She’s not impressed…

This place has been around for many years and it used to be very popular but not anymore. It used to be so very crowded  that at one time, it was difficult to get a seat there but not anymore. I used to love what they served there and my daughter loved the noodles but in my case, not anymore…

My missus and I stopped by for lunch after the church service last Sunday and I didn’t realise that she had never been there before. My daughter and I had eaten here a few times before – I guess that would be during those days when the mother was working and the two of us were left to our own devices and had to look for our own lunch.

I had the bak kut teh – I can’t remember exactly but this was RM6.00, I think it was, with a few chunks of bone swimming in the soup…

…and rice was served separately at RM2.50 a bowl. If I wanted yeu char koi or yeu tiaw, it would be another RM2.50 for a little bowl of that.

My missus had the dry version of the bak kut teh (which used to cost RM8.00, can’t remember how much it is now)…

…and not only did I have to fork out the money for the rice but for the soup to go with it, that was another RM2.50. Tsk! Tsk!

So what was my missus’ impression – seeing that this was her first time at that place?  Well, she wasn’t in the least impressed, unfortunately – as a matter of fact, she thought what we had here was so much nicer…and a lot cheaper too!

For one thing, I must say that everything looks a whole lot nicer in the pictures…

…and it seems that now, they sell zhao chai hung ngang too – RM4.50 for fish and RM6.00 for prawn…and that would be very cheap if one would be getting exactly what they portray in the photographs on the wall but judging from what we had that day, I reckon it would be safer to just go and try one’s luck elsewhere…
