Hunan Kitchen, Mangga Besar

My friend has been recommending his favorite Chinese restaurant to me for quite awhile. It's Hunan Kitchen which located in Mangga Besar area. I finally had a chance to try it last night. 


I was not aware at all that most of the dishes are cooked with chili. There are actually options on how the food is cooked: no chili at all, medium level and high level. My friend ordered the medium level. Luckily that for the last one year, I've been able to eat spicy food again but still I couldn't bare the heat of the chili. I had to buy milk to neutralize the hot sensation in my mouth and tummy. Overall, the food tasted good. 

Parrot Fish in Kampung Style - Rp. 96.000 (Rp. 16.000/ounce)

Fried Chicken Szechuan Style - Rp. 80.000

Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh at Taman Anggrek Mall


I had a late dinner at Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh with a friend. We wanted to give a try this quite famous Bak Kut Teh restaurant that has been established since 1973 in Singapore. 

What we ordered:

Bak Kut - Rp. 55.500
I could taste the pepper but it was way too salty.
My friend even had to ask for an extra bowl of pork stock added with hot water.

Garlic was fried too long that caused bitter after taste.

Braised Salted Vegetable - Rp. 18.500
Good, sweet and salty. Love the texture.

Chinese Tea - Rp. 28.500

All prices are subjected to 10% tax and 5% service charge
