She wants…

That day, my girl said that she felt like having porridge for lunch so we drove to this shop in Sg Merah but it was sold out. That was why we had to go some place else and ended up here…

…in the block of shops on your left (2.312981,111.847242) as soon as you turn into Jalan Gambir from Jalan Pedada.

The kampua noodles here used to be really very good with a touch of fried garlic added but the guy is no longer doing it, it seems. He is still around though and is currently handling the drinks in that coffee shop while his kampua noodle stall has been taken over by somebody else…

– the guy here though I would not say that I liked his very much even though I notice that he has taken over quite a few of the kampua noodle stalls in town.

We come here quite often as the roast meat stall is one of our favourite in town and we do frequent this stall…

…time and again too.

In the end, my girl got her meat porridge…

…after all but she did not want any century egg to go with it – I would love that very much. Anyway, there was one poached egg inside that bowl so I guess that was enough for her.

I decided to try their hung ngang (big bihun)…

…in the traditional Foochow red wine chicken soup…

…a welcome change from the usual mee sua and yes, it was very good.

My missus ordered the Foochow fried noodles (RM4.00)…

…from the chu-char (cook and fry) place at the back and yes, it was very good plus it was cheap and had a lot of added ingredients. I don’t know how many people have taken over that place now, no less than 3 or 4, if I remember correctly, and none lasted very long. I walked around and I saw somebody having their fried kway teow, wet/with sauce and it looked pretty good too and so were the dishes that some people were having with rice for their lunch that day. Hopefully, we can drop by one day to give those a try as well.

Then, on another day, my girl wanted Sarawak laksa for lunch so we went and had the one (RM5.00)…

…here (2.293632,111.826954). This is one of the most popular, if not THE most popular in town and of course, she enjoyed it.

The mum had the same but I decided to try the beef noodle special (RM8.00)…

…from another stall at that same shop.

It was, at best, quite nice – what it lacked in the beef taste and fragrance in the soup, it made up for it with all the meat, tripe and tendon…

…in the bowl and I sure did enjoy those very much.

The week-long Hari Raya holidays were coming to an end – the very next day, we had to send my girl back to her school as she had extra classes from her Year 6 pupils that afternoon…and school would reopen the very nexy day. That, of course, meant that life would go back to the same old routine and I would not be going around here, there and everywhere eating this and that so much…except when my girl comes home for the weekends and I sure am looking forward to it each passing week.
