Left & right…

I drove past this coffee shop the other day and I noticed that there was a new stall in front. So I decided to stop by to check it out. It turned out to be a Malay stall selling the usual stuff – nasi lemak, mee goreng, bakso…and even halal kampua noodles.

The Chinese stall where I had the kampua noodles that I thought were not really that great was still there – in the middle with this new stall to the left/in front and to the right/at the back, I spotted a familiar face – the old lady who was originally in this coffee shop long ago and then she moved to the one across the road and now she had come back to this one. If it’s of any interest to anybody, the one across the road, Peter’s Cafe, has closed down or moved elsewhere…and so has Courts Mammoth which used to be right next door.

That morning, I ordered the lady’s mee goreng istemewa (fried noodles special)…

…which came with a fried egg…

…and some masak hitam beef…

Well, it was still as nice as ever and the best part was that it was only RM3.50 a plate.

We have to pay RM3.00 at least for the Foochow fried noodles at the Chinese stalls/shops and most  of the time, all we would get would be some tiny bits of meat and spinach. Based on that consideration alone, I, for one, would prefer to come by this shop and enjoy this instead…for just  50 sen more. What about you?
