Daging Masak Merah

Daging masak merah brings to mind the busy Malay food court in USJ opposite the apartment block where I used to live. The stalls in the foodcourt all sell the same food so it's a matter of trying each and every stall to find who has the best tasting dishes. The cooks are super-efficient as well, all you need to do is to place your order which is immediately followed by the 'clanking' sounds of the wok and before you know it your dinner is sitting a styrofoam box, all ready!
