Grain Asian Cafe
Taro Cake
Preserved duck egg and lean pork congee
Lotus wrapped chicken and glutinous rice
Upon the arrival of some of my relatives from Malaysia, we wanted to take them to a quick lite meal to warm their stomachs to the heavy eating that would soon come :). Off to Grain Asian Café in the Box Hill shopping plaza. The plaza itself is quite interesting with the different vendors for veggies, meats, fish, grain goods, and the cafeteria. Really enjoyed the congee per its flavor and especially with the temperatures being of 4 Celsius / 40 Fahrenheit; really hit the spot!
