| | Was thinking where to have dinner in Cheras with my parents few evenings ago after work. Then suddenly a restaurant came to mind, after reading Daily Rantings' blog recently. Well I've actually drove past this restaurant many many times, as I sometimes follow my dad to meet a client just few shops away. But somehow never thought of trying it till now.
As it was a weekday, the restaurant is only half-filled (they have 2 shoplots by the way). Hence better and more attentive service from the staff there. Ordering is made easy by numerous photos of dishes on the wall, and recommendations from the helpful lady captain. And within 15 minutes, dishes started arriving on our table.
I wanted to suggest Nai Yau Pork Ribs (RM10) as Daily Rantings gave it a good rating but my mum already beat me to it. She's a sucker for anything Nai Yai  . Our verdict of it is, while the taste is good, we were slightly disappointed to find the ribs a tad too dry and not much meat to chew on. Wouldn't mind giving it a 8/10 if only they use a better part to make this dish.
This Salty Egg Yok Tofu (RM8) earns our "Dish of the Day" award as it is simply wonderful. Fried together with beaten salty egg yoke, spices and chillies, it is very aromatic and nice to bite too as it is crunchy. Can be a little too salty though if you are not eating it with rice.
When the Claypot Pumpkin Chicken aka Kam Kua Kai (RM10) arrives on our table, all of us though it look pretty unappetising. But surprisingly it does tasted very good. The tender chicken meat cooked with oyster sauce, then coated with sweet mashed pumpkins is simply a winning formula.
Instead of plain green vegetables that we usually order for the sake of balancing our meals, this time we opted for the Curry Mixed Vegetables (RM8). And boy we didn't regret this as this dish is simply perfect to be eaten together with white rice. My mum gave it thumbs up for the aromatic curry broth and even my dad ordered an extra bowl of rice as an excuse to taste more of those gravy. 
Overall, this is one heck of a satisfying meal. Our only qualm is how small the portion of the dishes here, although at the price we are paying I guess we can't really complain. Parking here is easy on weeknights, although my dad did say this restaurant is packed on weekends. Friendly service and no-frills food good at affordable price, it came as no surprise when my mum suggested us to return here again to sample other dishes. I would suggest the same to all of you too!
