My dad told me that one of Sekinchan neighbor was coming to Kansas City for working. I should go to visit her, even my grandma said...haha and luckily I did! I didn’t see her for a long long time, we were planning back to Fargo driving over the night, but that day was thunder storm! So we just chill at her brother’s restaurant until everyone get off. It was a BIG Japanese restaurant! One shop for sushi and stuff and another is Terriyaki.. I felt so paiseh all the time! When we arrived there already like 9.30pm, we had been starving for 4 hours after the drive. She was so kind cooked us some fried rice for our stomach while waiting for them..
They brought us to an authentic Hong Kong restaurant about 11 pm. I surprise that restaurant open until 1 am! It was rare especially in America! Most of the restaurants close around 9pm! This restaurant made all of us feel like at home for a sudden! Paiseh moment again when ordering the food… there are so many dishes but we have no idea what to get… suddenly one of my friend said belacan kangkong, we were just kidding but surprisingly they do have that!!!! OMG… the dinner was like Chinese wedding style! First was 咕噜肉,kangkong belancan (gone within 5 minutes!! ) ,麻婆豆腐 ( Hong kong style I guess but I think mine is better lol) 扣肉, salt fish with eggplant, fried squid, fried ikan bilis (MUST TRY!! The anchovy melted away when u put in your mouth! ) and lastly a steamed tilapia… (Finally got to eat steam + fresh fish...i almost cry….hahaha) I finished most of the fish, and as usual… im the MPPJ of everything… This restaurant might not be a good restaurant in Malaysia or Asia, but I would definitely said that it was the best and most authentic Chinese food that I tried in all over America, perhaps there are some good restaurant in New York, but I definitely recommend this one which in Kansas City! We all had a really blast time that night, especially me! I felt so warm when I heard teochew again…haha its kinda sad I seldom heard people talking in Teochew or Hokkien here… all I speak in this 2 years are Chinese English Malay Cantonese and maybe Korean… that day when I called back and talk to my grandma, I barely can speak but I can understand well… I feel so guilty! Especially when I tried to talk but my mind keep interpreting me to speak Cantonese to her….>< anyway, congratulation to her brother that getting married soon with a viet girl! She looks so kind!
That night, I think was the first night I slept for fully 6 hours without waking up in the middle of night, its feel satisfaction sleep after you had a great meal! Haha… I know its not good, but I didn’t have this kind of feeling in US but this, this meal really make me wanna go back Malaysia again!!! Hahaha…
