Be The Simple 'You'

Date : 10th Jan 10
Time : 9pm
Venue : Restaurant Ho Boh


Restaurant Ho Boh is a Hakka dishes restaurant.
Some of you might know some of you might not.

Still remember i saw the article bout this restaurant is 2 years ago.
I know Hakka dishes quite well cause my mom is Hakka.
They have shop at KL and Taipan as well.
The one i have a try is located at Taipan. =)

If you are chinese, for sure you will know after give birth there is a dish use 'chinese wine' cook with ginger and chicken.
The smell if really very nice and tasty!
Besides that, Hakka famous with a kind of Yam kuih.

Is salty dish, cook with black fungus, dry prawn, garlic, fried onion and etc...

The decoration of Restaurant Ho Boh is very simple and old style.
If you live in wooden house village before, then you will definately know what i try to say.
The wooden cupboard with net door to keep bowl, plates, spoons, chopsticks and etc.
All the wooden furniture and the simple and village feel.

It brings you another kind of feel and you can experience what is a village life.

Simple but happy. Not rich but yet to survive. =)
Village life always the best because all the villages are very easy to satisfy of their life.
At least they are happy and have a warm family compare to who stay in city always need to work for money and live in a lonely big house.

As mentioned, i ordered 3 simple dishes.

Taufu with pork, 'chinese wine' chicken & fried meatball - the one reminds me of all my childhood memories with family.
My mom always like to made fried meatball when me & my brother still in primary school.

We don't have our own house, we rent a small 'rumah panjang' with RM50.
Our life is just enough for spend, simple but we happy. =)
Mom work as promoter, father is a sawmill who always will take care the house and take some woods from factory and make us writting desks, cupboard, chair and etc...
Our transport only motorbike, bicycle and of cause transport number eleven. (Jalan Kaki, the 2 legs look like eleven, the number)

Long time i never had this dish already.
Father has gone to heaven and mom most propably forgot she like to make this dish last time.

Especially Chinese New Year Eve.
I was so naughty last time, refuse to eat due to always get to eat.
Now.. at the moment i saw it on menu,
only i notice long long long time ago... i had this dish before..
When i have my first bite,
the feeling is really unexplainable and tears is nearly drop. =)
How much i miss it =)
Not only the taste but the memories.

Alot of us has forgot what we have last time,
but it might be beautiful and meaningful.
Sometimes we are just busy of our life and forget about the simple thing.
Sometimes we thought something is not important,
but maybe 10 years later, you want to see/touch/feel it again,
is really impossible.
Catch what you have, appreciate what you get.
You need to work hard for your future,
but never ever forget about the simple & happy 'you' in past. =)
