Ke Ren Lai 客人来

There is this nice little restoran in Pelangi. It is called Ke Ren Lai or visitors are welcome. Here is some good info on the restoran and the Hakka traditional foods: http://www.eats.my/review.php?id=770&title=Tapu_Hakka_specialties

Would I go there again? Yes.
Where is it? 6, Jalan Pingai (Taman Sri Pelangi), Johor Bahru, Johor 80400

They sell very good ham cha. Ham cha or thunder tea rice is a  Hakka Chinese dish consisting of 7 different types of vegetables on a bed of rice. Alongside you get a bowl of green tea/ lui cha which is made of tea, peanuts and peppermint. You can eat the vegies separate to the tea/soup or mix them all together. Both ways are absolutely delicious. See these sites for more info: http://www.melakabest.com/2009/02/02/hakka-lui-cha-or-ham-cha/ , http://ppunlimited.blogspot.com/2011/05/hakka-ham-cha.html

They also serve Hakka Drunken Chicken. This is chicken cooked in rice wine. Here is one recipe I found: http://www.asianeasyrecipe.com/recipes/hakka/hakka-drunken-chicken.php This dish is often given to new mothers after the birth of their babies. It makes them sweat and helps them recover. Years later it seems this dish brings many happy memories.

I also ate a green vegetable, choy sum with oyster sauce. Here is a recipe: http://www.deliciousasianfood.com/2007/06/13/choy-sum-with-oyster-sauce/
