Now that I found you…

I’ve been to this place once…and twice…and three times but I did not think what I had was anything to get me going back there for more but I dropped by again that day in search of the tri-colour kampua noodles. People are sharing snapshots of that on Facebook though I really don’t think it is anything to get excited about. If you’re wondering what that is – it is kampua noodles served in a plate, the white version (with light soy sauce) and the black version (with dark soy sauce) and I think the third one is the flat or mee pok version, a bit of each. I hear there is four as well but I am not sure where they have that.

It so happened that the kampua noodle stall was closed for the day – obviously, they do not open on Mondays but this guy…

…told me that this was not the place I was looking for and I would have to go to a coffee shop in the vicinity of the supermarket but he added that they also have it here. Ah well, no love lost!!! As far as I am concerned, it is just a gimmick, nothing more than that…or something for fickle-minded or indecisive folks who just cannot make up their minds. I just thought I would like to blog about it as some people might be interested, that’s all.

Anyway, since we were already there, we decided to just order something that we have not tried before and I had this (RM6.00)…

…from the aforementioned guy because I saw the stewed eggs (RM1.00 each)…

…and I just could not resist those plus looking at the shape and size of the guy, I was pretty sure that what he was selling would be good and I was right!

For one thing, that was quite a lot of the very nice braised meat…

…with the rice and the sliced cucumber, as well as the complimentary soup…

…even though that was rather bland and nothing to shout about. They usually give you that at the chicken rice places – very very diluted salted vegetable soup with the discarded parts of the chicken such as the neck and the claws and also the innards and it would have tasted quite good had it not been watered down so much at all these places. I would just take to sip to try…and leave all the rest.

Incidentally, I also ordered his ngor hiang/lor bak (RM1.00)…

…to try but no, I did not think it was great – nobody’s can ever come near my missus’. It was probably made using a blender for the meat and whatever else in the filling so it was too fine and smooth plus there probably was flour in it as well, not as much as some I have had elsewhere but it did not feel like it was all meat.

My missus ordered the own-made fish balls and glass noodles (RM5.00)…

…from another stall and one look at the oval-shaped fish balls…

…would tell you they were definitely not those not-so-nice frozen factory-made ones sold at the shops and supermarkets. I probably would enjoy that as well as I like anything in clear soup.

No, we have not tried everything at the food court yet – maybe we have just managed to cover half of the food stalls there…and now that I’ve found one pretty good one, I may go for that again the next time we drop by or go on sampling to see if there is anything else that is good there.
