Awesome Char Siew @ The Home Cooking Dishes, Sg. Way

One fine day after work, we were going through Sungai Way to skip some traffic jam and first decided to try the famous BKT there but they were all closed (apparently only open day time) so we made a random choice of dining at The Home Cooking Dishes. 

Operating in a corner house, the restaurant doesn't look as appetising from the outside. While everything in the restaurant looks old, it does however, appears to be a very clean and comfortable place to have your dinner at.

The menu comes in a piece of A4 size paper, limited choices but to us it was good enough, at least it has pork, chicken, tofu, fish, egg, vegetables and even two prawn dishes. Do check out their white board for specials, especially fish dishes.
Since we only wanted a simple dinner, here are the three dishes we ordered...

拖地叉烧 "Mopping Floor Char Siew", RM12 (small),

Bitter Gourd Omelet, RM9.80 (small).

Stir-Fry Eggplant and Long Beans with Dried Prawns, RM10.80 (small).

As their signature dish, the 拖地叉烧 (literal translation: Mopping Floor Char Siew) didn't fail to impress us. Juicy yet not oily, the special sauce used is not as red as the usual Char Siew Sauce and not as sweet as the usual sauce as well. I have to say it's one of the best Char Siew I've ever tried so far! And for the price of RM12, the portion is definitely very generous! Super thumb-up!
While the Bitter Gourd Omelet is just quite normal, the Stir-Fry Eggplant and Long Beans with Dried Shrimps was truly satisfying. Simple cooking style, nice aroma and taste coming out just from the dried shrimps make the dish so homey and delicious! 

Surprisingly good dinner we had!!! :)

With a portion of rice and a pot of Chinese tea for two, the bill came up to RM36.80, which is quite decent for a satisfying home-cooked style dinner.
We never really thought the tiny restaurant would serve such awesome food but we left the place super happy and satisfied! Must go back one day to try other dishes! :)
