That morning, my missus and I dropped by here…
…for breakfast. I liked how the place seemed so very clean and how the people there were all so nice and friendly. It sure makes one’s day to see smiling faces and hearing sweet and polite thank you’s, something that some people at a few places here would need to learn and emulate.
The coffee (RM1.60)…
…was good and in the fridge, they had all kinds of own-made fruit and Chinese cooling drinks and I could not resist buying the red bean and mung bean sago…
…and the pumpkin sago…
…and also the dragon fruit sago…
…home to try. Initially, I was not so keen on the latter because of the colour – it reminded me of air bandong – but I saw a young lady buying and taking away lots of that so I guess it must be good.
My missus had the fried kway teow (RM4.00)…
…from the stall at the back and I think there is a chicken rice and roast meat stall in the middle but it was not open when we were there.
I ordered the kampua special (RM5.50)…
…from the first stall…
…as I liked what it looked like in the photograph.
I put some of the added ingredients into the complimentary soup…
…and I don’t know if it was actually very nice originally or whether that brought the taste to a whole new level – it certainly was very nice and I enjoyed it. I think the lady at the stall saw me doing that and told the guy and they were looking at me, smiling away, looking somewhat amused. Next time, I would ask for a bigger bowl…and I would ask them to leave out the fish balls and give me more liver or minced meat instead…
…and I wouldn’t mind if I do not get any tofu either but I am fine with it.
Yes, that was very nice and I sure would not mind going back there again for more.
