Been around…

Yes, they’ve been around a lot of places. A long long time ago, the couple used to be here and my girl enjoyed what they dished out so we would go there quite frequently and then one fine day, for reasons unknown, they moved away and we did not like the one who took over the stall so we never went back there again. In the meantime, I did hear of them moving here, there and everywhere and maybe, I did catch up with them and got to eat what they dished out once or twice but I cannot remember exactly where or when.

Anyway, we were here for the beef noodles that day when I noticed a lot of people having char kway teow so I walked over to the stall…

…to have a look and lo and behold! It was that same couple. So they were presently at this food court but we had had our brunch already that day so we did not order anything from them. The next time we went there, they were closed so we adjourned some place else instead. I saw on Facebook that my friend, Annie, had the kway teow when she was back in Sibu that day and she said it was nice.

We did manage to get to eat the sambal kway teow (RM5.00)…

…finally when we went there the third time.

Yes, it was nice with quite a lot of prawns and egg and lap cheong (Chinese sausage)…

…too but I think I like the one here better despite there being less ingredients in it for RM4.00. However, that one’s a different recipe and for me, if it is sambal kway teow, my favourite in town would be the one here, right next door to this shop…but everything would be sold out before 10.00 a.m. and that lady would just call it a day. I think she’s still around doing what she does best but I have not gone there for a while now as I do not usually venture out that early.

I also ordered something to try from this stall…

…at that food court – their chicken soup mee sua (RM6.00)…

It was all right, quite nice but no, it wasn’t what I would enjoy a lot – the one with our traditional Foochow red wine. I may want to try some of the other things the guy has to offer the next time I drop by here like his tom yam selections, perhaps but if it is mee sua that I want, I would much sooner go elsewhere.

Unlike when this food court first opened, there are some fairly good stuff here now…and I do mean fairly. Personally, I have yet to come across something here that would keep me coming back again and again for more.
