This Ho G chicken rice stall in Batu Berendam is situated along the road heading towards pasar borong, near the traffic light. First time I ate here was the time Anwar gave his ceramah in pasar borong, so the whole street was literally jam packed. I wanted to go to the ceramah as well, but it was just so jammed!
This place is kinda new, and they opens until late at night.
Chilli sauce, the soul of chicken rice. Theirs was alright. Nothing spectacular that will evoke fireworks.
White cut chicken, barbecued pork and roasted pork. Yummy!
Comes with sauce, vegetables soup and two rice at about RM14 I guess? Can’t quite remember but it is cheaper than Heng Kee for sure.

My paternal grandma’s birthday is always celebrate in our family whereby we will have a nice dinner with her. Since she was born around the lunar New Year, every new year without fail all of us will celebrate with her.
Strictly speaking, this is a gastric inducing dinner for me. The wait was so long that I actually took pictures of, errr, pickled green chilli, and clutched my stomach to sleep later in the night.
Thank goodness the food was up to the par. Makes waiting more worthwhile. The dish above was the must have birthday noodles, which were egg noodles in thick gravy. The specialty of this noodle is that, the strands are all very long, and it symbolizes longevity. The combination of long strands of noodles and dark coloured sauce has been unkind to my light coloured outfit that day. 
This is the pork knuckles with hou see and fatt choy. The pork knuckles are cooked in whole, unlike my version, which was all cut up.
The chicken dish. Fish paste were stuffed in between the chicken skin and flesh before deep frying, and those strands on top were deep fried Dahfa (lightweight fish flavoured strips)
Stirfried assorted mushrooms.
Mango kerabu fish. Seriously, this is the signature dish of the restaurant! Very nicely done.
Sambal asparagus. By this time I was stuffed full. Argh, I don’t want to mull over the bad of being so hungry and so full in a short period of time!
Overall, it was a great dinner. The food was good and most of them were my favourite dish, especially the pork and the fish!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is something simple and easy to prepare. Perfect for solo meals or meal for two. Well, as a matter of fact, I usually cook for myself and give take a person or two, so most of the recipes I wrote down here is good enough to cater for a dinner for two. Or three.
Anyway, I digress. Coming back to our meal of salad chicken rice, I cooked the chicken, and the rest, well was just squeeze and sprinkle on.
Ingredients:
Chicken breast the size of your palm, 2cm thick (seasoned with salt, pepper, soy sauce, a bit of cooking wine and leave for 30 minutes)
cornflour for dusting and frying
mayonnaise or thousand island sauce
toasted white sesame seed for garnishing (optional)
sakura denbu to pinkify the meal (optional)
Method:
Heat your frying pan and use sufficient old to pan fry the chicken. Oh yeah, prior to frying, remember to pat dry all the marinade and dust the chicken meat with cornflour evenly. Slowly slide the chicken into the pan and fry until golden brown.
Dish and serve on with hot rice. Pour the mayonnaise as much as you like. For a healthier meal, try to include some greens. Since I have some butterhead, butterhead it is then. If you have toasted white sesame seeds, sprinkle onto the chicken and on your rice as well! Oh yeah, those pink coloured sakura denbus are made tuna flakes. I used to make onigiris with them!
P/S: If you put your heart into your cooking, even simple meals will taste great.

The Taiwanese are famous for their street snacks, but instead of flying all the way to Taiwan to enjoy this gastronomical affair along the foodie streets, right now I can try some of them at Shih Lin, a franchaise of Taiwan street snacks in Malaysia. Far from being found in the streets, Shih Lin Taiwan Street Snacks targets the upmarket shopping centres and hypermarts in Malaysia.
Fancy some Taiwan street snacks? Shih Lin offers XXL crispy chicken, handmade oyster mee sua, crispy floss egg crepe and seafood tempura. Eat as you walk! XXL crispy chicken is their bestseller.
You can read up their story on the walls of their bright red stalls.
This is the handmade oyster mee sua. My first impression of this mee sua is that, it actually taste a lot like shark fin, texture and tastewise. A few more spoonfuls and it will taste more like mee sua. Owing to the fact that it is actually made with oyster, I get quite “jelak” towards the end. Oh, on the first look there were no oysters, but they were actually buried deep down. Two of them oysters, haha!
The XXL crispy fried chicken.
Very crispy and flavourfully seasoned.
Better than Uncle Bob’s, I would say.
And soy bean milk to wash down everything. Nope, I can’t stomach the remaining two snacks in the menu already. Some other time perhaps?
This branch of Shih Lin is in Muar’s Giant. They are more coming soon to your nearest shopping centres!

It has been awhile since I updated this blog, because I went back hometown for my cousin’s wedding dinner and came back with some decent photos. Will take some time to edit, so in the meantime let’s talk about salted chickens!
If you are visiting Ipoh town, don’t miss this delicious salted chicken from Restoran Aun Kheng Lim! Despite the self proclaimed restaurant status, this place does not cater for dine in, so you can only takeaway a box of salted chicken and be on your way.
Basically these huge vats fills the whole place, leaving some walking space and places to put the boxes.
What’s in the vat? Chickens stuffed with some herbs and wrapped with baking paper, salt and more salt of course!
You tell him, and he will pick a chick for you!
With so many delicious food to choose from in Ipoh, most of the time I will be stuffed full come departure. Fortunately, I can still bring back the takeaway salted chicken from Aung Kheng Lim to devour before leaving this food haven. I usually buy them back for own consumption or as gifts. After all, they come in nice boxes and taste great!
P/S: I even keep the carcass to use them as stock for making congee like what I did with the roast chicken leftovers the next day!
