More than a name on the wall…

No, it is more than just a kitchen…

– this place that is located directly across the road from SMK Deshon, beside the Good Happiness Restaurant (to the right) but I suggest that you come from Jalan Pedada past the Ta Ann Apartments instead of coming through the Sibu Bus Terminal area as the road condition is absolutely horrendous owing the the extremely severe sinking land problem in the vicinity.

I noticed it a few days earlier when we were going to that Italian restaurant further in among the blocks of shops on the right – this one’s the first one on the left…and I made up my mind there and then that I would drop by sometime to give it a try and I did.

It is not one of those regular coffee shops as you can see…

…so you can expect the prices to be a little bit more than usual. I saw on their displays on the wall outside that they have the fish head mihun or hung ngang (the bigger version), the one with the white milky soup but though I have never actually tried it, somehow or other, that has never tickled my fancy and somehow, I just do not feel like I would want to eat that.

Instead, I opted for their Taiwanese beef noodles…

…and it certainly looked impressive, I would say…

…and the thick slices of beef…

…were very nicely done, very tender indeed. Seeing that they were quite generous with it, I would say that it was quite reasonably-priced as the meat does not come cheap around here, not at all.

However, I felt it was a bit salty and the taste of the salted preserved vegetables was a bit too over-powering so much so that it drowned out the fragrance of the beef. I would prefer the latter to be stronger so I would say that I was rather disappointed even though on the whole, it tasted pretty good…and if I were to come again, I would probably want to try some of the other things they have in their little menu instead.

They also have Vietnamese beef noodles which were a bit cheaper – over RM6.00, if I remember correctly, so perhaps I would order that next time to see what the difference is…or perhaps, I would have this instead…

…as I do love black vinegar pork trotters. I wonder what the original price was, probably RM5 but they have increased it by a ringgit in view of the recent hike in the price of pork here.

Well, we’ll see when I will drop by this place again and I’ll update you on any delight that they may have in store, if any.
