Kong Sai Zai/广西仔

7 August 2010

I have been hearing about this restaurant for quite some time. My friends claim that they serve pleasing taste of the cooking of kwong sai. The dishes here are slightly different than what you can order at the other restaurants where the food here are not too commercialized here. They serve steamed chicken/白切鸡,steamed duck/西宁蒸鸭,pork knuckle with vinegar and black beans/猪脚醋,soup/炖汤 and etc.

We ordered this belacan kangkung which tasted so great. However, I would like it even more if it was cooked with more minced meat and dried shrimps.

We had chosen two soups, winter melon soup and fish soup with black bean. The price are fairly reasonable as they only costed RM4 and RM6 respectively. The fish soup however didn't taste so good.

The curry pork rib was not bad. As I do not like those curry which are too strong with spice, this one suited my taste.
Now I understand why this steamed chicken is so popular. The sauce is the main soul. It is my all time favourite in my home town especially during chinese new year, but I never realized it is actually kong sai's food until today. The main ingredient of the sauce is the sand ginger, which could be hardly bought at market. I can easily get it from the back yard of my house in Ipoh :) The chicken was tender and smooth.
