Stopped by Hakka Rang Restaurant after hearing so many good things of their traditional fare.
📌 Hakka Rang Restaurant, Petaling Jaya.

Abacus Seeds [RM14.90]; Lei Cha [RM13.50]; Stuffed Beancurd Ball [RM3/pc]
✨: I absolutely loved the stuffed beancurd ball -- the fluffy tofu soaked up all the flavourful broth like a sponge and was jam-packed with juicy minced meat. I was instantly hit with nostalgia as the dish was once a family favourite (until our neighbourhood Hakka restaurant shut down :”)) This was also the first time I had abacus seeds. I’m definitely a fan of the bouncy bite and the fragrant flavour brought about the dish by the five-spice tofu, onion, and leeks.
💬: I did find the abacus seeds a tad too salty, though. As for the Lei Cha, I was sadly disappointed. I found the soup quite bland and diluted. The toppings, too, didn’t add much flavour. It was as if every element of the dish tasted of a single note.
I’ll definitely find a time to come back for their other meaty offerings such as the 炸肉 and the 猪脚醋!
