Next in my quest to find good local delicious homemade food brings me to Taman Dato Harun. This wondeful food market is not to be mistaken with the one near the mosque but rather about a minutes drive heading towards Taman Medan along PJS2/2. You can't miss this place. At 5pm, it has probably one of the longest rows of food stalls in Klang Valley stretching almost half of PJS2/2 and a quarter of PJS 2/3. Now that's long. What I love about this place is that you can get the typical malay kuih's and also laksa's, malay nasi biriyani, putu piring, ikan bakar, ayam golek and other stuff.

The market has a nice aroma due to the different types of food grilling on skewers, pans and others. Also, due to the sheer variety of foods sold, you can find almost anything you want here. One of my favourites is the Alladin's Grilled Chicken which is grilled specially in an aluminium casing with a glass front.

There is also a long queue for Popiah Kak Raja. Nice malay spring rolls. Kak Raja's spring roll skin is homemade and has a nice sweet chilli base. This is topped with sweet sauce, taugeh, sliced cucumbers and ground nuts. Modus Operandi? Pick a card and wait your turn. Mine's number 38.

My favourite roti jala is here as well. Several sellers weaving their craft to find that perfect roti jala. Here the roti jala is soft, moist and delicious with curries. You will also find a mee rebus seller that has been selling mee rebus for over 30 years. An old man joyfully dishing out yellow noodles with gravy. I can go on and on but better still, come here yourselves for a great food adventure....
