It took the herd a ridiculous 3 hours to find this damn place!! But Balakong is not a place this city sheep, squirrel and cow  knows too well…word has it there are two shops, one belonging to a sister, brother, one is better….ok who gives a ****?! Let’s eat!

The crispy fried chicken gives your front teeth a good scrub as it’s so crunchy. Though the well-contained juices spurts into your mouth, the flavour is common. Cow prefers KFC.

Pork curry! A must try. Light, addictive and tender, this lovely stew should be slurped gently, prior to mouthfuls of piping hot rice

The ginger pork stew leaves a beautiful gelatinous gloss on your lips and the beautiful marriage of pork fat, ginger and soya sauce separates the gentle meat strands between bites.

Ahhh the paper chicken. This home-made gravy is thick, boozed with Shaoxing wine and tasty. However, this is a flavor that can be achieved in aunty Ah Leng’s Crockpot (aunty Ah Leng is made-up hello!!). The well-oiled  baking paper makes this dish ‘shiok’ and perhaps traditional, but it’s not something we would loose sleep over.
