Can you see the fried pieces of fish?
A whole fried pomfret fish, chicken pieces with bitter gourd, lotus root and rice - MYR8.5
So for dinner we spent MYR20 and it was just economy rice.

Fish and fish
Normally we only find economy or mixed rice stalls available during lunch time but this shop in OUG has it for dinner. Many people were there with tiffin containers selecting food from the many dishes available as takeaways to eat at home for dinner with their families. I noticed that this shop serves many type of fish dishes so when we were there, each of us took a different type of fish dish and as expected fish dishes are more expensive.
粉葛 or 'fan kot' (Cantonese) or 'fen ge' (Mandarin) or Chinese Kudzu Root (Pueraria lobata) or Japanese Arrowroot with pork soup - MYR2 for a small bowl.
My dinner - a slice of steamed barramundi fish (siakap) - not clearly seen in the photo because it was broken into pieces as I just took a part of a whole slice and then the lady in charged saw it and then scooped the rest of the slice of fish for me so that's why the slice of fish is in many sections; stirfry shrimps with french beans, and fresh mustard greens - 芥菜 ("jie cai" - Mandarin or "gai choy" in Cantonese) - MYR9.5
So for dinner we spent MYR20 and it was just economy rice.
