The fish is crisp and the sauce the right sweetness. <BR/><BR/>So if u like their sweet and sour fish u'll also love their sweet and sour pork. <BR/><BR/>my family especially loves their "wong ah pak" fried with mix meats and seafoods. The vege is braised to a right tenderness and the sweetness of the vege... perfect. <BR/><BR/>We usually also order their long beans fried with pork bits .... but some ppl may find it tooo oily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903388640691349615.post-85990098506113410302009-02-27T13:49:00.000+08:002009-02-27T13:49:00.000+08:00Hup Kee rang in my head, must have been here aeons...Hup Kee rang in my head, must have been here aeons ago :PBabe_KLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762752894942951956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903388640691349615.post-52253496372613139092009-02-25T22:52:00.000+08:002009-02-25T22:52:00.000+08:00spinach with superior soup?sure boh ?looks more li...spinach with superior soup?<BR/>sure boh ?<BR/>looks more like a steam egg dish to me ~ :pling239https://www.blogger.com/profile/17569857439055727717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903388640691349615.post-62356234951136303952009-02-25T16:49:00.000+08:002009-02-25T16:49:00.000+08:00.."classic of the classics; fried prawns with yam ....."classic of the classics; fried prawns with yam sticks."<BR/>Never heard never had. *pat superbly young self*<BR/>But sounds real good.Tummythozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00974443292847012175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903388640691349615.post-44674593821190215592009-02-25T14:18:00.000+08:002009-02-25T14:18:00.000+08:00fatboybakes, hahaha, i thought of his royal lardne...fatboybakes, hahaha, i thought of his royal lardness when i was typing..haha! oh, i got to eat pure hainanese mee with pork cos some of my relatives are hainanese..haha! yeah, it's kinda watery and some hokkien mee are liddat...so sad hor?<BR/><BR/>Shell (貝殼), ohhhh, the smell and that salty taste are incredible! i love it! hey, do visit a dai chow stall one of these days for it! ;)<BR/><BR/>thenomadGourmand, hahaha, u know, i always order a noodle dish when i go for dai chow cos nothing like a good fried mee after all those rice...carbo overload! but good! ;)<BR/><BR/>christine, worry not, babe. you'll be back in kl before you know it! then, u can eat as much dai chow as u want! ;) in the meantime, study hard, ya! ;)HairyBerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523068919917998534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903388640691349615.post-14308143719226107192009-02-25T03:33:00.000+08:002009-02-25T03:33:00.000+08:00An eat-out with family 'tai chow' style... oh dear...An eat-out with family 'tai chow' style... oh dear... we always have this during sundays ;P<BR/><BR/>Now i've to cook for myself.. lol~Christine~Lenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328306548215615000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903388640691349615.post-82014484599235444592009-02-24T14:14:00.000+08:002009-02-24T14:14:00.000+08:00everyone loves dai chows! & its best to go in ...everyone loves dai chows! & its best to go in grp, else can staple all the food.

And yes,...I am definitely all for the old classics. And yes, I am one of those who will order old favorites like lam yue chee yoke, sweet&sour fish and sambal belacan kangkung! And this will be my benchmark for failure or success as I will order the same thing at each dai chow I visit! Surprisingly not many new dai chows can meet the mark despite being them seemingly easy and common. For one, no one uses homemade sambal belacan for the kangkung. The same goes for cheong-cheng steam fish - every stall seems to be using the same premixed bean sauce! Ugh!! And no chee yau char too!<BR/><BR/>Oh well, enough of my rambling. I'm just homesick for harm yue fah lam, mun yong lam (braised goat stomach), kiong choong lok yoke and theem suen grouper!! And your closeups aren't helping either! :D<BR/><BR/>Oh, I'm especially partial to loh jiu pais (old signboards?!) in Ipoh.
