They said…

We dropped by here not too long ago when my friend, Annie, was home from KL and she and her family wanted to drop by for a bite to eat as they enjoyed some of the stuff that they served at the shop.

My girl and the mum had the fried pek koi (white rice cakes), moist…

*Archive photo*

…but they said that the dry version would be nicer. That was why that day, my girl suggested going back there to try (RM4.50)…

…and yes, it was very nice but she felt that both were equally nice so much would depend on the mood of a person, whether he wants it a little moist or he would like it dry.

They told us that the fried rice with ikan bilis/dried anchovies, (RM4.00)…

…was very nice too. Fried rice? My fried rice is very good as well. Hehehehehe!!!!

Well, I decided to order that to see…and yes, it was very strong on that much coveted wok hei fragrance, something that they say would need a really big and hot fire to get it like that so that would be something I would not be able to replicate at home on my gas cooker stove. However, I am not fan of those frozen peas – I do not mind the carrot and the sweet corn but the peas tend to be on the hard side no matter how long one cooks it. Thankfully, the ones in that plate of fried rice was quite all right, not all that hard.

I am not all that fond of the small and thin ikan bilis with the beady eyes…

…either but for RM4.00 a plate, I can’t jolly well expect them to use the ones I use at home, heads and insides removed. I think they’re RM30.00-40.00 a kg now, the ones from Langkawi, and the ones that are already done for you can set you back by as high as RM80.00 a kg. Sighhhhh!!!!

My missus opted for their mee mamak (RM4.00)…

…and yes, she loved it a lot! Very nice, very spicy!

My girl tried and she liked it a lot too. She thought it…

…was very much nicer than the fried pek koi that she had, moist or dry.

The Foochow fried noodles, wet, that I had on our previous visit was very good too…so this was not the first nor would it be the last time we’d come here. We definitely would be making our way back here time and time again for some of these delightful stuff that they have in store.
