melts in your mouth...

Such are the offerings at Restoran Hainan Curry Rice - melts in your mouth... it all comes together in a sensorial explosion that leads people coming back for more and more, day in day out. You gotta try it to believe it...

But be careful - as one patron aptly puts it, "It's addictive".....!!!!!

...and they came indeed!!!

Who would have thought? A humble intermediate shop-lot in Bukit Tinggi Klang could command such a following and drawing in of hundreds-strong crowds.... day in and day out... for the past 8 DAYS!!!

Thus was the opening week of RESTORAN HAINAN CURRY RICE... we did not open with the full fanfare that you see in HK movies (the likes of red firecrackers, lion dance, ribbon cutting, joss-stick wielding owners). Instead, it was a mild rolling back of the shop shutters, silent uttering of hopeful prayers, followed by the respectful unveiling of the inner signage by the two partners...

What followed soon after was enough droning of people swarming into the shop and ordering food and drinks - from opening hour till all the food vaporised before our eyes (usually at 3.30pm).... that was all the warmth and feeling we needed... the adventure has truly begun for the Wongs this time... and the rollercoaster showed no sign of slowing down!!!

May God continue to put this house (Restoran Hainan Curry Rice) in order and send in whirlwinds of customers to sweep across Bukit Tinggi...

More on the second week soon...

FEVER PITCH!!! Soft opening 18 June 2006... come one come all!

Not only in Germany has it reached fever pitch, it's blazing in Klang too... at the Hainan Curry Rice restaurant to be exact. Soft opening (is there such a thing? if it's open, people are going to come - and you would want to make an impression wouldn't you?) planned for 18 June - Father's Day. With our little staff of one Myanmar lady, ad-hoc-semi-skilled-family staff, one great chef... we are opening doors at 9 AM to serve breakfast, followed by lunch - offering the great Hainanese Curry Rice selection!

We could no longer stand to let the masses of people down (the many who peeked in through the half-open shutters to ask about the shop). It is with a sense of pride to know that we're going to allow Klang-ites the pleasure of revisiting their strange fascination, obsession and craving for Hainanese Curry Rice....!

So... with bated breath, and one crazy Saturday ahead of preparations... we will come back with the full fanfare of the great opening day, and a great beginning...
