Restoran Happy Family@Setia Alam

Saturday dinner with family at Restoran Happy Family@Setia Alam, Klang.

Setia Alam is a well planned township with lots of public amenities.

There is a pasar malam with makeshift stalls selling all kinds of food, fruits, juice and anything that you can think of, hoarding the road around the town center.

We managed to park our cars near the Meru main road. 

Restoran Happy Family is located behind the pasar malam and next to the Setia Alam Club house.

It is a typical Chinese restaurant with aquariums of live fishes and crustaceans at one corner.

As it was our first visit we went for their signature dishes which turned out to be OK.

Parking is OK.

Wild Mushroom.

Some wild mushrooms are poisonous.

So leave it to the experts !

I think these are seasonal wild mushrooms which crops up after a bout of rain on a hot sunny day and harvested early next morning by the Orang Asli.

Known in Chinese as Kai Yok Ku (Chicken meat mushroom) sold for Rm5/kg.

Before cooking it-must remove the thin layer of skin.

Wash it-slice diagonally and sauteed in oil, ginger and garlic with a sprinkling of salt.

It has a mild flavor, sweet taste and chicken meat like textures.
