Took so long…

I have known for quite sometime now that they sell prawn noodles here…

…but it sure took me so long as somehow or other, I never got down to stopping by to try…or rather, I did once when my friend, Philip, was home from the US last year…or was it the year before? Unfortunately, by the time we got there they were already closing down for the day even though it was just roundabout noon then.

The coffee was good…

…and priced at RM1.50 only, compared to RM1.80 at a number of places in town and they are not even half as nice. It could do with a little less sugar though as I found it a tad too sweet for me.

The prawn noodles…

…were only RM19.00 a plate for the relatively smaller-sized ones compared to RM30.00 and above elsewhere.

Maybe the prawn was a little bit smaller but I reckoned they were big enough and most importantly, they were very fresh, sweet and succulent…

…but the noodles…

…weren’t that exceptionally great. Minus the attraction of that huge crustacean on top, I think I do prefer the Foochow fried noodles at a few other places in town plus if I were to drop by here again for more of the same, I certainly would ask them to cut down on the msg by at least half…and no, I would not say that as a whole, it was a steal. If we deduct RM4.00 for a normal plate of Foochow fried noodles, that would mean that they are charging RM15.00 for that solitary prawn, cut into two.

Well, if anyone is interested in checking this place out, it is in what we call the Apollo area, right across the road from this primary school…

It shouldn’t be difficult to find and yes, it is in that same area of shops where I would go to get the very nice Korean mochi buns.
