I used to drop by this coffee shop…
…a long long time ago when these people were here at the back section before they moved here and then here…and now they are here, just a few doors away, enjoying really brisk business as always. In the meantime, this place looks rather quiet most of the time but it has stayed open all these years and that made me wonder if there was anything of interest that I might enjoy there.
It so happened that very early one morning, I went to the bank round the corner to get some cash via their ATM machine and since I had not had breakfast yet, I decided to stop by for a bowl of kampua noodles (RM3.00)…
…from this stall there…
It was all right, the noodles – nothing sensational but to me, it would be anytime nicer than the one here, now taken over by this guy’s chain of kampua mee stalls though his own place that I blogged about some years ago has since closed down. However, when I tasted the complimentary soup, it was like WOWWWWW!!!!!
They had donq quai in the soup…
…and yes, it was very nice. I loved it so much that a few days later, I took my missus here to try but this time around, I decided to try their liver soup (RM5.00)…
…with dong quai to see if it was any good…and yes, I would say it was but personally, I would prefer it plain as those Chinese herbs were kind of overshadowed by the liver so the taste did not stand out as much as when I had it the first time or maybe that was very much earlier in the morning so the soup was not as diluted as yet, I wouldn’t know.
I had the kampua noodles again…
…but my missus who, like my daughter, is staying away from anything and everything with gluten, went for their kway teow, tossed kampua-style (RM3.00)…
…instead and yes, she did say it was nice.
For the uninitiated, dong quai is good for the body in more ways than one and this website claims that it is an aphrodisiac and is supposed to make me stronger, if you get what I mean. Hehehehehe!!!
