Yet another Dai Chow story @ Tmn Bkt Maluri

Located along the row of shophouses in Taman Bukit Maluri, this restaurant has expanded from a roadside stall to a full-blown restaurant with air-conditioning.
They still perform the cooking across the street; at the original stall and they will serve you inside the restaurant.
Of course when it's fully occupied in the restaurant or you don't fancy sitting in the air-conditioned room (even under a whooping 30 degrees celsius), you can have your pick of table at the roadside stall.

We used to frequent the place for lunch; whenever we wanted to try out some dishes or when the weather is really hot and other places are out of the options.

The soup of the day will be served complimentary for guests who order the dishes for Dai Chow

Most of the time, it will be some Chinese herbal soup cooked with chicken feet and wolfberries; with a root popping out (some ginseng family I suppose)

They serve herbal tea which are home-cooked; but I found it too diluted that it felt like drinking plain water with a brownish color.

Kung Pow Mantis Prawns (RM12) - it is my usual favorite in most dai chow

This was not too bad either; although I found tad a bit too oily!:p

This was something unique; which was recommended by the waiter

Stir-fried spinach with wolfberries in thick broth (RM8)

It was really thick and I love the combination of the wolfberries and spinach; both equally my favorite!~
My Mummy mentioned that she had cooked this before at home but I can't recall:p

Their Talapia in fermented bean curd sauce (Cheung Jing) was a little disappointing (RM16)

The fish was too oily and the sauce didn't compliment it really well.
Oh well, there goes the fish for my taste buds:(

Being veggie lovers, we had a plate of mixed vegetables as well (RM8)

Pretty reasonably priced and the place is usually crowded during lunch and dinner hours; perhaps the price or the A/C factor?
I don't know, I don't really fancy it much though:p
