Looking good…

They shared a photo of it on Facebook and it sure looked good to me so I made up my mind that I would have to drop by the place to give it a try. I finally got down to doing that when my young teacher/blogger friend, ah^kam_koko’, was in town for the weekend and we went out for breakfast that Saturday morning.

Of course, when we got there, I knew exactly what I wanted and wasted no time at all in placing my order for their savoury pancakes with bacon (RM13.80)…

…and I would say that it tasted absolutely great – definitely very much nicer than the ones that I had here! The pancakes were very soft and fluffy and with the sprinkling of icing sugar (or at least, I think that was what it was) and maple syrup and spreading the butter on top (they say it’s Golden Churn, no less), I would give it the thumbs up, no reservations whatsoever…

Of course it is by no means cheap…but bacon is not very affordable here – just a few pieces will cost an arm or a leg, way over RM10.00.

ah^kam_koko’ had their Cantonese yee mee (RM9.80)…

…which he said was all right but a bit too salty. I, for one, was somewhat disappointed when it was served as I would think that normally, there would be more egg in the egg gravy in Cantonese fried noodles.

I wanted to order the nyonya chicken lor mai kai that we had the first time we were there to check the place out when they first opened for business but I simply could not find it on the menu. Perhaps they’re not making that anymore…so I ordered their sio bee (meat dumplings), steamed, that I had had before and thought they were really very good…

…instead. They’re still priced at RM5.00 for a set of six…

…which is a good thing unlike some places around here – just blink your eyes for a moment and the prices have gone up! Tsk! Tsk!

I wasn’t too happy about the chipped plate that they used to serve the sio bee in and I simply had to complain about that – they said that their order for new crockery would be delivered the following week so hopefully, the next time I drop by, I would not see any such unsightly ones again…and if I do see any like that, I think I would just drop it on the floor, accidentally on purpose, and break it…just to make sure they would not be able to use it again.

Well, ah^kam_koko’ thought the sio bee was very good too and on the whole, I certainly had a delightful breakfast…despite the chipped plate.
