Same thing all over…

…again, or almost, that is!

We were in the vicinity that day so we dropped by here again for lunch. I did try the kampua mee and the liver soup from the stall here but out of the blue, for reasons unknown, the lady decided to call it quits. The corner was vacant for quite some time until a young guy took over…

All this while, I’ve been wanting to drop by and try but so far, I have not got round to doing that and when I do, one thing’s for sure, I will not be ordering this, No. 22…

…not even if the price had been a lot cheaper, thank you very much!

In the meantime, we had been here a few times because we did enjoy the food from the chu char (cook and fry) stall there very much and because we had to stick to what would be gluten free, we would order the same things all over again, more or less each time we were there.

That day was no exception, of course, and we had the fried or chio/ikan bawal hitam (black pomfret)…

…which I thought was not all that fresh that day but the ladies did not complain and we did finish it completely all the same.

Yes, we had the siew yoke (roast pork)…

…again and the steamed Szechuan vegetable pork leg soup…

…that we found was nicer here than the same thing that we had another place in town and yes, it was very nice as well this time around…

…and my girl particularly enjoyed the soup.

This was something new – we had not had it before…their leek fried with egg…

…and yes, it was very nice. When I ordered that, I had expected it to appear as an omelette dish but I guess the cook did not have that same thing in mind.

The total for all the dishes came up to RM52.00 which I thought was a little on the high side especially since it is just a coffee shop, not a very nice place, not air-conditioned and all and so far, it had always been 40-something, almost 50 and never over…but as long as the food is nice plus the servings here are rather huge and we do enjoy it very much, I guess that is all that matters.
