We stopped by here…
…at the junction of this road and its adjacent lane…
…after the church service on Sunday morning because my girl wanted the porridge (RM4.00)…
…which I would say is my favourite in town. Yes, she did try it before and it was very much to her liking as well except that she would not touch the three bits of intestines…
…and the two thin slices of liver in the porridge so of course, I helped myself to those.
I had their kampua mee (RM3.00)…
…that my cousins liked a lot when they were in town. I would agree it was nice but there are some elsewhere that I feel have an edge over the one here.
I also ordered their mixed soup or what they call chap chap th’ng (RM5.00) but I forgot to take a photograph of it. Somehow, it just slipped my mind at the time but there were liver, intestines, minced meat and tofu puffs plus some of the curly green vegetables in the lovely clear soup that my girl enjoyed very much as well. Of course, other than one slice of the tofu puffs, she left everything in the soup to me – she is not a very big eater but even so, she did finish her bowl of porridge.
The mum ordered the Foochow fried noodles (RM4.00)…
…from the chu char (cook & fry) place at the back of the coffee shop but she did not think it was all that great, no wok hei fragrance. She loved the fried kway teow from the Muslim stall at this coffee shop – I don’t know why she did not order that. Maybe she couldn’t remember as just like me, age is catching up with her as well and her memory isn’t all that good anymore.
Needless to say, I had their to-die-for coffee but for reasons unknown, it wasn’t anything to get excited about that morning. I didn’t see the boss around so perhaps that was why – it seems that he is the only one here who can come out with the perfect brew.
