Walk on by…

Well, actually, I didn’t walk on by…

You see, that morning, I was in the vicinity of the shops in the Rejang Park commercial centre, quite undecided as to what I would like to have for breakfast. Nothing seemed to interest me at all until I was walking past this place…

…on the ground floor of the complex where the now-closed cinema is. Don’t ask me why it is called a refreshment room and not a coffee shop or at least, a refreshment shop for I really do not know.

Now, what happened was that I noticed that everyone was eating the char kway teow (fried flat rice noodles)…

…and they seemed to be enjoying it including one elderly woman who was gingerly picking out all the pieces of meat and eating everything else in the dish. She probably had no teeth and could not chew anything too hard for the likes of her.

In the end, I decided to give it a try myself so I ordered a plate of the same from the stall there…

Well, I must say that it was very well-done. It should be pretty obvious from the burnt bits of the kway teow that it would have that much coveted wok hei fragrance that many love a lot…

…and at RM3.00 a plate, it was worth having that for breakfast though if I were to cook that myself, I would probably add more bean sprouts…lots of chili and perhaps, prawns and cockles as well but then again, I am sure I would need to spend a lot more if I would want to have it my way…
