Ah Mui Home Cooked Hakka Food (阿梅客家家鄉菜)

This lunch has been planned one week in advance. My uncle told me about this place in Kepong that served awesome Hakka home cooked food. Being a foodie himself, his assurance carries a significant vote of confidence. He has warned me in advance that we have to get there before 12pm as the queue may be bad.

When we got there at around noon, we were perhaps the 2nd or 3rd batch that arrived. We  were quite relieved that we were right on time before the crowd build up.  However, we still waited for about 20-25 minutes before the food was served. They are pretty slow. All the dishes are really nice with home cooked flavor in it though.

Of the 6 dishes that we ordered, I can't think of any one dish which is so so.  Kudos to my uncle who did the ordering. I particularly like the pork belly with "mui choy", the fish and the pork leg with ginger and vinegar very much. Party of 6 lunch costs RM101. Value for money for a satisfying lunch. It feels exceptionally satisfying eating with family members with enormous appetite!
