King Hu Tg. Aru

This is a very old fashion Chinese restaurant, unless you are a local, you won't guess that this place serves marvelous dishes at affordable price. There won't be any menus here, since most of the patron at King Hu are regulars and practically memorized all the menus. But for those who really wish to indulge in something exotic, you can have ostrich meat or pork knuckles served cold, my favorite. There's other common dishes such as sweet sour fish fillet, lemon chicken, seaweed soup and even steamed garoupa, but I can assure you the taste is simply delicious. The other night, we had want to celebrate a birthday and came in without reservation. Need I say that the place is almost fully booked, but I told the waiter there, we have 9 people with us, they quickly usher us to a big table (taking away, the reserved sign as he go off). So the trick is just say, you have at least 6 people dining in. Otherwise they won't take you in. I don't really care for the decor, its pretty out-dated, dire need of face-lift, but the customer couldn't care less. The food is the main attraction here, and the restaurant only open at night.

We had pretty decent meal size for 9 people, Lemon chicken, sweet sour fish, cold sliced pork knuckle, stew fried Sabah veggie and mince meat with tofu. All that cost about RM100. Not bad at all. I always recommen this place to everyone who happen to miss local cuisine and they never been disappointed so far.
