Restaurant Hock Seng Kopitiam, Ara Damansara, PJ

This Tai Chow opens for dinner (anyone can confirm if it's open for lunch?) and is part of the two corner lots which are back to back to one another. The one in front (depends on your orientation and preference) will close probably by 2 pm and consists of hawker stalls and Kopitiam stuff. I do have breakfast and lunch there regularly. Their hawker fares are above average.

I needed a quick dinner fix and this is just outside our house. A mere 2 min walk. Our first since they took over the shop from the previous operator (Ler Seafood Restaurant). The Tai Chow cooks are foreigners and they do a decent job getting our dinner out. The price is reasonable and the portion generous.

We had Claypot Pork Belly with Salted Fish, Squid with Dry Chillis and Stir-fry Kailan. The best was the Pork Belly. It was done with little caramelisation and lots of gravy which I like. The salted fish taste and smell were around but not overpowering. Sauces were generous and taste strong as they should be.

The Squid with Dry Chilis was a tad sweet and was mild and not hot (spicy) enough. Still, I got to munch on some seafood which made me happy. The Kailan veggies were obligatory roughage and sometimes consumed without much complaints whether, good, better or best.
