Restoran Rasa Ribuan (千里香餐室), a popular family-run restaurant established since 1985, serves authentic Hakka delights as its specialties. It is located in one corner of a row of shops along Jalan Keris in Taman Sri Tebrau, right beside Zainal’s Place.
One of Rasa Ribuan’s signature items is its Hakka yong tau foo (客家酿豆腐) and several Hakka-style dishes, such as fried noodle, noodle soup, rice and yam abacus seeds (算盘子). Other dishes includes mala pork noodle, pig trotter in vinegar (猪脚醋), Nyonya-style otak-otak, etc. They also added limited polo buns with vanilla / caramel cream lava fillings recently.
The highly-recommended Hakka Yam Abacus Seeds (算盘子) is a dish with disc-shaped yam balls stir-fried with minced pork, mushroom, black fungus, garlic, cuttlefish, etc. It has nice flavours, mild-savoury and a great alternative to rice or noodle as staple.
For Hakka yong tau foo (客家酿豆腐), there are about 9 types to pick from. The selected items are served in special sweet-savoury Hakka gravy, which enhanced the tastiness of the yong tau foo. The Hakka yong tau foo can be paired with plain rice or dry / soup noodle as a dish itself or as a side dish to other main dishes.
The Hakka Fried Noodle (客家炒面条) uses flat yellow noodle to stir-fry with white cabbage, mushroom, minced pork meat, black fungus and shredded cuttlefish in a unique savoury sauce. The savoury dish has a nice wok aroma and flavour. It is also a nice dish to pair with yong tau foo.
Rasa Ribuan has a number of other Hakka dishes and they really look tasty. I will find an opportunity to try their lava-filling polo buns, probably best to try them when dining-in instead of taking-away.
