And some sauces to go with it. On the left is hainanese chilly sauce while on the right is onion with soy sauce, hakka style.

At night we went to FGS Dong Zen temple in Jenjarom, Kuala Langat, Selangor for their lantern and flora festival. It was the first day and the lotus was not even 'blossomed' yet, to reveal the sitting buddha inside. Officials were seen busy with the opening ceremony of the Lotus Pagoda.

If you planned to go to the FGS Dong Zen CNY lantern and flora festival, remember, parking is free there. There's a huge parking space just next to the temple (on the left of the temple). Ignore those thugs that seems to direct you to their parking space, and then charged you RM5. These thugs were trying to make a quick buck and were trying to block traffic leading to temple. While we were there, 2 groups tried to block our car, and I simply ignore them. Follow the RELA officials and they will direct you to their free car parks. I even made a complaint to the RELA official, and when we left, we saw the police taking the thugs for a little 'talk'. hehehe...

For CNY, we went to Sitiawan and Taiping, but that's another entry.
