Mun Kee @ Happy Garden
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Chicken wings fried with salt egg-infused dough, stir fry of pig
intestines, steamed fish head.
This restaurant was previously a popular roadside food stall that
attracted lines upon lines of eagerly awaiting customers. Nowadays it
has moved to a more permanent location, though its star item remains
the same: a salad of cucumber and jicama shreds served with boiled egg
and a variety of fried fritters, chopped in bite-size pieces and
smothered with a part sweet, part spicy sauce called rojak. In this
instance, the fritters included fish cakes, fried cuttlefish and fried
sweet dough, served with a nourishing rojak that carried a cane-sugar
sweetness and just enough heat to enliven the plate.
Soft, decent noodles in a questionable, lukewarm pool of thick,
starchy gravy. It's not bad, and reminds me of the cafeteria food of
the bygone years. The white milk tea, on the other hand, explodes with
the vibrant colors from the tea's inherent spicy taste, and loosely
tempered with the mellowness of the dairy liquid.

A heavenly plate of nasi briyani with fried fish, beans, and chicken curry.
