21 January 2012: It was a hot afternoon and my parents and I were looking for an air-conditioned restaurant for lunch. Hence, we decided to give Kim Heong Restaurant (好清香海鲜大饭店) a try. Kim Heong Restaurant is located opposite The Store supermarket. This shop lot used to be Janbo Restaurant but taken over by Kim Heong Restaurant few years ago.

I was starving prior to having lunch. Hence, I forgot to snap photos of the dishes before eating. However, after trying each of the dishes, I decided to snap photos of the leftover. Here they are...

• Fried Hokkien Noodles (福建面) (RM15) -> The noodle is extremely salty. Although our tolerance level for saltiness is above average, I still cannot take this. Something's is really wrong with the taste bud of the chef.
• Fried Spare Rib with Shrimp Paste (黄金虾酱骨) (RM13 per piece) -> Each piece of spare ribs costs RM13. We ordered 3 pieces of this, so this dish costs us RM39. The spare ribs are too dry, hard, tough and rough. This is definitely difficult to eat.
• Pumpkin Beancurd (金瓜豆腐) (RM18) -> Almost tasteless.
• Spinach with Soup (上汤苋菜) (RM15) -> I can't imagine that even this dish can go wrong. The spinach itself is young and fresh but it is somehow overcook until it become hard and difficult to be eaten.

My parents and I suspect that the dishes is not cooked by the main chef since it's near Chinese New Year. Hence, we checked with the person in charge. However, the person in charge insist that the main chef actually cook the dishes. While we are complaining about the quality of the dishes, a lady from another table interrupted and claimed that she just complained on the food.

In conclusion, quality of food here is very disappointing and definitely overpriced. PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE DECIDING TO DINE IN THIS RESTAURANT.
