ZONG MENG RESTAURANT-2

Zong Meng Restaurant is located in Tapah, Perak, a quiet town between Bidor and Kampar. The site of the restaurant was formerly a petrol station, now converted into an open eatery with overhead ceiling fans (can be very hot in the afternoon) for comfort and vehicles viewing while waiting to be serve .
The owner cum cook, Meng has many years of culinary experiences and worked with chefs from Hong Kong at Chinese restaurants in Holland and Belgium.
While overseas, he was more into fusion Chinese cuisine, the influences are evident in some of his dishes.
It was fun to see him flipped and cooked with his pan/wok and the way he controlled the many gas knobs with his knees was awesome!!!
He is a staunch believer in using fresh ingredients and do not compromise on quality.
He recommended us some of his signature dishes.
