Hakka Dinner

Ken's last official work in Hong Kong was a meeting in Kuala Lumpur followed by an international training conference in Singapore. Since our furniture was already sailing home and our flat was totally empty, I decided to tag along. These are two of my favorite places so tagging along was an easy sell.

On our first night in KL, our friend Caslin took us to an Hakka Chinese restaurant. The Hakka people are one of the ethnic Chinese groups and Caslin's heritage is Hakka. Each of the ethnic groups and regions will have unique dishes and flavors and trying as many of these as possible was always a goal for Ken and I. Fortunately Ken and I had the opportunity to savor this unique cuisine before leaving Asia. We had a great guide for our culinary adventure as well.

The restaurant was very traditional in its decor, simple with dark wood throughout.

The dishes were tasty and unique in presentation.

Flavors were often layered on the plate so that the diners can mix to suit one's personal taste. It was an interesting meal that gave us an opportunity to experience yet another of the amazing cuisines of the region.
