Lui char, hor poh style

Came back from lunch with my family and cousins. Me and one of my cousins boyfriend actually works in the same company. Out of the office I call him ‘kor kor’, when in the office I address by his name. It’s weird la. Should I just address him by his name next time we are out of the office?

I have been eating like it’s end of the world for the whole of the CNY. I need to exercise man! Here’s what we ate for lunch.


Hor Poh Restaurant in Sri Sinar Jaya, Kepong. Hor Poh is actually something Hakka.


The main dish is called Lui Char, also known as Ham Char (Salty tea). The dish consist of rice, different types of vegetables and a tea. This is the types of vegetable that are the usual in a Lui Char dish.


This is the tea, or ‘char’. It’s actually more like a soup, but Hor Poh calls it tea. It’s green because it mostly consists of basil leaves blended with other ingredient to make the soup.

To eat, all the vegetables are actually mixed in to a bowl of rice. Then the tea is poured into the bowl. The whole bowl will be like ‘rojak’ now, you’ll have to mix it and there you have it. Lui char. Rating: 9.5/10


We ordered clay pot assam prawns. Tasted delicious. Rating : 8.5/10


Pork legs, or actually pork hands. It’s deep fried ‘chi sau’. Ratings: 8/10


Hor Poh tofu stuffed with fish/meat. Slurp slurp…if OUG chow tofu had a texture like that…that would be great! Ratings 8/10


Hor poh vegetable kuih. Ratings: 7/10

Going for a buffet steamboat dinner in Sunway later. Food again…OMG! But I can’t wait! Hiew Yuen, Nick, Ai Li and Jin Bee will the there too! I haven seen them for 1 and a half years already!
