So I’ve been told…

When I was grumbling about the kolo mee I had the other day, an ex-student told me via Facebook about this place…

…among the shops at the beginning of Jalan Kampong Datu near the Land & Survey building here. He said the the noodles there were very nice – definitely not like kampua nor like Kuching kolo mee as we would know it but it was nice.

So I dropped by the place to check it out. There was a nice old couple running the coffee shop and the noodle stall and even though it was quite early in the morning, there were a few customers already having their breakfast at that shop.

There were no signs, no menu…nothing but I noticed that everyone was having kampua noodles. Then I saw some minced meat at the stall and I asked the old man what that was for and he said kolo mee. So kolo mee it was and this was what I got for RM3.30 a bowl…

I tasted it and it certainly was as what I had been told – not like kampua, not like kolo mee but it was nice. I added a little bit of chili sauce…

…and that did make it taste even better. I tapaoed two packets for my parents and sis as I was going to their house right after that for my daily routine of babysitting my bedridden mum and they all said it was good.

Well, thanks, Philip (not the guitar man…even though this Philip also plays the guitar), for the information. Any other nice place in town where I should drop by and give it a try?
