In the neighbourhood…

It so happened that I was in the neighbourhood so I decided to stop by this shop…

…again to give it another shot.

The last time I was here, I thought the roti canai was very good but the stuff from the Malay stall there was not that great and definitely not something that I would want to go and eat again.

I thought most of the stalls would be closed, it being the puasa (fasting) month right now but to my surprise, they were all open. Well, I did not order anything from them this time around as I had already made up my mind to try the chui-char (cook-fry) place at the back of the coffee shop.

My missus had the fried mihun (rice vermicelli) with cangkuk manis (RM4.00)…

…which was quite good but there did not seem to be a lot of ingredients other than the vegetable, egg and bits of meat so minute that they were hardly visible. Thus, I would think that RM4.00 is a little bit too much to charge for that. I tried a bit and personally, I think I prefer the one here which had some of those canned clams in soy sauce that we usually use to fry mihun at home…and that one was only RM3.00 a plate though I wouldn’t know if they have jacked up the price since then as in the case of most things around here lately.

I ordered the fried kway teow (flat rice noodles) with cockles (RM4.50)…

…which was even more expensive but thankfully, it was very nice – perhaps nicer than what used to my favourite here – but the next time I order this, I must remember to ask them to leave out the kuchai (chives) as I do not fancy the smell/taste and it can be quite a chore picking the strips out of the dish and placing them by the side of the plate. The cockles were big and fresh, no complaint about those…and as a whole, it was definitely something that I would not mind ordering again the next time I drop by that same coffee shop.
