Guest people

The Hakka are the Han people who moved from North China to the hills and mountains of the South over a long historic period from the Qin (221-206 BC) to the Song (960-1279) dynasties. They are not an ethnic minority either.

Self-identified as Hakka, or guest people, these Han immigrants have retained much of their ancestors' lifestyle and culture. Further, these people have absorbed the best of the cultures of other ethnic groups. This tradition is reflected in Hakka food, which emphasizes original flavours and nutritional value rather than a brilliant appearance. It lures customers with its solid material.

Hakka Rang at Kota Damansara has varied choices on the menu and luscious flavour have brought many patrons, from around the PJ, Tropicana, Kota Damansara area, back for more during lunchtime. Over the past months, we have been here a few times ourselves and the place is always packed. The prices are affordable.

Everytime I am here, the Hakka styled pork with black fungus is a must! Matching the fantastic aroma, the pork here is 'melt in your mouth' succulent and rich in flavour. RM13.80 for a hearty dish, made with tender loving care - not bad!

Several Hakka style soups stewed for hours with Chinese herbs are supposed to have different health benefits and taste good as well! We tried the raddish soup- it was goooood.. not only that.. it was on the house!

Now this dish i LOVED. This is the stir fried bitter gourd with salted egg. At RM10.80, this has a robust and rich egg taste, but a subtle bitterness to it. The salted egg, counter-acting the bitter in the gourd was just an amazing compliment.

The crispy pork with fermented bean curd noodle cost RM6.50 and was of a decent size for the money.

Hakka people are good at making tofu dishes, since tofu for quite a long time was the main source of their protein. At Hakka Rang, they have this signature Tofu dish which has water-chestnuts in it besides fish. This makes the dish thoroughly crunchy and tasty.
You have to ask for this, as it is not on the menu.

We love this place we do! It is situated facing the main-road, next to the Yong Tau Foo shop, in Kota Damansara .

Highly recommended:)
