Restaurant O.K. Tuck @ Cameron Highlands.

After visiting the market and a strawberry farm, we intended to go to Sg Palas Boh Tea Plantation and Factory to savor tea and scones.

Half way from the main road, the narrow plantation road was jam packed with cars and buses some want to exit while others want to proceed. It was havoc !

After half hours of waiting for the jam to clear with the help of "people power traffic police" we exited from it as fast as we could (do not go during the holidays).

With everybody hungry we went to Restaurant O.K. Tuck in Brinchang town for a deserving quick and delicious lunch before checking into our apartment at Tanah Rata.

Sweet and sour Pork-well marinated and of equal size-deep fried and then tossed in a Tomato/Vinegar sauce with sliced cucumber, cherry tomato and onion.

Mun Chee Sow-braised Pork knuckle with soy sauce until tender and soft to the bite-very fragrant and not too fatty-garnished with a combination of spring onion/cilantro/carrot and seated on a bed of fresh green lettuce.

Stir fried wild fern with Sambal chillies paste-crunchy and stemmy.

Clay pot Homemade Tofu with chopped Chinese long cabbage, mushroom, sweet pea bean and shrimp.

Lemon Chicken-well batter -deep fried chicken-chopped into bite pieces then topped with a zesty Lemon sauce.

Stir fried Oyster mushroom with Broccoli florets and strips of pork.

Total bill:Rm148/

MM CAFE

The Ground floor corner shoplots of the three blocks of Happy Mansion Apartment in Section 17, Petaling Jaya are now occupied by cafes and restaurants.

MM Cafe is the new kid on the block with competitors like 6 to 10 Grill and Nasi Lemak, My Elephant (closed), Food Foundry, Restoran Choon Yien and Benji's Place.
It is quaint and quiet place to have a quick meal or just hang around with friends.

We were apprehensive about MM Cafe's food but now have to swallow back our words.

Fish Quiche (Dory Fish) -like a piece of cake filled with Egg and Mushroom-served with Cucumber, Coleslaw, Garlic bread-was tasty but too small a portion for Mike-Rm14.90.

Spaghetti Bolognaise with minced Chicken-full of ingredients and bursting with flavors-a comfort dish-Rm14.90.

Fried Chicken-lightly battered and deep fried- a bit dry with a crispy skin but meat was tender and juicy.

Beef Combo set served with White rice, Cauliflower, Broccoli and Mushroom-the gravy was perfect with the rice-Rm16.90.

Fried Hokkien thick Yellow noodle with Rice Vermicelli-flavorsome-not overtly oily-just nice for one-Rm 9.90/

Fried Beef noodle (Ngow Hor)-the sliced Beef was tender-lots of Spring Onion, sliced young Ginger and covered with a gooey layer of Egg gravy-delicious!-Rm9.90/

Boh Tea after the meal for Mindy.

Iced Lemon tea comes with the set.
