新古毛美食 - 王伍记酒家（Kuala Kubu Bharu Food - Wong Ng Kee Restaurant）

新古毛是一个宁静优美的小镇，我在这里长大。可能就是习惯了朴素、平静的生活，即使曾经努力地在五光十色的大城市生活过，最后还是决定留在这个毫不起眼的小地方活下去。原本籍籍无名的小镇，因为某某候选人在大选时的风波，搞得连我来自吉兰丹在新加坡工作的朋友一听到新古毛就大喊熟悉！ 

其实经过几个电视节目和杂志的推介， 经常都有慕名而来的游客们问路说海南鸡扒哪里找，潮州菜该往哪儿走等等。如果要向第一次到新古毛的朋友介绍第一号美食，我还是会选择潮州菜，而第二号我觉得非王伍记酒家莫属。这是我从小就随家人光顾到大的老餐馆，以前可是赫赫有名的喜宴、聚餐的红招牌。经过岁月的洗礼，加上镇上一些新餐馆的竞争，没有亮丽的装潢，这餐馆好像都被本地人给遗忘，外地人给忽略了。其实，还是有一些忠实的老粉丝，每天都给于这个依然保有老味道的餐馆默默的支持。只是我觉得游客们对新古毛的印象不应该是”傍晚开始新古毛就没东西吃了“。这里每天上午11时开始营业到晚上九时许。

有几道从小吃到大的面食跟菜肴是我每每在外地生活一段日子后回到家乡一定要吃到的，而且是二十几年味道始终不变。还有老板娘亲切的笑容和问候，总让人有回家的感觉，浓浓的人情味就是从这里开始的。

有机会来/回新古毛，不妨光顾一下这老字号，好好品尝一下新古毛的人情味。它就在新古毛大街上，一定找得到的^^

注：全部面食和菜肴让我们一家五口吃得很撑，加上两杯咖啡和一壶茶总共74零吉，算平民吧！

Kuala Kubu Bharu is a peaceful beautiful small town where I was brought up. I left the colourful big cities after nearly 10 years staying away from home and come back to this small little town eventually for the peaceful and simple life which I could not found anywhere else in the world. The name Kuala Kubu Bharu has become popular within the nation because of the little issue caused by one of the politicians during the past election. Even my friend who comes from Kelantan and works in Singapore knows exactly where it is when I mention this in our conversation.

Kuala Kubu Bharu is no longer a hidden town after being appeared on TV shows, newspapers and magazines. Every so often there are tourists asking directions for Hainanese chicken chop and the famous Teo Chew cuisine. However the Teo Chew food is still the champion food that I would recommend for friends who make their first visit to the town, the second place that I would strongly recommend would be nowhere else but Wong Ng Kee restaurant. It is an old restaurant which was always the first choice to the locals whenever there were special dinners back in 30 years and my family has been visiting since I was young. As time passed by, this gem has been overlooked by locals and tourists because of new competitors and its old finish. Somehow this restaurant still owns supports from a few loyal customers for their specialty. This restaurant opens daily from 11am to 9pm therefore please do not worry if you are looking for food in Kuala Kubu Bharu in the evening.

A few special delicacies on the menu are my favourites that made the restaurant a must visit every time I came back for holidays few years back. The flavour of their food has never changed for 20 years or more and you will always be welcomed by the lady boss' heart warming smiles.

If there is a chance you are coming to or passing by Kuala Kubu Bharu, please do not hesitate to visit this restaurant and have a try on the local flavours. It is located right at the town centre and you will not miss it.

p/s: All of the food below cost RM74 including a pot of Chinese tea and 2 hot coffee but we felt extremely stuffed!

玲琅满目的菜单就写在挂在店里墙壁上的板子。形形色色的菜肴不是一次可以品尝完的，让我介绍一下我吃了二十几年（不懂事的婴儿阶段不算）味道始终如一的精选菜单吧！ 

It is impossible to try everything out in the menu at one go but I will show you a few specialty which are all my favourites for more than 20 years (not including infant period of course lol).

卤面(Loh Mee) - 面条是老板兼大厨亲手擀的，味道跟Q度只此一家别无分店。习惯吃乌鲁音卤面的人会奇怪怎么这卤面是白白的，其实店家会体贴的给你一瓶乌醋，依个人喜好自行添加。我喜欢吃原味，才吃得到其中的鲜甜和美味。

Loh Mee - This is a kind of noodle with thick gravy and egg. If you came across Ulu Yam Loh Mee before then this is too pale for you but do not worry dark vinegar is prepared for you and you can add into your noodle according to your preference. It is homemade noodle made by the chef and the flavour is exclusive. I do not like to add vinegar personally so that I can taste the natural flavour of the ingredients.

