Hainanese Chicken Lunch, courtesy of Aunty KK. Aunty was sad that all week Uncle had been sampling much sub-par HCR, she packed her version of KK Eats for Uncle to tapau. Granted take-outs suffer a drop in freshness and quality in transit, the Chicken Rice ticks all the right boxes. Uncle enjoyed it. Certainly better than the Maggi Mee he was going to have. #hainanesechickenrice #kkmalaysia #manukauroad #epsom #tapau #fridayllunch (at KK malaysia cuisine) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3dZ3U0J8pk/?igshid=96qawqs25as

So you and the car behind reverse on a very busy road to make way for a turning car to the gas station. He and his 4-wheel drive sneak through without looking at you, nor give acknowledgement. Feckin eeijit. That was after a very late lunch of a very enjoyable Hainanese Chicken Rice from KK Malaysia. Thank you Aunty KK for the treat. #hainanesechickenrice #kkmalaysiancuisine #manukauroad #epsom (at KK malaysia cuisine) https://www.instagram.com/p/By9dPGHJ-Gn/?igshid=k8k8dbz12fny

After tennis lunch. Aunty KK treated Uncle to her Hainanese Chicken Rice when he called in after tennis. KK do one of the better HCR in town, a no-nonsense poached chicken with a chilli ginger dip that zaps up the (boneless) chicken and resplendent rice cooked in chicken stock, ginger & garlic.

The late Anthony Bourdain single-handedly put Sarawak Laksa on the world culinary map. He featured Sarawak Laksa twice on his food TV shows, visiting Choon Hui Kopitiam (on Jalan Ban Hock, Kuching) for the first time in 2005 to film for Travel Channel’s “No Reservations” and again in May 2015 for CNN’s “Parts Unknown”. Mamak Takapuna put Sarawak Laksa on its menu a year & half ago. Now, you can order Sarawak Laksa at KK Malaysia, Epsom as one of Jacky Lam’s chefs, Yew Veng Lee hails from Limbang, Sarawak. This Laksa is completely different from the usual Curry Laksa or Assam Laksa. The laksa paste (rempah) is imported from Sarawak, made from powdered spices (5-spice, cardamom & star anise being the most dominant); the noodle is beehoon (rice vermicelli) and egg omelette (cut into strips) as one of the toppings. Prawns feature prominently, the stock being cooked from prawn shells. Unlike Curry Laksa, the gravy is less “lemak” (coconut creamy), allowing the spices to come through. Give Sarawak Laksa a go when you’re next at KK Malaysia. #sarawaklaksa #kkmalaysia #manukauroad #epsomauckland #newonmenu #instasarawaklaksa (at KK malaysia cuisine)

Aunty KK's Special Vegetarian Noodle Soup. Made as only Aunty knows know, a special treat for Queen's Birthday Weekend. All the vegetables have been quickly stir fried, together with the tofu, and all manner of vegetarian goodies, the noodles likewise and then quickly introduced into a substantial mushroom stock. Absolutely delicious. #vegetariannoodlesoup #auntyspecial #vegetarian #flavoursome #searedvegetables #searednoodles #wintersoup #kkmalaysiancuisine #manukauroad (at KK malaysia cuisine)
