Kang Kong with Shrimp Sauce 咸虾蕹菜

Kang Kong with Shrimp Sauce 咸虾蕹菜 (RM6.00), a specialty you hardly found in any restaurant. Kang Kong was blanched and topped with unique salty dried shrimp paste… my first encounter at Heng Kee/Hing Kee 兴记 restaurant at China Street, Georgetown, Penang.

大包 Big Bun

What a juicy big bun 大包! The gravy flew out the moment I peeled the outer layer.
