On the move…

They had a stall at a shop beside a traffic-light junction along the horribly-congested Lanang Road and my daughter and I did drop by to eat a couple of times but I was never really keen owing to the heavy traffic and the parking problems in the vicinity. Then they opened another stall at this coffee shop in the town centre called Lot 10…and it was even worse where traffic and parking were concerned…so I never did manage to go there to eat. Now, they’ve opened their own shop…

…in the Tunku Osman vicinity (below Kasturi Restaurant and next to the nyonya restaurant in the same block).

A number of people had asked me but it was the sms from a friend (from out of town) asking me if I had gone to try their beef noodles that caught my attention. I told him I had not but I had had them before at their original location. He said that he heard the noodles were really good and of course, after that, I made a beeline to the place to see what the excitement was all about. So there we were early one morning – my missus, my daughter and me.

My daughter had the soup version with the beef and noodles and nothing else…

…while my missus had the special – with the beef tendons (gu kin) and the stomach (gu tor) added…

I had the kampua kosong (without meat)…

…and the gu bak cheng (literally meaning “clear beef soup” – that is the soup without the noodles)…

We all liked what we had…and in fact, my daughter went back there to eat again with my missus a day or two before she left for Sungai Petani.

I would think they were pretty good too but what put me off was the car wash next door – when they started vacuuming  the cars, it got really noisy…and I could not wait to finish eating and get out of the place…and besides, at the end of the day, after one has eaten the ngui chap in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, I don’t think any beef noodles anywhere would ever come close (even though they tell me that they use buffalo meat there) – I wonder when I will ever get the chance to go over and enjoy that again… Sighhhhhh!!!
