Finally, we were able to bring our friends for some home cooked dishes for dinner last Sunday. From Monday to Saturdays, my friends usually finished work late and by that time the eatery that we wanted to go will be closed.
To ensure that food will not run out, we have to place our order through phone. The business starts about 5.30 pm and usually by 6 pm many of the dishes would have finished especially during the weekends. The boss only prepares limited quantity for each day. The regular customers know and will call up to book the dishes.
Hubby informed the boss that we will be arriving around 6.20 pm and by the time we arrived, the steamers were all empty and all dishes were booked and waiting for the customers to arrive. And the following dishes were our order.
Crispy deep fried black pomfret, drizzled with garlic oil and spring onion.
Steamed grouper fish tail, drizzled with garlic oil and spring onion.
Steamed yam & pork belly (kau yoke).
Steamed herbal whole chicken leg (tong kuai kai)
Blanched green veggie, drizzled with garlic oil.
Double steamed / boiled winter melon with chicken soup.
Double steamed / boiled salted mustard green, white tofu and chicken soup.
Total cost of dinner for 4 people MYR 7 (19.36 USD)
(incl. 4 plates of white rice, small portion)
The fish dishes are fixed at MYR 18 (4.98 USD).
Below are some of the other dishes that we have tasted on other days.
Steamed grouper slices, drizzled with garlic oil.
Crispy deep fried grouper slices, drizzled with garlic oil.
There are other dishes which I have not taken any photo e.g.
braised ginger duck, curry chicken, minced pork, etc.
Double steamed / boiled yellow (old) cucumber with pork rib.
Double steamed / boiled dried vegetable and pork rib soup.
Inside these steamers are many tasty, delicious home cooked dishes ready to be served to the customers.

The LORD will defeat your enemies before you;
they will march out together against you
but scatter before you in seven directions!
The Lord will bless you with good crops and healthy cattle,
and prosper everything you do when you arrive in the land
the LORD your God is giving you.
(Deuteronomy 28:7-8, The Living Bible-TLB)
Everything looks great, Nancy, and my favourite would be the steamed herbal whole chicken leg!
ReplyDeleteHerbal whole chicken leg is my hubby's favourite.
DeleteI love fishes!!!! I rarely made it at home because I don't know how to clean them and not make the kitchen smell fishy... I love good steamed fishes!!!! Your photos reminded me of the good old dinner time I had when I was a child in Hong Kong!!!
ReplyDeleteI am also not cooking fishes at home because it makes the kitchen smell...so we only eat fishes when we eat out.
