There is a hawker centre near my house – Taman Muhibbah (Togetherness Park). I seldom eat there as it is some kind of an open air place and without a fan, I would be feeling hot and uncomfortable, perspiring from every pore. So most of the time, I would buy the food there and bring home to eat.
My favourite is Stall No. 7. The other day, I bought this sweet and sour pork…
…and fried clams in soy sauce…
…plus some fried midin (jungle fern)…
…for three persons and was charged RM18.00 only. Pretty cheap, don’t you think? As for the taste, I would think it was good except that I would like it better if they had been less generous with the msg.
While I was there, I stumbled upon a stall selling Chinese carrot or white radish cake, otherwise known as chai thow koi or koey kah. My daughter loves this so I bought some for her to try…
This cost RM3.00 and she quite liked it except that she said she would prefer it slightly burnt around the edges…or with more of what people would refer to as “wok hei“. Well, beggars can’t be choosers as we do not usually get this around here. There is another stall at a different place – the one run by a guy from Klang/Selangor…but I suspect that he used steamed yam cake instead of white radish.
All in all, this is a good place to go and have dinner or supper with family and friends. There are mostly Chinese stalls at this particular hawker centre, unlike at Taman Harmoni (Harmony Park), but there is a section of Malay stalls selling stuff like satay, barbecued chicken wings and so on. The only problem is that it is very crowded at night and despite the ample spaces around there, parking can be quite a pain. Do be prepared to park quite a distance away and walk…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
