Make it soon…

…Soon Hock, that is…

…if you’re looking for some very nice kampua noodles in town. It (2.312181, 111.845824) is located among the shops behind the Delta Mall here, the other side, facing this church…

…and the housing area.

I used to frequent this place…

…a lot and I did blog about it many times and I even brought my West Malaysian blogger-friends who came to town here to enjoy the kampua noodles and the pian sip. At the time, they had a few young Mandarin and Foochow-speaking Indonesian girls helping out and they were really good at it. Those left and a new batch took over but I did not like the noodles anymore then and I never came back. I guess business must have dwindled so they got rid of those girls and now the lady boss…

…and the hubby would do it themselves. I hear the Iban ladies helping out with the serving may do the cooking sometimes and they can do it very well too.

This is one place that commences early in the morning and opens the whole day till night…

…except Tuesdays. Many would close around noon, some earlier once the noodles run out and may reopen at night but their noodles would not be available all afternoon.

The kopi-o-peng (iced black coffee)…

…here is all right and their pian sip, dry…

…is my girl’s favourite in town. Actually, I wanted the soup but got this instead – I guess I did not specify it clearly so it was my fault. However, I thought it was a tad too oily that morning so I had to drop them into the complimentary bowl of soup…

…to rinse off the oil and eat. I guess I would have to remember to ask them to cut down on the oil next time or just stick to the soup version, my missus’ favourite in town and ever so often, she would tapao home to enjoy.

The kampua noodles, “white” (with light soy sauce)…

…was very good – I certainly would rank it among the best in town and my missus, of course, asked for the same tossed in chili sauce…

…and she too sang its praises.

Needless to say, now that the quality is as good as before, especially when this coffee shop is just round the corner from my house, we would definitely be dropping by again and again, be it to eat there or to buy home.
