My brother in law, Kam was the paying host for this dinner gathering among our relatives.
Restoran Hao Yi Lao is located just 2 km left from the Tapah toll plaza exit and is one of the best and newest restaurant in Tapah.
It is owned and run by a young, friendly and formidable couple- Chef Leong and his wife Sim.
As it was the first day of the CNY, the restaurant was packed to the rim and business was brisk.
Parking is a breeze.
Me, talking to Chef Leong (hands on hip ) about tonight's dinner dishes.
Waiting at our table.
The hand written menu in Chinese.
Started with the usual Loh Sang-a Salmon Yee Sang-wish for a better business year.
Sang Cheong-stir fried with ginger/spring onion/soy sauce combination-very crunchy and good exercise for the jaws.
Steamed wild frogs with chopped ginger/spring onion/Chinese wine/ sesame oil was everyone's favorite-the flesh was smooth and sweet tasting-plenty of it because of the dry weather.
Clams with Curry powder-spicy, fresh and meaty.
Koong Poh Padi field's Eel-stir fried with onion/dried red chillies/spring onion and a dash of Chinese wine-the coarsely sliced eel meat was springy and meaty.
Tung Poh pork belly- well marinated and braised until the meat absorbed all the spices flavors-garnished with cilantro-the gravy was perfect with rice.
Steamed river prawns with egg whites and Chinese wine-garnished with finely sliced ginger and cilantro-fresh, juicy and succulent-the star of the night!
Buttered Tilapia-the meat was filleted and cut into bite sizes before it was wok buttered fried with egg and curry leaves-very crispy-a good snack with beer.
Ended the meal with a quick stir fried Kangkong (Water Convolvulus)) with Sambal chillies -a local favorite.Total bill: Rm700/
