Once again, here we are at our favourite Chinese restaurant in Tanjung Malim for our weekly family lunch. It seems that I have blogged almost six times about this place in the past, the last one just a couple of days back. Though there may be similar dishes that we have ordered in the past, there are also some new dishes that we try out each time and hence I felt that it should introduced as an ongoing effort in my blogs.

They are usually busiest for dinner and for lunch, 12 to 2 is the peak period. When we arrived, it was close to 2 pm and most have had their lunch and left. There isn't really a printed menu here to use as a reference when ordering. Since we are so used to this place, we are quite familiar with most of their dishes and whenever a new dish is introduced, the boss would always make his recommendations and since we know each other so well, we would always try them out.

| Kankung Belacan @ RM 8.00 |

| Kankung 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, but somehow, it wasn't it's best and for today's preparation, I would rate this dish at 7.9/10 .

| Steamed Tofu with Dried Shrimps @ RM 8.00 |
This was the new dish that we tried out last week and since we liked it, we ordered the same again this afternoon. The preparation was really simple. Tofu was steamed with soy sauce and topped with dried shrimps but the taste was really good. The flat taste of the Tofu and the salty taste of the shrimps went really together really well. I would rate this dish at 8.5/10 .

| Butter Prawns @ RM 20.00 |

| Butter Prawns @ RM 20.00 |
Somehow, the Butter Prawns was not as good as it usually is. There was a lack of 'Oomph' from the dish, maybe the prawns were not too fresh. I felt disappointed with the taste and as such, shall only rate this dish at 7/10 .

| Steamed Fish with Chili Paste (Cheong Cheng) @ RM 22.00 |

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 .
We dine at this restaurant at least once a week and the food has always been consistent, except for some dishes today. This is one of those places where you could generally say that the food is great, the price is decent 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.
