegetables is a must have for me. I even made the pig to takeaway just this particular dish for me on a few midnight cravings session. The vegetables are boiled till extremely soft like baby's food and the gravy, mmmm...sweet, sour, and spicy! To some of it, this dish may be rather unhealthy as the vegetable is overly boiled but this is how this dish is suppose to be. In the old days, this dish is cooked during winter with whatever leftovers the family has. A good way to "recycle" and keep the tummy and body warm.


*Claypot Braised Pork*

The wonderful Claypot Braised Pork is a definite must have. Its gravy itself is good enough for me to have two bowls of rice! (I hate rice, rememeber?) The meat, braised till soft with the flavour infused into it. It also has the correct amount of fat and lean meat. This particular dish has earned praises from everyone that I have brought them over. Seriously, it is that yummy!

Besides the above mentioned dishes, the restaurant also serves Roasted Pork (Siu Yuk), Grilled Pork (Char Siew) and Steamed White Chicken (Bak Gai) like any other Chicken Rice stall/restaurant/shop. In order to cater to everyone, they even had noodles dishes which I can't read as all of them was in Chinese and in extremely tiny writing for my not-so-good eyes.

Do give it a try especially if you need good food at wierd hours of the day!

Location: The restaurant is located along Jalan Pudu in shoplot opposite of Farmland Restaurant and Caltex Petrol Station. In fact, it is exactly opposite of a car dealer. Yes, it is extremely near the famour Pudu Wai Sek Kai.

Cleanliness: OK. Expect some "pets".

Price: Reasonable for that cuisine at that kind of hours.

Opening hours: 6.00pm till 4.30am

Hopped over from the Ultimate List...When I first found out about this place along with the neighbouring ones, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's open till wee hours of the morning!

wmw: I was surprised too when I first got to know about it. Chicken rice as supper was a little off for me back then. Haha. If you read my blog more often, you'll notice lots of my post are actually on places that open till wee hours of the morning coz that's why I'll have cravings. Haha
