Do you know that the most significant landmark, Rothman’s roundabout in SS2 is now gone and replaced by traffic light to ease congestion in the area? The traffic now is alot better than before. Just sufferred when it was in construction.
The traffic lights at the crossroads which is replacing the Rothmans roundabout at SS2 here is now fully operational! I think it has been delayed for quite some time and finally it’s now ready!
The Rothmans Roundabout, one of the area’s most significant landmarks, marks the boundary for Sectiond 19, 13 and 17. It was named after the Rothmans & Pall Mall (M) Sdn Bhd premises (now known as BAT), that is located in the north-eastern corner of this photo.
The first phase would involve replacing the roundabout with traffic lights and upgrading Jalan Harapan until the SSTwo Mall while the second phase would see Jalan Harapan extended to connect to the Sprint Highway.
What do you think of this Crossroad Traffic Light @ SS2 instead of the previous Rothman’s Roundabout? I feel it’s good and dead lock caused by roundabout will not be happen in this traffic light crossroad!

Yesterday, was hungry and went to Lorong Seratus Tahun @ ss2 to have the nice Curry Mee as some other clamied but I had it and it’s not that great after all (some told me it was not halal before coz got 豬血 “pig blood” but now it’s halal). It’s RM6++ though.
After that pass by Sport Toto and thinking why not just get a few of my lucky number and try my luck as I just walk pass and it maybe it will be my winning ticket? I don’t gamble usually but it depends. Haha…
But I’m not that lucky after all, the number only came out today and it’s not Sport Toto but Magnum 4D. =(
There’s no secret to Sport Toto or Magnum 4d as it’s just pure gamble! So ppl said it can be predict by the line appear in the ticket but I would say don’t just depend on all this quick cash. Work your a** out to make a living k! 0_o
When ppl talk about Geylang 芽笼路 (aka in Chinese Hokkien “鸡笼”), it’s always refer as red-light district of Singapore. Thousands of Asian prostitutes mostly from other countries like Thailand, Indonesia, China and Malaysia work in Geylang, and visitors and locals alike flock to the area each evening and stay till morning.
But I’m not talking about that k! Besides what it’s being famous for, it’s also famous for food, especially Fresh Frog Porridge!
Always wanted to try out the Fresh Frog Porridge but didn’t get to go, but it’s our fortune that it’s in SS2 now all the way from Singapore! There’s branch in Petaling Jaya now! Finally I get to try the famous fresh frog porridge.
1 Frog RM12, 2 Frogs RM24, 3 Frog RM33
Spring Onion Frog Leg 姜葱田鸡
Dry Chilli Frog Leg 宫保田鸡
Didn’t order Frog Porridge 田鸡粥 because cannot finish so many lo coz this also quite common in Malaysia so only tried the other type claypot type.
The White Porridge 白粥 itself also taste very good! It’s not watery type but it’s very thick, almost solid paste. (Different size RM3/RM4/RM5, just order RM5 if 3-4 person is sharing, if not enough then order another small or medium portion.)
Fried Hong Kong Cabbage 炸香港芥籣
Lemon Chicken 柠檬鸡
Overall the food is nice and worth to try but I personally think that it’s a bit on high price.

Don’t know how long I never wash the car myself already. So lazy, just take the car to snow wash and vacuum only for RM8. Normally I take my car to Mobil or Caltex Station near Center Point to have snow wash. This time I tried the SS2 Car Wash near Seapark Police Station which is just next to the durian stall in SS2.
Do you wash your car by yourself? If not where you take your car to? Scare of your car being scratched?
Are you craving for Durian during the Durian season? Yeah go for the eat all you can Durian for only RM9 or RM10 but now it’s even more creative, RM20 for bigger size ppl? Haha, it was a creative joke.
These was taken last year! Haha, now the store is moved liao and it’s next to SS2 Police Station, there’s few stores selling durian. But seriously, if you want nice durian, don’t take the RM10 all you can eat, once you try the other type you will think that those all you can eat durian is yucks… You should try D2, D22, D25, D101, 竹脚, 猫生王, Udang Merah, Raja Kunyit . It’s yummy!
