Gerai MDB (along an unknown road)
28700 Bentong
Coordinates: 3.521933, 101.906984
Brendan and Cat slept on through the afternoon and awoke
late in the evening. Consulting Vincent (my brother in law) through social
media (since he lives in the UAE but is a local Bentong boy) at his
recommendation we decided to try a restaurant nearby that served excellent 1Hokkien
Mee.
1egg
noodles and rice noodles stir-fried with egg, slices of pork, prawns and squid,
and served and garnished with vegetables, small pieces of lard, sambal sauce
and lime
This
restaurant occupies the first lot on the left in a row of eateries called the
Gerai Majlis Daerah Bentong or Gerai MDB for short. Getting here can be a
little tricky since the road next to this row of eateries is unknown or
unnamed. So with the coordinates we provided please use a GPS device or Waze
(the mobile app) to get here.

Once
seated we scanned the menu and settled on a dish of 2Yam Ring with
Kung Pao Squid, Crispy Shredded Chicken in Thai Chilli Sauce and Fried Kailan (Chinese
broccoli).

We
enjoyed our meal immensely, so much so that Brendan and Cat forgot the aches
and pains they endured at the hands of Shīfu earlier this morning. However,
since each dish costs RM20+ each Aik Kee sadly does not serve the everyday food
for the everyday person. Having said that, Aik Kee is now our default go-to
place for dinner whenever we’re in Bentong.
And
the irony is that we came on Vincent’s recommendation to have the Hokkien Mee,
and we ended up having everything but that!
