Delicious Dinner 42.

A series of home cooked dinner by my wife.

Steamed Pork ribs with Pumpkin-square cut pumpkin on the side with juicy, meaty pork ribs in the center-topped with a mixture of  fermented black bean/finely chopped garlic and red chillies-a mouthwatering dish by it's self.

Steamed Garouper-chunky and fresh-garnished with chopped ginger and spring onion and drizzled with superior grade light soy sauce and cooked oil.

Wong Tai Miu (King's vegetable shoots) Soup-fish based stock with a mashed Duck's egg - a fresh, green and slippery smooth  vegetable.

Thong Yew Seafood Restaurant @ Klang.

Another good weekend's lunch time meal at Thong Yew Seafood Restaurant @Klang again.
This time we brought two friends along to join us.

The place was packed to the brim at the air conditioned dining area and we waited awhile to be seated.


Originally at their old location in Taman Berkeley, their main signature dish was Bak Kut Teh but now with the son-in law as a chef cum partner the menu  is more extensive with local favorites.

Parking is OK.

FAMOUS CURRY FISH HEAD-RESTORAN 77

After visiting the Old Esplanade, Old Town Hall building, War Memorial monument, Fort Cornwallis and the site of "The king of tennis fiasco", we felt hungry again with all the walk about. We checked out from our hotel and had lunch at Restoran 77 near Persiaran Gurney. It is actually an old bungalow house which they have converted into a small and simple restaurant. The dining area is up a few flight of stairs while the kitchen is on ground level. Parking is ample along the road-rm0.50/hour. We ordered their signature dishes.

Their bold and striking sign board.

Curry fish head-cooked to order-garouper fish head was big, fresh and fleshly -with aromatic curry spices, onion, mint leaves and some old okra(lady finger) which was a big letdown-otherwise the dish was perfect!-rm36/

Home made bean curd-deep fried-soft and smooth-mixed with flavorful fillings-rm14/.

Steamed garouper fish tail-with soy sauce and garnished with finely chopped ginger. carrot and spring onion-was superbly fresh- it was the tail part of the curry fish head-rm33/.

Stir fry mixed vegetables-was soft and crunchy-was well blended in term of colours and healthiness-rm9/.

Assam sea prawns-fully absorbed the tamarind juice-crispy dried, succulent and medium sized-the children loved it!-rm36/

Eggplant topped with spicy shrimp paste and finely chopped and fried dry shrimps-the skin was pan fried until paper thin and was hard to chew-toppings with the flesh was delicious-rm14/.
