I’ve been here…

…a number of times before and I’ve tried these meat dumpling noodles…

…from this particular stall…

…run by some very young people. It was good – my daughter loved it and to me, it was fine – just that I am not all that crazy about those dumplings.
It so happened that the guy (the one in black) was my sister’s student and he told her that he had graduated but he chose to go into this line instead of getting a job with whatever degree he’s holding…and he actually went and worked some place in KL to learn to cook the things he’s selling now.
Then, the other day, a young blogger-friend of mine shared a photo of his beef noodles on Facebook – it turned out that he’s the guy’s cousin and he was praising his noodles and asking everyone to go and try. Ok, if you said so, I would just take your word for it…so when I was out for breakfast again with my friend, Philip, home from the US, I made it a point to drop by this particular place for that (RM6.00)…
Yes, it was very nice. I loved the thick beef flavour in the broth/soup and I enjoyed it a lot which, I guess, was pretty obvious…
…seeing that I finished it all to the last drop. Hehehehehehe!!!!!
It did look kind of oily in the photograph but in actual fact, it was all right…and for one thing, it was a whole lot nicer and very much cheaper than what I had here. Philip tried a bit and he too said it was nice…but he did not have that. After all those months in the US, whenever he’s back home, he would want as much of this…
…as possible. This is something like the heart and soul of every Sibuian and when they’re out of the country, they would long and crave for it and the moment they get home, that would be what they would go for again…and again…and again. I’ve had the one here a few times before and I thought it was good, something more to the original authentic kampua noodles that we used to enjoy when we were growing up, and yes, Philip enjoyed it.
I also ordered the roti jala (RM2.00)…
…for a change from the roti canai that he would usually go for but I thought the dip was not that great that morning. It wasn’t so good either the first time we had it but the second time we ordered that, it was very nice. I do wish they would pay more attention to such things and have better quality control of what they serve.
I would say they have some good stuff around here and if you’re looking for some place for a bite to eat, this is one that you can check out.
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