Murni is back to it’s mamak business again! What do you think? Just RM150 fine? I don’t think so, maybe the reported figure is RM150 but got hidden fees? And so fast now Murni reopen again after it was slapped with a summon to be closed for 14 days because of cleanliness issue. Will you still visit Murni mamak? For me I also seldom go there already but the food is really tempting.
Restaurant allowed to reopen after clean-up
A RESTAURANT in Jalan SS2/75, Petaling Jaya, where workers were seen preparing food in an unhygienic manner, was sealed for two weeks and slapped with a fine by the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ).
MBPJ Health Department officers visited the restaurant the day after the story was published in StarMetro on Sept 22. They issued an order for it to be closed for 14 days and a RM150 summons.
“The restaurant owner and the workers were ordered to clean up and upgrade the premises, and not to prepare food in the back lane and drain.
“They were also required to attend a course on food handling at the MBPJ,” said MBPJ public relations officer Zainun Zakaria.
Cleaned up: A view of the restaurant’s back lane after it was sealed for two weeks by the MBPJ for clean-up and upgrade purposes
“Our officers visited the restaurant again today (Oct 6) and found that the owners had had the premises and drain cleaned, grease trap installed, walls repainted, floor retiled and chimney replaced.
“The workers were also given Ty2 shots (inoculation against tetanus and typhoid).”
She added that the restaurant would be allowed to open the following day.
Dirty eatery sealed for two weeks but fined only RM150
By SAM CHEONG
THE Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has closed dirty eateries featured in StarMetro’s Hygiene Campaign.
Kudos to the health officers and enforcement personnel who acted promptly on a case we highlighted on Sept 22.
The council fined the operator and sealed the premises in Jalan SS2/75 for two weeks.
This is a positive move by the local authority to clamp down on food outlets with deplorable hygiene standards.
Fourteen days gave adequate time for the owner of the premises and the workers to clean up their act. But the RM150 fine imposed seemed a mere slap on the wrist for the culprit.
Our photographs on Sept 22 showed workers preparing food on the lid of an ice-box which was placed over the back lane’s drain.
Irresponsible act: Bulk waste discarded along the narrow back lane behind Jalan SS2/75.
In view of the filth and poor food handling being the main issues, RM150 is too little for the damage done. If it matter was not exposed, the eatery would probably be reaping in the profits by compromising hygiene and cleanliness.
Do you think the small fine is enough to deter food outlets from carrying out such an offence? Please e-mail us and tell us you what you think.
On Oct 6, we despatched our photographer to Jalan SS2/75 to conduct a pictorial follow-up on the area.
A section of the back lane which was used for food preparation by the restaurant had been cleaned up. But, that did not deter other premises owners there from dumping their garbage indiscriminately.
It seems that cleanliness has been a perennial problem in Jalan SS2/75. The business owners there are downright dirty and irresponsible.
Our photos showed that other traders in the same area had taken the opportunity to discard their bulk waste along the narrow back lane behind Jalan SS2/75.
We urge the local authority to keep tabs on this situation and readers can do their part by calling the MBPJ at 03-7956 3544 ext 115/117 to voice their complaints. Alternatively, they can e-mail: aduan@mbpj.gov.my
* You can make a difference. Please email photos of rats, dirty eateries and your tip-off to metro@thestar.com.my
Today few ppl told me to read this news and I was thinking it should be refer to SS2 Murni Mamak after I found out the road is “Jalan SS2/75, Petaling Jaya”. If it’s in such condition, please clean it and if not I will not ever go to the mamak again even how wonderful and how special is their food expecially those western food like spaghetti cabonara or chicken marryland and drinks especially those special fruit punch!
The condition of the cleanliness make me worried as I was one of the Murni mamak lover once upon a time. Few weeks back I just went there with my colleagues to have my lunch there as our office is near to the mamak and want to have different variety that day so decided to go Murni.
