Signs…

I’ve read of eateries here and there that do not have a name or a sign so they call themselves Boh Zhao Pai, literally translated as no sign. Well, I was in this part of town that day…

…and I decided to check this place out – Wu Ziao Pai and not only do they have a sign, I thought theirs is very nicely done…

The ladies who were here before enjoyed really brisk business and the customers were literally spilling onto the road and when they moved to their present location, they took all the business along with them.

I did not hear much of what they dish out here but I noticed that most of the time, business was somewhat slow – there were people, but few and far between, Well, it so happened that somebody told me that their Moonlight fried kway teow was nice so I wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately, it was past 11 that day and the cook was busy getting all the dishes for the chap fan (mixed rice) ready for the lunchtime crowd so it was not available.

In the end, we had no choice but to go for what was available and thankfully, what they had all looked very nice. My missus had this tofu…

….and this Szechuan preserved vegetable with minced pork…

…that she loved a lot and enjoyed to the max. She also had cangkuk manis and for the three items, the total came up to RM4.00.

These were my picks that day and I only had to fork out RM5.00 for what I had…

…and I just could not resist the dabai, our local black olives…

They’re much cheaper now than when the season started but these were  kinda wrinkled and not that great, just all right.

This asam fish…

…came out after we had finished eating and it sure looked good. I would love to give it a try but I was already full so I guess this would have to wait till another time perhaps when we happen to drop by that part of town again.
