Lo Ma Zhi - a taste from the past

Somebody commented that it's been 8 years since my last post on this blog. It's true, and much water has flown under the bridge in that time - career move, studies etc. Eight years ago, my workplace was at Jalan Ipoh in KL and one of my favourite restaurants, Lo Ma Zhi was located just down the road along the same road. The restaurant relocated in 2018 during the MRT construction works on Jalan Ipoh and I moved to an office in the heart of KL business district. After losing touch with restaurant for almost 8 years too, I had a pleasant and memorable reconnect during the Raya holiday. Taking advantage of the toll-free and almost traffic-free roads, I made my way to the somewhat obscure location in Tropicana Selatan. Located among the landscape and plant nurseries is the (not so) new location for Lo Ma Zhi Restaurant at Lot 10, Kawasan Landskap & Nurseri, Jalan Tropicana Selatan, Persiaran Tropicana, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Some of the dishes for lunch were:

Steamed Ikan Patin - wild patin fish steamed in a simple soy sauce with some cili padi.

Smoked Platter - smoked pork belly and duck breast with smoked lychee and braised peanuts - highly recommended.

Doggy Duck - a traditional Hakka braised duck dish cooked with ginger and spices - highly recommended. 

Drunken Emperor Eggs - egg in rice wine - highly recommended.

Kam heong la-la.

Pa Wong Chicken Chop - fried chicken chops.

Salted Spice Brinjal - highly recommended.

Nanyang Vegetables - a variation of Lo Hon Chai but with added red fermented beancurd.

All the food were either excellent or good. My only complaint was that the Nanyang Vegetables were a little soggy by the time it reached the table. 

This was a trip down memory lane for me. And now that I know where they are, this will not be the last visit too. Do give it a try if you're in the area. Reservations are required so do call 010-2421132 before you visit.
