Ping Wah at Petaling Jaya: Restaurant Review

I’m half-Hainanese, which makes Ping Wah in PJ’s Taman Paramount an extremely easy recommendation.

Hainanese Soul Food

There’s a feast of comforting soul food here – savoury braised potato with pork (RM8) to tangy fish maw with pineapples (RM12) & the piece de resistance, which you might spot on every table: Hainanese-style fluffy ‘choy poh’ egg (RM8).

Variety of Proteins

Ping Wah’s crispy village duck (RM24) seems a bit dry, but it does come in a hearty portion; meanwhile, the village chicken with crispy ‘choy poh’ (preserved turnip) is tasty but pricey at RM18 for a less substantial serving. The deep-fried senangin fish with ginger & soy sauce (RM4.50 per 100 grams) & fried bitter gourd are both serviceable.
