My friend would share on Facebook/Instagram photos of the Sarawak laksa he would go for at the kueh chap/bak kut teh stall…
…here, the second one after the kampua mee stall (not in the photograph) in front. The third stall was where my missus had the very nice fried kway teow on our previous visit recently.
The lady will only have the Sarawak laksa once a week on Tuesdays and since that was what my missus wanted, I let her have a go at it (RM5.50)…
My friend would always go for the special (RM11.00) and he would get all those innards that one would get in a bowl of kueh chap. My missus did not want that.
The Sarawak laksa was nice…
…that much we would say, not quite like the celebrated ones in Kuching, and in our opinion, nowhere near our favourite here.
Since my missus was having that, I went back to the stall where I had the Taiwan sausage that day. It turned out that I made a mistake in the post – I said that the sausage was just RM1.00 but I saw that it was actually RM4.50 each! I’ve since edited the price in the aforementioned post. The ngor hiang or what they call mini wu xiang on their menu on display were selling for RM1.00 each but they did not look all that enticing so I did not want to order any to try.
This time around, I asked for their sour duck rice (RM7.00)…
– the traditional Cantonese delight and yes, it was very good and if I am not wrong, there was minced salted vegetable or chao chai (preserved vegetable) in it…
…and that helped enhance the taste a great deal. I would say I enjoyed it a lot more than the black vinegar pork leg rice from this same stall that I had before and I wouldn’t mind going for it again if I happen to drop by here some other day.
