Where you are…

…there I’ll be and that was why when I heard where she was, I made my way there right away!

Those of you who have been following my blog faithfully would probably remember the elusive popiah lady whose popiah I loved so much but one fine day, she just disappeared! My missus met her at a bank once and bought some home but no, it was all soggy and not so nice anymore. One simply has to eat her popiah right there and then on the spot and after all this time, I finally managed to locate where she would be.

Well, if anyone is interested, she’s among the shops behind the Medan Mall, Jalan Wong King Huo – the covered back portion behind the blocks of shops where 100¥ and this fusion cafe are located on one side and this coffee shop on the other side form a cross or an X and the lady’s stall…

…is right in the centre!

However, do take note that it is only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 8.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. so don’t bother looking for her on other days. She did insist that I could phone her to order and she would deliver to my house – of course, I have no intention of doing that. Imagine me ordering two only – I am quite sure she would not bother to send them all the way. Besides, unless they are eaten freshly-made…

…they would not be as nice.

I did not bring along my camera that first time but it did not matter at all as a weekend or two later, we were back there again for these lovelies (RM2.50 each)…

…and yes, they were as good as ever before…

The second time around, we went in from the other side through this coffee shop/food centre…

Don’t ask me why it is thus named – honestly, I simply do not know!

My daughter had the roast chicken rice from one stall there (RM3.50)…

…but at best, it was just o.k. There are nicer ones elsewhere.

My missus had the claypot noodles (RM6.00)…

…and she did not say anything but at least she did not complain so I guess it was fine.

There wasn’t anything really that tickled my fancy and in the end, I just ordered this Hakka mee…

…to give it a try. Sorry for the blurry snapshot – I’m still working on it, how to get better photographs using my new camera…but as a matter of fact, it actually did not look much better than this and was not at all alluring, to say the least, so I was expecting the worst when it was served. Thankfully, my first bite into a spoonful of the noodles proved otherwise. No, it wasn’t anything like the Hakka mee I had in Seremban and I really don’t know how to describe what it tasted like. Let’s just say it was nice. Period.

Well, now that the popiah lady is here, I certainly would be coming back again and again…and when I do, I may want to try some of the many things available all around or I would go for some more of the Hakka mee. I sure wouldn’t mind having that again…
