Old school taste Assam Fish & Salted fried chicken ~ Hup Kee, Jalan Ipoh

Very old school "dai-chao" place in Jalan Ipoh. The restaurant exterior, interior, food, even the smells inside the restaurant are so old school. It flash back some memory of dad bought us whole family dine out at"dai-chao" restaurant like this when I was young. The food is, delicious and taste unique! Well, my friend who is like a "Eating God" so far never fail to introduce me delicious food! It's like homecooked dish but they have their own recipe for the taste. 

We have 3 dishes - Assam fish (with mah yau fish) where the assam gravy more tangy from those ordinary assam fish I have so far. More close to the Penang Assam Laksa broth yet it has the Nyonya Acar flavour mix in between? The salted fried kampong chicken is the dish that will make me come back again for it. According to my friend, the chicken is either boiled or steam before they deep fried it. A chicken dish that his mom will make with the chicken meat that use to boil chicken essence, batter it and deep fried and turn into another dish. The chicken meat texture is soft and flavourful while the skin is crispy. While the ice vegetable salad is refreshing but portion is too big for 2 pax to finish even though we asked for small serving.
