Lan Je is another restaurant that I had put on the back burner for a long time. Imagine that Wendy had told me about the place like two years ago and only recently, we made a visit there. I had heard that the queue at Lan Jie is almost as famous as their steamed fish. Thanks for the heads up from food blogs, we headed there really early and by 6.30 pm on a weekday evening we were happily seated in the restaurant.
There's only one style for the steamed tilapia (RM14 - RM18 varies according to sizes) except the level of spiciness - mild, normal or extra spicy. CS had banned me from eating anything spicy reason being my on-and-off gastric pain, so all I could review was their non spicy steamed tilapia. We followed what others recommended - ordering one fish each for ourselves though at the end of the meal, I found finishing one whole fish by myself was really excessive. We waited for half an hour for our fish albeit there's only a few tables around, so I guess it really takes that long to steam a fish?
Topped with loads of chopped garlic, ginger and some birds' eye chilies, I would say they suppressed the natural tilapia muddy taste really well while its freshness is something to write home about.
The Kung Po (stir fried with dried chilies) cuttlefish was pretty good too. It's hard to find food with decent Kung Po sauce but I am satisfied with this one at Lan Je.
Direction : Go through Persiaran Surian from The Curve to the direction of Segi College. Pass by the college and continue to go straight. You will see big outlets of KFC, Pizza Hut and Mc Donald on your right but still, continue on for a few more meters and turn left to an area with new shoplots. The best landmark would be the Mee Gulam shop and Lan Je is just behind this row.
