Next to you…

I said I would go back to this place to try their kway teow th’ng (flat rice noodles in soup) but despite it being a Thursday and it was not towards the end of the month either, the stall was closed. I positively remember that the guy said that they only close on Mondays and sometime at the end of the month as well. Tsk! Tsk!

Well, I did not fancy anything from the other stalls so I decided to go to this place…

Uncle Bakery

…just next door, more or less – two doors away from the hotel entrance to the right of the food court. The last time I was here was in 2012 and the sign had started to fade then – now, one can hardly see the name in English anymore, Uncle Bakery.

They do not seem to have an elaborate menu – you can see it on the wall here…

…and here…

…as well.

I did not see Foochow fried noodles (RM4.00)…

…listed anywhere but that was what my missus wanted and that was what she got…

She said it was nice, thankfully – we did not like their kampua noodles that last time we were here.

I remember people were saying at the time that the mee sua was among the best in town and I remember when I had it before, it was very good so I ordered that again (RM6.00)…

…this time around. The price is the same as elsewhere but it seems that you will only get one chunk of chicken here but to be fair, it was a huge chunk, more or less equal to two pieces of the meat in the mee sua elsewhere.

I tried it and to say that I was disappointed would be an understatement. I did not think it was very nice for want of a whole lot of the traditional Foochow red wine, nowhere near what I had here. Then, I spotted it at the table next to ours…

…so I went and grabbed it and added a generous amount to my bowl.

Yes!!! That was all it needed and it…

…sure was very nice after that…and yes, I wouldn’t mind stopping by for this should I happen to be in the vicinity or on days when I feel like having it again.
