Yesterday, I went looking for the old lady who used to run the Muslim stall at the Happy Garden coffee shop at Sungai Antu here – the one whose mee goreng special and nasi lemak special were among the best around, and I ended up here…
This was in the block behind Courts Mammoth (back to back) in the same one as Mr Bean, facing the former trans-Sarawak bus station. I noticed from the car that there were some ladies bertudung-tudung, so I thought that might be it. However, when I got there, I could not see the old lady anywhere around, so I reckoned this must be a totally different stall altogether.
But since I was alreay there, I thought I might as well give it a try. Looking at the list of items on their menu, I was beginning to feel a bit apprehensive. It did not look in the least promising and had the same old things that one would get at any other Muslim stall. In the end, I settled for the mee jawa special…
The mee jawa itself was very nice with its very tasty gravy and lots of shredded chicken and half a hard-boiled egg. For the special, I got FIVE whole prawn fritters…
They were whole prawns, not like the ones at the restaurant below Louis J’s office – all batter with a tiny prawn and the tail sticking out at one end, and even the batter was limp and soft. This one was crispy and really delicious.
I think on a scale of 10, I would give this one an 8…because I would love a bigger serving but this much already cost RM4.00. Otherwise, it would get a 10 out of 10. LOL!!!
