So it’d be a Saturday, where Dad’s makan-makan gang (consisting of Auntie Cherry, Uncle Raj, Auntie Audrey, Uncle Tuckles and Kutu) were whisked away to the depths of Kepong Baru to have Auntie Wan’s food and of course, to congratulate her on the opening of her latest restaurant!

The Yim family themselves are awfully familiar with the many delectable dishes Auntie Wan’s chefs cook up. Now, we just wanted to make sure our closest friends love the food as well!

Regal House Restaurant Front

Located in the most obscure places of Kepong Baru,  right smack in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the Kepong Baru market is what we presume to be a lavishly furnished building (the old run-down Parkson Ria). Auntie Wan has 3 floors this time (imagine the size of her kitchen!) There was a wedding the night we were there and some people in Malaysian Brides were asking about it :P

Oh yes lets get to the food =P

Makan Time!

We’ve got our usual ‘must order dish’ for Wai’s sake. We never fail to order ‘Sweet & Sour Pork’ in a Chinese Restaurant whenever he comes along ^-^

Sweet and Sour Pork : Succulent pork meat pieces with crunchy batter, in a tangy citrus sauce of capsicum, tomatoes, pineapple and Onions.

The family favourite, “Ham Yu Zhu Yok Peng”, Cantonese for ” Fried Pork and Salted Fish Patties” often served with a few halved limes (limau kasturi) for that additional zing.

Salted Fish and Pork Patties: Salted Fish and Pork paste simmered lightly in oil to great a crispy and chewy patties. So juicy and not as salty or strong smelling as you would think :P

We did of course have some Vege to go along with all that meat.

Fried Eggplant Dish: A lightly cooked eggplant dish with a salty and light spice flavour. This dish had to be cooked just right before the eggplant is overcooked into a soggy mush.

No Chinese meal is complete without Rice,

Emperors Fried Rice: This is the Fried Rice of royalty. Dried Scallop bits , prawns, and scallops with long grain rice. There could be hints of peanut oil and rose wine :)

Emperor's Fried Rice: This is the Fried Rice of royalty. Dried Scallop bits , special prawn meatballs, diced spring onions with long grain rice. There could be hints of peanut oil and rose wine :)

We had our money’s worth for paying less than RM30 per pax (maybe it’s cause we have known the owner for one and a half decades) for all these dishes considering that it would be rated under the ‘above-average’ Chinese Restaurant Dining.

Def Non-Halal, this is for one of those times you want to have that family meal experience.