干捞叉烧云吞面(Wonton Noodle with BBQ Pork) - 店家卖的其实是很老味道的粤菜，所以每天都有新鲜的蜜汁叉烧。颜色没有外面卖的亮丽，但是真的就是叉烧该有的味道，有时候下午买个叉烧配白饭也可以吃得很滋味。云吞面也是店家自制的，简单的干捞云吞面，配上特制的捞酱，其实也可以好好地满足你的味蕾。

Wonton Noodle with BBQ Pork - The chef prepared BBQ pork (char siew) everyday and their BBQ pork is really authentically good. The wonton noodle is homemade as well. The noodle taste excellent with their special sauce and the juicy BBQ pork. Even a simple plain rice with their BBQ pork will not disappoint you.  

云吞窝(Fried Wonton in Soup) - 其实就是菜肉汤里加了几大颗炸云吞。没有大大只弹牙的虾但其美味是要吃过才会懂的。

Fried Wonton in Soup - The soup base is made with pork, shrimps and vegetables. The crispy fried wontons are soaked in the soup. You will never know how it taste until you try it!

炸春卷(Special Spring Roll) - 也是店家自制的小吃之一。脆脆的外皮里面包有菜和肉，配着酸梅酱和辣椒酱吃很棒！

Special Spring Roll - This is one of their specialty. Very crispy pastry and it is stuffed with minced pork, vegetables and shrimps. It is best eating with their complimentary plum sauce and chilli sauce.

中式鸡扒(Oriental Chicken Chop - Totamo Sauce/Black Pepper Sauce) - 很多年前就知道这里有卖鸡扒，只要爸妈不坚持吃饭我们有时候也会点。一直以来都只知道有下图的茄汁鸡扒，今天老板说有黑胡椒选择，结果我们点了各一份，都很好吃。鸡扒炸得外酥内软多汁，淋上很到位的酱汁简直就是好吃到吮手指。值得一提的是店家不是西餐厅所以没有储备冷冻薯条，都是用新鲜马铃薯炸成的。镇上除了夜市营业的马来档鸡扒，这里的是第一名！

Oriental Chicken Chop - Tomato/Black Pepper Sauce - They have been doing chicken chop for many years but I was only told there is black pepper flavour during my last visit. We ordered each flavour and they are both finger licking good. The tangy tomato sauce and fragrant peppery sauce taste absolutely fantastic with the crispy deep fried chicken. Be reminded this is not a western food restaurant therefore their chips are made with fresh potatoes. Their chicken chop is at the top place in town except the one sold in a local Malay stall.

排骨王 (King Ribs - pork chop in special sauce) - 应该是用里脊肉做的“排骨王”大多时候是没有骨的。浓厚的酱汁附着在腌得很入味、煎得香香的猪排上，配上香香的芝麻，是我们几姐弟每次光顾必点的！大人小孩都应该很喜欢，而且非常开胃，很下饭。可是如果·小孩不能吃辣可以跟店家说，因为这菜有用小辣椒提味，以免有时候店家不小心下重手了变呛辣小孩就没得吃了^^

King Ribs - pork chop in special sauce - I supposed this is made with loin pork chop and they are boneless most of the time. The well marinated pork chop is crispy and coated with the marvellous sauce and topped with nice roasted sesame. It is one of their signature dish for us and it is loved by both adults and kids. Please inform the waitress to reduce or avoid the chillies in the sauce if you like no hotness as they normally add some into it.

老味道咖啡 (Old Fashioned Coffee) - 虽然说新古毛有许多英国殖民留下来的痕迹，可是要吃到真正的海南味道其实很不容易了。你不会想到在这家老餐馆里头竟然可以喝到浓烈老咖啡的味道，就是小时候那些咖啡馆才喝得到的味道。你只要叫一杯热咖啡，不用说‘gao gao’ 或加浓，就是照片里的这个颜色，非常浓郁，看不出来却喝得到浓厚的奶咖啡的味道。喝后喉咙有一股甘甘香香的咖啡味，想要回味一下老咖啡的味道，真的可以来这里试一试。这里的奶茶，鸳鸯也不错哦！只是这里没有烤面包，不然真的十全十美了！

Old Fashioned Coffee - It is not easy to find a cup of coffee that has the traditional thick and milky flavour although we were once British colonial where Hainanese coffee shops were everywhere in town but those were all once upon a time stories now. You will be surprised that you can get the old taste of memory here in an old Chinese restaurant. Just order a cup or a big glass of hot coffee (save the term 'gao gao' (thick) that you normally has to emphasize when ordering coffee) and you will get a cup of coffee exactly like the one shown in the picture above.
