Here before…

I was here at Paramount Garden in PJ (Petaling Jaya) before in 2009…

…when peteformation took me there for breakfast. I finally got to meet Simple Person in person when he came to see me last Saturday morning and he took me to this very same place. I did not know he was going to take me there or else I would have suggested some other alternative, not that the food here isn’t good – in fact, everything is very nice but I would prefer trying some place else for a change. Anyway, since we were already there, I reckoned I could try some of the other stuff that I did not get the chance to sample on my previous visit.

SP, short for Simple Person, insisted that I tried their prawn mee and lor mee combo…

…which was a combination of the two, from this stall…

I tried a bit and I thought it tasted like prawn mee but actually, they served the two side by side in a bowl and to eat it, one would have to mix it all together before eating and I did not know that. The lor mee part was something like the Hailam lor mee I had here and not really like the usual lor mee that we can get at some places in town.

Even after I had done that, I thought they had mihun only in it…

…but actually they had some yellow noodles as well…

I guess I did not mix everything thoroughly enough so I tossed it some more and then, went on eating. Was it any good? I would say with no reservations whatsoever that it was and I would not mind having that again…and again.

SP had the curry mee…

…but I would not know how it tasted as he never asked me to sample a bit from his bowl. Hehehehehehe!!!!

He also ordered some popiah which I already had the last time I was there…

…simply because I would love to have that since we cannot get any decent ones in Sibu unless we make our own at home. He wanted to get me the chee cheong fun, Penang style…with prawn paste but I did not want that. I had it before not just here but also in Penang and I am not too crazy about the combination – it is pretty nice really, just that I would prefer trying something else.

Then off he went again and this time, he came back with this yong tofu…

I loved some of the stuff they had in it but I was so very full already and had to force myself to go on.

And as if that was not enough, he took me to this mobile stall…

…not too far away from where we were…

…and we had the cendol…

Well, any cendol anywhere is better than what we can get in Sibu – I have yet to find one that is really very nice here. He also bought some nyonya kuihs and insisted that I tried but I was already filled to the brim by then. We just shared a piece of the green and white kuih talam which was very nice but unfortunately, that was all I could manage.

Thanks so very much, SP, for the lovely “breakfast”. It certainly was a pleasure meeting you in the flesh…and thanks also for the heong peah (extreme left)…

– it was so very thoughtful of you to bring me a little something. (Smallkucing went to Marks & Spencer @ Paradigm Mall – without me! Tsk! Tsk! – and got me the rest of the things that you can see in that photograph.)

I certainly look forward to seeing you again sometime – perhaps you can hop over to Sibu in the near future and it will be my turn then to treat you to the best that we have in town. Rest assured that you will not regret it for we do have a lot of goodies in store, we most certainly do!
