Restoran Kah kah Loke@Johor Jaya // 佳佳乐苦瓜汤@Johor Jaya

喜欢吃客家苦瓜汤的人,一定有听说过佳佳乐。
除了顺利苦瓜汤外,佳佳乐在Jb拥有四间分行。
这次与几位新加坡的朋友来吃吃看,并做个比较。

Johor Jaya 这家是旗下店,Jb首家。Flagship store of Kah kah Lok at Johor Jaya

客家炸肉,是必点的。图片里的是大份的味道不俗但是是冷的!The Hakka Fried Meat is a Must
Order, but sad to say, the meat is served COLD.

苦瓜汤, 平淡无奇,感觉汤没熬到入味。The Bitter gourd Soup, tasted bland. 

炒番薯叶,不错sambal,味道很香辣。Stir Fired Potato Leaf, taste good with sambal

炒瘦肉,名称不确定,不过肯定是肉是淋上酱汁便上菜。Stir fired Deer meat but
it looks like just ready mixed gravy pour on top.

肉碎豆腐,普普通通。Nothing special for this Tou fu
整体而言,味道算可以接受,但是出菜速度是快到惊人。
甚至比麦当劳还快,效率极高!但是可惜是,当效率
高,菜色,味道得退一步得以平衡时,还能称为美食吗?
正所谓慢工出细活,有些东西是无法偷功减料的。

I must say this restaurant has the fastest turnover of dishes, I ever tried. Its almost like the Mac of Hakka dish, within less than 10 mins the above dishes are served. I was told by one of my friend, that their franchises uses pre-mixed gravy for all the dishes, and the Hakka meat is bulk fried at certain timing to increase the fast turnover ( that explains why my Hakka meat is served cold).
Personally, I don't really like the idea of pre-mixed gravy, and I'm the type who are prepared to wait a little for good food....but to go to such extend to get fast turnover....is not really my cup of tea.

Food 食物:2.8/5 not much satisfaction
Service 服务:3/5 一句话说快 Fast Fast and fast service..great if u are starving
Price 价钱 : 85+ rm 吃6 人份
Env 环境:2/5
Overall 整体:2.8/5 无法吃出厨师的诚意.... probably my last visit.
