Jewel in the rough.

These days we try to take the New Port Mann bridge as little as possible ($1.12 is cheap, but does add up) and search for places across the horrid (but free), Patullo bridge.

A few months ago Debbie discovered a tasty Malaysian restaurant in of all places, New West!

It's called the Tamarind Hill on 6th Ave (just for future personal reference meter parking in New West ends at 6pm not 10pm, Doh!).

We start out with the Roti Canai, which is pretty good, and easily the best deal for we've seen (You get eight large slices with sauce) for only $6, and some tasty Satay (five pieces for $6)

Of course I forget to take a photo...Double Doh!

We've been here a couple of times, and we always go back for the Haianese Chicken $15. It's completely boneless, served warm, with plently for sweet soy, ginger onion oil, and spicy sauce. Delish!

People who know me, know that I hate ice cold chicken... I just don't get it. Why people like it served ice cold with the jellied fat, cold skin, and flavourless meat I'll never understand...<cringe>.  But when served warm it is a frick'n epiphany!

OK rant over.

We also order the Spicy fried pork chops, which were equal to any good Chinese restaurant, so its safe to order (though a little pricey at $15).

I also recommend the ginger soy Sablefish that I had at a previous meal (not pictured, but will order again next time). All main dishes are served with choice of flavoured rice.

We love this place

It's Western and Chinese friendly, so don't be afraid to venture out here.

Until the next meal!
