Tonight's late dinner
Went out for a late dinner with my parents. In Malaysia, it's very common for people to go out for dinner during weekends. A decent filling dinner in Malaysia can be had for approx. RM5-15/head (approx. USD2.00-5.00/head).

Went to one of the nearby tai chow (literal translation of cantonese: "big fry" =D) restaurants for dinner. Tai chow are Chinese restaurants that serve localised Chinese dishes that are prepared and cooked to order. The dishes ordered are usually accompanied by white rice. Since it's past the usual dinner time, most patrons would generally order noodles instead of dishes with rice. Similarly, that's what I did too.

Mun Yee Meen (Braised Pre-fried Noodles) - single portion


Foreground: Spinach and Century Egg in Soup; Background: Claypot Loh See Fun (literal translation - "Mouse Noodles" =D)


Also ordered Fried Mi-fun (i.e. Rice Vermicelli). Unfortunately, I was too busy tucking in to take a picture of it. It was a satisfying and filling dinner. The total bill for the food and tea came up to RM21 (approx. USD6.50).
