Still good…

We had not been here…

…for quite sometime now – no particular reason, just that it is a little out of our regular daily routine routes and we did not feel like going out of our way for anything there. Noticed how they’ve painted over the images of the sponsors on their shop sign? It seems that the municipal council here will charge shops for signs that advertise something but not if it is just a plain, straightforward shop sign.

For me, the main attraction here would be their Sarawak laksa…

…RM5.50 for the regular and RM7.00 for the large. Yes, it was my favourite in town, a lot more like the original/authentic ones in Kuching and I was glad to find that it was still as good as before and the sambal belacan (dried prawn paste dip) and the lime…

…that came with it sure helped enhance the taste a good deal.

I don’t recall it being this expensive though but then again, what has not increased in price these days? It is RM5.00 (or is it RM6.00?) for this one here that I like very much too but there, you will only get three prawns. In this L-sized one (and I do think it is a bigger bowl as well), I got four…

My missus had the kampua noodles with pork (RM3.20)…

…which is more expensive than at the regular stalls in the coffee shops around town but the serving was huge (a lot more noodles) and she could not finish all of it. Otherwise, she said, it was all right.

They also have an outlet, not a very big one, at a mall here and that one does not serve pork so you may be able to get their Sarawak laksa and some other things but you will not get the kampua noodles and the rest that you can find here. For one thing, that place is air-conditioned so it may be a better pick in the very hot weather that we are experiencing right now.

I don’t think there is any connection between this one and the Thomson Corner at Nanas Road in Kuching. This one started off at the ground floor of the Catholic Centre, beside the Sacred Heart Cathedral and when I used to go and wait for my girl, who was in the St Rita’s Primary School next to it, I would drop by for a drink and I would always go for their red bean shake (RM4.00)…

…that I enjoyed a lot. I had it again that day and yes, it was still good.

I don’t know if it was because we went at around 11, past the mid-morning tea break and too early for lunch, so it was not very crowded. Yes, there were some people, quite a number, but no, business did not seem to be as busy as it was in the past. Whatever it is, since they do have some very delightful stuff to offer here, I do hope that they do well enough to keep them going…
