To those that have been following me for sometime now, you must be aware that Restoran Ga Onn is our favourite Chinese Restaurant in Tanjung Malim, Perak. It is almost everytime that whenever we decide to dine out, this would be the place that we head to. Without an exception, this afternoon too we came here for our weekly family lunch.

Despite there being a number of famous restaurants in Tanjung Malim, this is more like a neighborhood restaurant that is preferred by the locals. The restaurant is casual unlike some others which are more dressy and the prices too are very reasonable. The owners are very friendly towards their customers and there is a good bond between the customers and the owners. What I like most about this place is the honesty of the owners where if you were to over order, they would advise you and they would also adjust the dish portions accordingly, based on the number of pax, instead of over charging you.

| Coca Cola @ RM 2.20 |
 |
| Chinese Tea @ RM 0.50 |
Since they are so familiar with us, there is no need for us to order what drinks we want. Instead when they see us, they would just bring the usual drinks that we order. Generally, it's Chinese Tea for all of us except for my brother who would go for a Coca Cola.

| Homemade Bean Curd @ RM 8.00 |

This was a new recipe and the owner recommended us to try it. The homemade Tofu was deep fried and cooked along with pumpkin paste which is the orange thing at the base of the dish and is topped with minced meat. The Tofu, though being deep fried, was very soft on the inside and it went very well with the pumpkin paste and minced meat. Something different here and it was good. I would rate this at 8/10 .

| Mantis Prawns with Salted Eggs @ RM 12.00 |

This is one of my brother's favourite dish and he just loves the preparation here. Sometimes, he even goes to the extent of ordering another helping of the same. The Mantis Prawns are fried to a perfect crispness and is coated with salted eggs. Definitely a very good dish. I would rate this dish at 9.3/10 .

| Kangkung Belacan @ RM 8.00 |

This is one of our favourite dishes here. The Kangkung is cleaned very well and you do not get traces of sediments. In some restaurants, the greens are not properly cleaned and you do get some sand like thing in the dish and this is specially prominent to Kangkungs. Here however, it is thoroughly cleaned. The preparation too comes with a good amount of Belacan that gives a very aromatic taste to the dish. Definitely a good preparation and I would rate this dish at 8.9/10 .

| Steamed Fish with Chili Paste (Cheong Cheng) @ RM 26.00 |

This steamed fish was a good choice. The last time here, we tried it steamed with ginger and this time decided to try with the Chili paste. The dish was well prepared and much better to the one we tried the last time. The fish was fresh and again it was cleaned well, thus eliminating any smell that is common in fresh water fish. I would rate this dish at 8.5/10 .

| Lunch In Progress |
We dine at this restaurant at least once a week and the food has always been consistent. This is one of those places where you could say that the food is great, the price is cheap and the service is just excellent. What more would one want from a restaurant. Definitely a great place to drop by for a good meal.
