Kedai Makan 888 or 888 茶餐室 is located in a Chinese new village of Gua Musang. It is a rustic chilled place where most of the patrons were elderly who would “blow water” while having a meal.
Steamed Fish (White Tail): With close proximity to the river, you can ensure that their fresh water fish sold here are fresh. The fish recipe was the standard decent kind but with extra freshness, hence with it’s with sweet natural flavors, enhanced by the light soy sauce and gravy.
Fried Pork Belly: I think this simple dish was one of their must-try dishes. The thin sliced pork belly was stir fried in oil, until the meat almost becoming crispy. It was a salty, flavorful dish which goes very well with white rice. It was quite oily and salty but I guess that’s what made it good.
On a side note: Wild boars meat was in high demand in this shop. I saw many passersby tried to order batches of wild boar curry but the meat was out of stock. I overheard that they source the meat from the native hunters nearby.
I also ordered a plate of simple stir fried vegetables, but it was very salty. I even bit some chunks of undissolved salt in the vegetables.
All of the dishes above, plus one plate of rice and a glass of barley (instant mix kind) costed me RM27.
