Stir fried  vegetable with garlic-tasted like Choy sam/ siew bok choy-sweet and crunchy.

 

Hau Kee Seafood Restaurant@ Cheras.

Our targeted restaurant was not open, Hau Kee Seafood Restaurant  was another good option.

Located in a traffic choked curved junction in the residential area of Taman Cheras, Cheras- the four shop lots restaurant "scream" at you to try them out- only open in the evening.

Steamed Village chicken in a steel basin reinforced by a wooden bucket (seen a lot of these utensil in China)-the chicken was tender and full of herbal flavor and the juices goes well with the fried rice.
