What you had…

We went back to this coffee shop again last Sunday after the church service in the morning as Melissa wanted what I had on our previous visit – their meat dumpling noodles (RM5.00)…

It sure looked a lot nicer this time around – maybe they were getting a little better at it…or it was a good day. For one thing, she loves those sui jiao or gyoza or whatever they’re called especially those deep-fried or pan-fried ones so of course, she enjoyed this to the max and finished everything down to the last drop.

My missus had the zhao chai hung ngang (RM4.00)…

…from another stall at this shop and it looked pretty good. In case you’ve missed my earlier posts on this, this is actually the big version of the bihun in preserved vegetable soup normally cooked with chicken, fish or even prawns. I did not see any of those in this one though – just some very thinly sliced fish cake so I wouldn’t know exactly whether it was any good or not – my missus did not say anything…but she got herself one big saucer of freshly-cut chili in soy sauce to eat with that so I guess it went down pretty ok with her.

I had the mee goreng special (RM5.00)…

…and it was very nice plus there was that fried chicken drumstick as an added bonus. Actually, I had intended to go for the Sarawak laksa but again, the stall was not open – probably, it is closed on Sundays, I’m not too sure.

Well, since we were here again, I ordered the roti jala (RM2.00) one more time…

As far as I know, this is the only place in town selling this and this time around, the sambal (dip) was very good – we did not like it on that previous occasion when we had that. Melissa loves it and for sure, should we drop by again, I certainly would order the same again for her…and for me.

And talking about Melissa, I was at a shop earlier this week and I spotted this nice-looking bag…

…and I just had to get one for her to put her books, worksheets, teaching aids and what not to bring to school or to class – a bag full of ideas. Neat, eh? It did not come cheap though – RM17.90 for something made of some kind of gunny-like canvas. Hopefully, it is more durable than those recyclable bags that one can get everywhere at most shops and supermarkets these days…and anyway, I don’t spend on much these days, other than on food…and this and that so this is just to pamper my little girl a bit once in a while. Now that she’s working and earning her own money, occasions like this are getting to be few and far between and let’s just say that I do miss doing that. As they say, old habits die hard…
