Do no harm…

Somebody was telling me that the nasi lemak at this stall…

Kong MaMa Malay stall

…located at this coffee shop here was very nice. Of course, I had my doubts but I guess it would do no harm to just stop by and give it a try.

I’ve eaten here before, just that I cannot remember what I had but I do recall Philip, my friend in the US, telling me that his son loved the nasi goreng (fried rice). I certainly would not want to order that as I know for sure that mine would be nicer. Hehehehehehe!!!!

Well, as expected, the nasi (rice) was not lemak (full of richness of santan/coconut milk) enough for me…

…and I thought the sambal was not all that great either. I’ve had nicer ones elsewhere but then again, I’ve had worse as well.

I ordered the special (RM4.00)…

…which came with some fried chicken but that was about it. On the whole, it was all right – not something I would go out of my way to have but I would not mind having that should I happen to be around there at any time.

My missus ordered something from the stall opposite manned by this handsome young man…

Kong MaMa kampua stall

She tried their kolo mee

…which she said was all right – the noodles were firmer, not overcooked and soggy. As for me, I’ve long given up on having kolo mee here. Though they may  be nice, somehow, the taste is not the same as the good ones that I would go for in Kuching plus they’re usually more expensive and since they taste more or less like kampua mee with all the extras added, I might as well go for the latter.

For one thing, the iced black coffee (RM1.40) here was really very good…

…and it was cheaper than most places in town where the drink was tagged at RM1.50 a glass before…and if I’m not mistaken, it’s already RM1.70 or RM1.80 at some places here.

While I was at this shop that day, I was somewhat tickled by this sign on the wall…

Kong MaMa fresh Belanda

Anybody interested in a Belanda (Dutchman),  a fresh one? They’ve got that here. LOL!!!
