RESTAURANT 9888

This restaurant is located in two obscured shop lots off 3 1/2 miles, Jln Cheras,Kuala Lumpur. It is behind the DAP service center. The restaurant is very brightly lit, air conditioned, spacious and clean. They even have a pond with Koi fishes and a mural of their logo on the main wall. Parking is a bit of a problem as there are car workshops all around. The lady captain recommended the four dishes listed below.

Salted duck egg-yolk pumpkin: full of duck egg's flavor, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Mixed vegetables: looks nice but was a disappointment, too mushy and salty

Three cup chicken: aromatic with onion, chillies and basil leaves -tasty and inspiring.

Loong tan (giant garouper) fish head with "foon lut"( dry chestnut): was filled with the smell of Chinese wine but faded away when the clay pot turned cold. Chestnuts are lean, low in starch and high in protein.

Total bill:rm103/ dessert of pulut hitam was on the house.
