golden Sweet

I’ve always wanted to blog about this place for the longest time, but it was in cold storage for quite a while since I was never quite satisfied with my photos. Now though, I think I have a few decent enough to show off a favourite eatery of mine, Golden Sweet Home Restaurant. It hosts numerous hawker stalls and is a popular destination for those staying within Bandar Manjalara and around Tesco Village Kepong.

 

Situated on a row of shop lots that also has several eating places including another coffee shop with its hawkers and a dim sum restaurant, it does fairly well. The photo above was taken on a weekend and you can be sure its packed that way every weekend and public holiday.



One thing about this hawker place is that it closes quite early, albeit at an undetermined time. What you can be sure of however is that there’ll be no stall for you to buy food from if you go there at two in the afternoon.

Occupying two corner lots, many of the tables and chairs are put in between them. To cool that area, there’re extendable canvas roofs and medium sized water spraying fans but if you sit too close to one of them, you’ll earn the right to a constant drizzle as you eat.

With stalls on both corner lots, there’s good variety for people to choose from. Chicken rice, various noodle dishes, fried rice, vegetarian and ‘nasi lemak’ even, every typical Chinese hawker food you can think of is probably there.







Something I should say that you’ll probably have figured out if you’ve been reading carefully is that Golden Sweet Home is more of a brunch place rather than just lunch or breakfast. The waffles are good, the fried rice is tasty; I have yet try anything I felt was bad.

Interestingly, the wonton noodles, although not the best you’ll get in Malaysia, the char siew that comes with it is really something. I did blog before about Sun Ming, the place for roast pork and char siew here, and the char siew served with wonton noodles certainly meets Sun Ming’s standard, even if the pieces are a little smaller. Its a rare case where you could say its char siew served with wonton noodles instead of the other way around.

I haven’t tried all of the food from all the stalls at Golden Sweet Home, but there’s something there that I bet every person that has been there has tried at least once. Its something that really is unique and that you don’t find in many hawker centres around Malaysia even I dare say.



Out of the many foods at Golden Sweet Home, this personal favourite of mine is what keeps me going back there as much as I can. Those aren’t fried wontons by the way. They’re fried meat dumplings also known as ‘pot stickers’. The right amount of crunch and crispy together with lovely minced meat on the inside make for a perfect breakfast or brunch-like meal and that’s available at Golden Sweet Home.



The pot stickers are good enough as they are on their own, and even better when you dip it in ginger laced vinegar sauce. As I said before, its really difficult to find a stall selling this at any hawker centre so it really is a big deal in itself.

That’s something I find quite special about Golden Sweet Home. There are other stalls of course, like the ones that sell noodle soup, chicken rice, nasi lemak, pastries too. Even if you don’t like what I like, I’m sure you’ll find something there for yourself, even if you’re vegetarian I might add. If you’re ever looking for a place for brunch, you might want to give Golden Sweet Home a run for the money.
