To the Land of Ginger

Chinese are very famous with the use of GINGER in their daily lives. They use it to make remedy oil, tea and also yummy cooking.

This time we have planned for a visit to Bentong, Pahang. This not so small town is very, or should I say extremely famous with their ginger production (farmed locally). We went straight to a Restaurant named Foon Lock (Canton Kitchen). It isquite well-known for its  delicious dishes. (motormouth also have mentioned this place in his blog)

We ordered their signature ginger bee hoon (vermicelli) with chicken. The amount of ginger they put in the soup is sooo much, but yet not too pungent. 

Up next is their locally grown vegetable "Tin Chat", it tasted slightly like the malabar spinach, but the leaves are smaller, the texture after cooked is smoother and sweeter. 

 This is the meat dish. Stirred fry Pork Belly. The thinly sliced pork belly (I believe they quick-deep fried it before hand) is slightly sweet and salty, resembling BBQ sauce. Nice and crunchy.

 Lastly, Stuffed "Tau Foo Pok" (tau foo pok- it's deep-fried tau fu, leaving the outward skin golden brown). This dish is just okay for me cause I like a different type of stuffed meat with tau foo pok. 

After filling our tummy with nice main course we went for the famous home made ice cream!! This shop, Kow Po is mentioned on the gobentong website. Here's the link. http://www.gobentong.com/en/food/snacks/kow-po-ice-cream-house

Yay Ice- cream. We had the vanilla, coconut, peanut and corn. They have a varieties of flavours to choose from, but we arrived late, so most of them are sold out. (hmmmm- proof that they make it fresh daily?)
They also sell ice-kacang (ABC), ice-cendol for all those who lovesss dessert please drop by and try.
