Malaysian style Cza Cha in Hougang
I went to this restaurant twice within a week to try the Malaysian style cza char. I liked the minced claypot tofu. This is the first time I have ever tasted tofu done this way. Pour some vinegar over it and you will want to give shark fins soup a miss. The claypot ginger duck and garlic chicken are rarely found in cza char stall nowadays and it is really something you must
try. Another must try is the homemade honey lemon juice or shake. Restaurant 121 located in Blk 9 Hougang Ave 8, near the wet market and food center.

Mother's Porridge in Kuala Lumpur
Somewhere near KL is an excellent restaurant selling claypot porridge. Restoran Mother Porridge serves porridge that is so smooth and tasty, it is best eaten plain. We ordered a salted egg porridge and found it a bit too salty. So we ordered a plain porridge to help dilute the saltiness. Instead, we found the plain porridge to be so tasty we ate it on its own. The claypot sliced fish with ginger was equally good. The ginger taste was overpowering. We found Restoran Mother Porridge by chance. After we exit Sungei Besi toll for KL city, we took the highway to Kuantan/Ipoh. After about 3km along this highway we turned left into a few rolls of shophouses, about 0.5 km before the TESCO supermarket. The restaurant is in the first roll.

Kuala Lipis, 15 April 2007
Kuala Lipis is a small town in the state of Pahang. There are two main Chinese restaurants in this town, Restoran Low Kwan and Restoran Sin Hoi Kee. Restoran Low Kwan was closed when we were there. The folks there told us that they have left for KL on a holiday and will be back on 16 April 07. Restoran Sin Hoi Kee was quite busy when we went there for dinner. But the service was fast and friendly, typical of any small towns in Malaysia. Ms Choy was there to recommend us their signature dishes. She suggested the Sultan fish caught in the Jelai river, which flows thru the town. But we decided on the "fei chou" fish which was bred in the same river. The fish was very fresh and tasted excellent when steamed with a light sauce. The wild boar meat fried with spring onions and ginger was equally good. The homemade tofu was good but not as smooth as the commercial version. 
Restoran Sin Hoi Kee is at 5K Bangunan Paradise, Jalan Peleliling, Kuala Lipis. Tel 09-3125072. Open everyday from 11am to 3pm and from 6pm to midnight
