Restoran Foon Lock, Kg Bukit Tinggi
We were on our way to Genting and Gary thought of stopping over at Restoran Foon Lock for lunch as he heard that the frog (tin kai) noodles was delicious. All of us agreed, since we didnt really know where to eat anyways..
Kg Bukit Tinggi is a sleepy little town; Restoran Foon Lock is hard to miss, a rather large corner restaurant with a huge signboard nestled in the heart of the town..
We ordered steamed frog with vermicelli... 
The serving was huge, the dish was piping hot and light chinese wine aroma wafted from the dish. The broth was extremely sweet from the tin kai and wine, while it's also hot from the ginger. Good first dish as we did not have breakfast, the warm soup settled our tummies nicely :)

This is really good as the chicken meat was very springy and very fresh. Though a very simple and mild dish, I find this a satisfying dish.

I was hoping that Foon Lock had a good version of it, most unfortunately, it was just average. Would have tasted great if they used younger shoots instead.

Though very fresh, the fish had quite a lot bones which made it pretty cumbersome to eat. The accompanying soy based sauce was just mediocre.

Took quite a while for the dish to arrive, the fresh water prawns were very large and fresh. Cooked in sweet, sour and spicy sauce; I was surprised that the strong tasting sauce did not overwhelm the sweetness of the prawns. The more I ate this dish, the more I enjoyed it..

I love mushrooms, but Foon Lock's stir fried mushrooms had too much ginger in it. So much so that I could not really enjoy the subtle flavours of the mushrooms. So sad:(.
