I miss the “Hakka Lui Cha” that I’ve
tasted in Ipoh. This Hakka specialty is definitely a nutritious choice for
those that concern about healthy food. A newly opened restaurant at One World,
Ruyi Delights如意算盤 has finally my wish-comes-true
whereby the dish is reachable easily.
No doubt that I’ve ordered the Hakka Tea
Rice客家擂茶, the rice that is topped with various
vegetable and roasted peanut and being served together with a bowl of greenish
soup that is made of the tea leaves and herbs being grounded with roasted nuts,
seeds and grains. The correct way to taste this dish is by pouring the tea into
the rice mixture and letting the soup to flood over it completely. The tea is
cooked to the “perfect” temperature that its nice aroma is wandering in the
air. Despite the vegetable is not so “unique” for its rough cutting or
chopping, I’ve indeed enjoyed the deliciousness of the “Hakka Lui Cha”.
Besides, I’ve ordered the Hakka Yong Tao Fu客家釀豆腐
that consists of stuffed Tao Fu and bitter gourd with minced pork, bean curd
roll and sliced lotus. These ingredients that have been fried are poured with a
light soy-based sauce and being served together with the garlic chili sauce. I
like especially the Tao Fu for its soft and smooth texture while the saltiness
of the minced pork has been a right match to complete the tastiness.
On my next visit, I’ve tried the Hakka
Abacus 客家算盤子 that can be either cooked or fried.
The name is originated from the shape that is alike the Abacus that has been
used for calculations in the old times. The Abacus is made of yam and this dish
is indeed quite pricey for the small portion due to the expensive raw
ingredient and its complicated preparation. My bowl of cooked Abacus is served
with minced pork that the tasteless yam is enhanced by the thick soup. The dish
is quite special but I’m not really fancy about it.
I’m happy that I’ve finally a delicious
Hakka Tea Rice in Penang. This is the right place for this healthy dish.