Famous Murni Loh Shee Fun! RM 5.00 (IINM) The egg is very nice but if they put for long and did not take out immediately to the customer the egg will be harden and it not taste as good.
Famous Murni Mee Raja! RM 8.00 Just like “kon lou mee”
Famous Murni Nasi Goreng Seafood RM 10.00 (IINM)
Kuih Teow Utara
Mee Java
Please fix the condition and if not for sure I will not going there in the near future. What say you?
THIS week, the focal point of our hygiene campaign is a restaurant in the SS2 commercial area in Petaling Jaya.
We received a tip-off from a reader who frequents an Indian-Muslim restaurant in the area.+
Filthy: Workers preparing food at the backlane of a restaurant in Jalan SS2/75, Petaling Jaya.
According to the reader, he was appalled to see some foreign workers preparing food by the drain at the outlet’s backlane.
“I could see cooking utensils left on the ground and bits of leftover food scattered all over the area.
“Not only that, the area where the food was being prepared was also very smelly. The men were cutting meat and vegetables on top of ice boxes and they did not seem to be bothered that their work area was close to a garbage chute,” he said.
After seeing how food was prepared at the backlane, the reader had sworn not to patronise the outlet again.
To verify his claims, we despatched our award-winning photographer Mohd Sahar Misni to capture the scene.
Our findings revealed the ugly truth in vivid colour.
Blatant disregard for cleanliness: Raw chicken placed side by side with ice (on top of a gunny sack) on top of a ice box.
The workers were oblivious to our presence in the backlane, nor did they appear uncomfortable to be seen working in such an unhygienic condition. They continued working as if no one was watching.
Apart from pest and rodent infestation in the area, public safety is now in question.
The workers have obstructed the backlane and the back doors of some of their neighbours with the heavy ice boxes. The place is obviously a fire trap.
This food outlet is by far, one of the filthiest we have ever come across. We thank our reader for pointing out the matter and will keep tabs on this with the Petaling Jaya City Council for further action.
In a seperate development, our Seremban office reported on Sept 17 that a restaurant was closed down by the state’s health department after 100 guests at a wedding dinner had fallen ill.
They ate pork contaminated with salmonella parathypi B bacteria which is a common cause of food poisoning.
The bride’s father succumbed to illness caused by consuming contaminated food several days later.
It was later discovered that six of the restaurant employees who handled the food had not been vaccinated for typhoid. Now, the question is: do we have to wait until its too late?
Prevention is the best approach and if you suspect unhygienic food preparation, do not hesitate to contact your local authority.
One and half hour ago I came back from Cheras after my Stage Duty for Rainbow Junior Choir, from Federal Highway I turned into Jalan Universiti to get back to Petaling Jaya as I’m staying in Taman SEA.
I was a night mare then. The Jalan Universiti road was bumpy and have pot hole along the way all these time but today I striked the sharp and big pothole which caused my car tyre rim dented. At 1st I thought my tyre was burst and I pulled over to check and I found 4 of my tyres were still in good condition and I have no idea what’s went wrong with my car as I drove there’s a weird sound, so I suspected my car rim dented and I changed the front driver tyre and it’s for real that it was dented.
When I was changing tyre that time, 3 Malay came by and asked if I need any help and told me they stay opposite and they told me I’m actually the 16th victims today itself. Wow. Can you believe it?! It’s actually so many cases happened today and no one bother to fix the road? Then came by another car pulled over behind me and came to my knowledge, they were the next victim after me which made them the 17th.
I’m actually very angry and why no ppl bother to fix it or complain it? I need to spend at least another hundred for my rim and will the local council compensate me? Imagine that time I was driving only at 40-50km/j and it’s actually very slow because of the bumpy road but still the pothole able to cause so big impact and what if motorcyclists hit it? It could cost them their life. I really hope the local council will take it seriously.
What a day… To all my friends and reader, please avoid that road and if really no choice then don’t use the right lane. Keep on the left lane and drive extra slow.
