Thank God Almighty for smooth and safe flight back to Malaysia. Our plane arrived at KLIA2 - Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 on Monday early morning 12.55 am. Our friend and his son from Semenyih came to pick us from the airport. He had prepared a midnight or early morning snack of hot porridge and satay for us in his house. By the time we went to bed, it was about 3.00 am.
By the time everyone was awake the next day, it was around midday. It was time to go out looking for lunch. After circling around the place, we came upon this Chinese Restaurant Yi Pin Xiang in Nilai.
The restaurant is on the first floor.
It occupies 2 shop lots. A friend familiar with the menu did the ordering of food. Hunanese dishes was a first time for some of us.
We started with an appetizer - Fried Shredded Potato.
Steamed Rice - Sunwhite Fragrant Rice (Grade AAA), served in little cute bowls.
Deep Fried Salted Eggs Pumpkin in a basket, very tasty.
Hot Pot Pig's intestine.
Boiled Fish with Bean Sprout in Hot Chili Oil. Something different but it was quite oily and spicy.
On a closer look - Treasures of fish slices, soya bean sprouts, greens and lots of dried chili and Szechuan peppercorns, etc.
Fried Balsam Pear (Bitter Melon) with Salted Egg and Preserved Century Egg.
Steamed Chicken, sprinkled with some sauce, diced peanuts and sesame seeds and diced spring onions.
Boiled Shredded Tripes with Chili Oil.
Pumpkin Porridge - on the house.
We enjoyed this porridge very much, very suitable for a hot day. And we thank Jennifer, our friend for this yummy lunch treat.
The LORD is a friend to those who fear Him.
He teaches them His covenant.
My eyes are always on the LORD,
for He rescues me from the traps of my enemies.
(Psalm 25:14-15, New Living Translation-NLT)

Hi Paul, I too do not fancy some of the dishes. But I do find the deep fried pumpkin and porridge very tasty. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteAgain, some of the food I probably wouldn't care to try but these must be eaten on a regular basis there. You are such a good sport to try so many dishes.

ReplyDeleteHi Irvine, I think you would like the salted egg pumpking. Very tasty!
DeleteAlways interesting to see what everyone else eats.
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, sometimes we can identify with the dishes but sometimes certain food seem weird too.
DeleteThe bean sprout-fish-chilli thing and that dish with lots of colourful chillies seem to be staples of Hunan food. I used to go to a restaurant and loved those as well. (Somehow stopped going already haha. Must start again!)
ReplyDeleteHunanese food slightly different from the usual Chinese food that we used to eat.
DeleteThe food looks heavenly, Nancy. :)
ReplyDeleteBalsam pear - I learned something new from this post, thank you.
Hi Sharon, I have just learned that balsam pear is another name of bitter melon or bitter gourd. I am more familiar with bitter gourd.
DeleteHunan food is very hot and spicy. Good to see that all of yiu enjoyed the food.
ReplyDeleteHi Mun, we have no problem, we can take hot and spicy food.
