  "account": "Sungai Siput's Hai Ying Restaurant has introduced its famous homemade pork meatballs, alongside a bowl of beef brisket soup and yam rice, to Bandar Menjalara, Kepong. Established in 1948 by Liew Foo Kuai, the restaurant has been serving the meatballs with a smooth, supple bite and distinct meaty flavor ever since. Due to the scarcity of fresh pork in the town, Liew would travel 20 kilometers to Kuala Kangsar at midnight to select meat from freshly slaughtered pigs, returning with his wife to prepare the meatballs on-site. Now, the third-generation Liew family has opened an outlet in Kepong, maintaining the same techniques used by the founder. The signature Pork Meat Ball (RM1.60) is made without fillers or preservatives and boasts a bouncy texture and meaty aroma. The beef brisket soup (RM14.90), simmered over a low fire, features beef, pork bones, ginger, sliced tendons, and tripe, complementing the meatballs. Additional dishes include Yong Toufu (RM2.50) and Toufu Puff (RM2.50), both offering a smooth pork filling, and springy egg noodles, char siu, soft curry chicken, and braised chicken feet. Yam Rice (RM4.50) is served in bowls alongside the meatballs and beef brisket soup, providing a unique taste experience.",
