Restaurant Kong Sai, Taman Paramount

Back from a rejuvenating trip at Mulu, shall update on that soon.
For now, I'll write about Kong Sai, a popular eatery in Paramount Garden, for it's home style cooking. Years back, Kong Sai operates from a shack just across it's current shoplot. Guess the business has been steady and they relocate to a cleaner, brighter environment a few years back. Funny that I never wrote about Kong Sai, and during this visit, I finally remembered to bring along my camera :p
Started off the meal with pig's stomach soup..
Fantastic way to start the meal, the soup's piping hot, buzzing with pepper spiciness and the thick stomach slices had a nice, chewy texture.
My first taste of Kong Sai was their famed yellow (steamed) chicken- springy, sweet flesh that goes amazingly well with their secret dipping sauce. Power dipping sauce I tell ya, it enhances the overall flavour of the chicken. Leaves such lasting impression that I had to order this everytime I'm here.
The homely looking stuffed beancurd..
Generously filled with mince meat, take a bite and the light, still warm broth explodes inside my mouth. Simple, yet satisfying.
We need our greens right?
Decent but miserly sized yau mak.
This recent meal, I noticed though, was heavily laced with MSG.
Restaurant Kong Sai is located at 39, Jalan 20/22, Taman Paramount, PJ.
