New Grand View Restaurant - Taman SEA

New Grand View restaurant is located at Taman SEA (one of the corner lot double storey shop facing the playground). During the day, this restaurant is run by another operator, selling hawker food but at night, it's Tai Chow. This non-aircond restaurant serves many nice dishes like seafood, noodles etc. My hubby and I patronized this restaurant frequently for noodles as well as Tai Chow.

Foo Kin Mien/Tai Lok Mien
Hokkien Mee (Chinese : 福建麵) or Tai Lok Mien is a dish of thick yellow noodles fried in thick black soy sauce (the darker the better) with pork lard. This dish is served mostly in Kuala Lumpur but now, I am sure it's readily available anywhere in Malaysia.

Tai Lok Mien in New Grand View is fried with normal cooking oil (suppose to be healthier but not so tasty), pork, prawns and sawi.

Sin Chow Mai
Sin Chow (Singapore) Fried Meehoon (Chinese : 星洲米粉) is rice noodles stir fried with various ingredients such as barbecued pork, fish cake, carrots etc. The American Chinese version uses curry powder. Interestingly, this dish did not originate from Singapore.

In New Grand View, Sin Chow Mai is fried with beansprout, white cabbage, char siew, eggs and spring onions. Great with their special sambal.

My hubby and I could not agree on whether to have meat or fish for dinner. Finally we settle for asam fish and kailan with roast pork. Fish to satisfy me and pork to satisfy my hubby.

Asam Fish
The asam fish is a complete dish. The fish is cooked with tomato, onions, brinjals, okra and lots of crushed lemongrass. The sauce looks like curry but has a sour twist. It is very tasty but a little too salty for me.

Kailan with Roast Pork
The Kailan with roast pork is so so only and my hubby is complaining that it was too salty for him as well. Wonder why both our dishes are on the salty side today?
