Mei Yen kept saying she very the hungry when we met up at 5pm. As a result, we agreed to have early dinner before the little princess Mei Yen fainted down or got gastric, ahaha.. Too early for me actually, but since I’m a sincere person, no problem! See, that’s called friend ok, be tolerant and caring to each other!! *Eksyen*
I’m this piggish person already made some research on special and attractive restaurants that new opened in The Gardens before the day, ehehe.. So I suggested to try at either Sushi Zen (Wai Yong loves Japanese food) or Fong Lye Taiwanese Restaurant (I wanted to try out this so long long ago!! :p). The “election” result from four of us was Fong Lye, yeah! (^;^) Before walking to Fong Lye, the decoration and crowds inside gave us confidence to dine there, it wouldn’t be wrong too much for following where crowds go. We stepped in happily lor then.
WaiYong: Ermmm... This looks nice, that looks nice too.. Which one to choose leh.. Aiyo, sakit kepala!!
If you order any tea from the menu, it will be serve in this authetic teapot and little cups.The selection list from menu made four of us excited n looked forward to taste it as much as possible, haha, tham chiak!! Half of selection from the menu are set meal (1 person), and the rest: A’ la carte, appetizer, side order, dessert, beverage and etc.
The following are what we ordered and the comment for each of them:
Appetizer, Sweet Potato Ball (地瓜球) RM 4.80
The most special thing about this lovely appetizer was, it came the last among the food, hahha.. Sweet potato ball is favorite delight for Taiwanese and you can get it easily from most of streets in Taiwan. The main ingredients are mashed sweet potato and Tapioca starch. All ingredients are mixed into dough, deep-fried, and then sweet potato ball will be born! It tastes like Malay’s Cucuk Ubi, but when u bite the ball, it gives u the feel like puff, wonder how the chef make it! Hence, it not as sweet as Cucuk Ubi, so even u finished whole plate of it, your stomach wouldn’t filled much, there’s still more spaces for food to go! If the Sweet Potato came first for the meals, I believe it would be a good start for the dining. I like this one!
Set Meal, the Three Varieties Supreme Diced Chicken (三杯鸡) RM 18.80
Included in the set meal were: Three varieties diced chicken in clay pot, soup of the day (lotus brewed with chicken), two pieces little deep-fried thingy, pickled cucumber and a bowl of rice topped with Taiwanese beloved braised mince meat. One thing should praise for Fong Lye is, they served the exact varieties in a set meal like what people do in Taiwan, didn’t cut-off anything to save cost or effort (like lots of restaurants). Wendy & Mei Yen claimed the chicken was a little too sweet and salty, but for me such heavy taste lover, it really good and just nice! Even better when have it with rice! One thing to be noted, if you’re not use to basil leaves’ smell. Please do not try this or you will just leave the chicken over.
Taiwanese Deep Fried Boneless Chicken (盐酥鸡) RM 8.80
Thumbs up for the deep fried chicken! The cutlet’s out layer was crunchy and juicy for the inner part, “ho liao”! Again, the basil leaves were use for the selection but it didn’t leave much unique fragrant after deep fried together with chicken. It’s really wonderful when I recalled the moment the chicken melt in my mouth in juice with crunch… Owhh.. A must try item for fried stuffs’ lover!
The disappointed items were Taiwan Style Fried Clam (台式炒啦啦) RM13.80 and TW Meat Ball (肉圆) RM5.80 
The fried clams tasted like home-style cooking like normally our mom did, fried with garlic and a little oyster sauce (additional ingredient used by Fong Lye was again, basil leaves). This way of cooking style for clams is to bring out the freshness and succulence of the clams (provided the clams are really fresh). Unfortunately, the clams used that day weren’t that fresh and it tasted yucky for me. I couldn’t stand for non-fresh poultry and seafood. If you want to go for this, make sure u double confirm with their waiter/tress that the clams for the day is fresh enough.
Next, Taiwan meat ball. The meat ball wasn’t similar with the meatball we had in local. It’s like giant dumpling which the thick skin was made from sticky rice starch with mushroom braised minced meat filling. The meat ball has really thick + tasteless skin (at least 1cm I think) and filling inside was pity little. Personally feel the meat ball was terrible but Wai Yong seems like enjoy it, she finished another half of giant meat ball after three of us gave up on this item. Haha..
Wendy: Yeah.. I'm on camera! Give you a sweet sweet smile.. Hiak hiak..
Finally, dessert time came! Peanut Snow Mountain (花生泡泡冰) RM7.80
Peanut Snow Mountain is water ice in peanut flavor. The water ice was really smooth and rich with peanut paste. You could get the gamy peanut savor for every single mouth, woooohh… Syok!! Wendy kept praising the peanut snow mountain from her first taste until bottom of the water ice. Four of us LOVE this! Another must try item for Fong Lye. 
Foooh... the food all gone like after tornado *gigling*
Total bill was RM 78.90 and about RM20 for each of us, reasonable price huh.. Nice décor , clean condition and good ambiance, I will pay for another visit to try out many other food on their menu. Looking forward!!
Adress: Lot T-208, Level 3, The Gardens, Mid Valley City.
Nice..... Will definitely give a visit!!
