Level 7, 7.101.02, Pavilion Elite, Kuala Lumpur
柱侯牛筋腩捞面(大) TendonBrisketDry WanTonMee $15.90
香港奶茶 HongKong Milk Tea $4.90
Thoughts: After eating a week of street and restaurant food in Hong Kong, I thought of trying the Hong Kong style Beef noodle and Hong Kong Tea back in KL. Was here at Mak's Chee for their Swiss Chicken Leg 2 weeks ago (before the Hong Kong trip).
In Hong Kong, beef noodle is about HKD$40-$60++ depending on location (so, its about MYR$22-$32), Mak's Chee's Beef noodle (Large) is selling $15.90 (HKD$30) while the Regular is $13.90 (HKD$25). Of course, beef noodle in KL is selling around MYR$8-$10 (HKD$15-$18). 
So its about HKD$15-$30 in KL or HKD$40-$60 in Hong Kong for a plate/bowl of beef noodle of similar portions. Generally food in Hong Kong is about 50%-100% more expensive but perhaps also taste 50%-100% much better!
Mak's Chee serves the beef with very thin noodle, the sauce is definilty not as good as those I tasted in HK; beef as well. For now, I do wish to taste another bowl of beef noodle in Hong Kong! 
Nevertheless, the milk tea served here at Mak's Chee is really not too bad for my taste, I shall be back for 香港奶茶 here if i need one in the future. There is another shop at Low Yat also serving hong kong food as well as hong kong milk tea which is also comparably good.

瑞士鸡牌煎蛋饭 Swiss Chicken RiceEgg w/SunnySide Up & 香港冰鎮奶茶 Hong Kong Iced Milk Tea @ 麦氏西式港式云吞面 Mak' Chee at 7th floor KL Pavilion Elite

06.07.2017 Lunch
@ 麦氏西式港式云吞面 Mak's Chee Authentic Wonton Pavilion

瑞士鸡牌煎蛋饭 Swiss Chicken RiceEgg w/SunnySide Up $15.90

香港冰鎮奶茶 Hong Kong Iced Milk Tea $6.90
Thoughts: The new restaurants opened recently at Pavilion Elite since April/May 2017 includes "Mak's Chee Authentic Wonton Pavilion" at the 7th floor. Mak's Chee seems to be with 100 year history, originating in Guangzhou famous for its Noodles in that city since 1920. In 1938, the 麥奀雲吞麵世家 Mak family moved to Hong Kong and has been serving their famous Noodles since then. 
Swiss Chicken (either 瑞士鸡翅 chicken wing or 瑞士鸡牌 chicken leg) is the name given to a kind of sweet soy sauce-flavored chicken wings served in some restaurants in Hong Kong. It is marinated in sauce made up of soy sauce, sugar, Chinese wine, and spices. According to Wikipedia, despite the name "Swiss," it is unrelated to Switzerland. Instead, it is believed to have originated in either Hong Kong or Guangzhou!
There are no concrete answers as to the source or the name of the dish. One story goes that a Westerner came across the dish "sweetened soya sauce chicken wings" in a restaurant, and asked a Chinese waiter what that was. The waiter, who did not speak perfect English, introduced the dish as sweet wing. The customer misinterpreted sweet as Swiss, and the name was used ever since. However, this story may be a mere urban legend. (Wikipedia) 
The Swiss Chicken Leg can be ordered as Ala Carte or either Rice+Egg or WanTonMee; all 3 options are found in the menu. It is definitely worth the try. However, the "Iced" milk tea or 冰鎮奶茶 is served in a plastic bottle dipped into a pot of ice; I really would think in a "tall flask glass" would be a much better presentation (interestingly the menu did show the "Iced" milk tea in some form of flask and not a plastic bottle!!!), but it does taste very nice. Of course, my Hong Kong experience on both Swiss Chicken and "Iced" milk tea is unique much better than this one here in KL. That said, it is great to find a Hong Kong style restaurant with Hong Kong Milk Tea and its Hong Kong Style WanTonMee in KL. I shall be back for more!
