Lai Po Heen at Mandarin Oriental Welcomes Chef Thomas Fong from Doha
April 24th, 2024
Seeking Chinese eateries that refrain from charging extravagant prices for this festive fortnight, we hopped over to Hau Gang which basically fit our needs.
Hau Gang’s setting feels fully familiar, replicating the look of hundreds of Chinese restaurants across the Klang Valley & sparking the sensation of “wait, have we been here before?”
Thankfully, the menu holds a few surprises: We like this ‘Teochew-style charcoal-fire fish broth’ (RM26), similar to steamboat, featuring fresh chunks of fish, bean curd, veggies & refillable soup. Nutritious-tasting.
Mantis prawns, a little less memorable, but tasty enough for what it is.
Bean curd with spinach & mushrooms. Good one; nice ingredients.
Pork comes in many of the expected forms, sweet & sour, crispy with honey, in claypot with salted fish or cooked with yam.
Eat your veggies: Bitter gourd fried with salted egg yolk straddles the line between wholesome & worrisome for health watchers.
