Well, yesterday (Sunday), I decided to go back to MAS Corner at the Kampung Datu shops. It is actually in the same block of shophouses as Ba Sen Bak Kut Teh which is at the corner in front facing the main road and MAS Corner is at the other end facing the river.
Once, it was reputed to have the best Sarawak laksa in town, but I have not gone there for a long time because I did not like the menopausal seller who would bark at you, should you repeat your order thinking that he did not hear you the first time! It seems that there is a lady there now, so I’m not too sure whether it is the same people doing it or not. Probably he had enlisted his wife to give him a hand. I did not feel like having any, so only my missus had this bowl of laksa special for RM5.00…
Tastewise, the one at Thomson Corner here is a wee bit better but as far as the condiments go, this one wins hands down! Just look at those huge prawns…and there were so many of them too! I have not been there for quite sometime but I think the one at Thomson Corner is a bit cheaper.
I decided to try the Foochow fried noodles (with gravy) from the restaurant at the back. I understand it is famous for its drunken prawns and has its fair share of customers in the evening. Well, the noodles I had were pretty nice…
…despite that horrendous pink colour of the plate used. Eyew…!!! LOL!!! For one thing, I noticed that instead of the usual sawi (vegetables), they used kangkong instead but it did not really matter as I did not think it made any difference.
As we were leaving, I heard some people ordering noodles fried with sambal and other than that, when I was ordering the laksa, I noticed on the sign that they also sell kampua with belacan. I wonder what they would taste like…so I guess I will have to go back there again one of these days to give them a try. I wonder if Gundot’s hubby has eaten those? After all, his office is just around the corner….
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
