You can try this "Lui Char" in some restaurant in Kulai, Johor for about
RM2.00 a dish. I tried it in a Kopitiam along the Kulai main road.
I am a Ho Poh Hakka from Kuching, and my grandparent used to made it, I
especially like to drink the juice made from "Khoo Net Sim" the bitter 
leaves with thorns.
