Our intent was to eat crabs and the famous assam fish.
Bad news, no crabs tonight. So we settled for the "chiu pai" (house speciality) assam fish and hotplate tofu.
The assam fish was drowning is assam (tamarind) sauce and onions. Observing the cook at work, we saw that the talapia fish itself was first deep fried, inundated in the sauce and then steamed for a short period of time in a lotus leaf wrap. This dish was really tangy, tasted a bit like laksa gravy. The fish cost RM18.
The hotplate tofu tasted normal, had a lot of minced meat on it. The local tofu was deep fried, crispy on the outside but soft inside. I liked the contrast in texture. It cost RM12 for a serving for 2.

The portions here are quite hearty, we were glad we ordered only 2 dishes as we were stuffed after finishing dinner.
Coming from KL on the Old Klang Road, turn left just before the Taman Desa entrance. You can see the restaurant by the road.

health and hygiene don't count?
can food not be cooked with clean personal hygiene, free of chemicals and other unnatural food additives [or is that addictives??]
would you not wash your hands when you cook for your family? and avoid all those nasty staff in your cooking?
newton circus in singapore [are they still there?] used to have a hygiene rating system displayed on an official card issued by the authorities relating to hygiene staring at the top with a and then down to d for dir[ty]. where would you rather eat irrespective of how tasty the food is ala chopsticks from china, fictitious card board char siew pau ?
