Somebody told me that the mee jawa here was very nice so the other morning, I decided to go and give it a try. Unfortunately, it was not available. For reasons unknown, they had decided to take it off the menu.
Well, since I was there, I decided I would just order something for breakfast. The roti canai I had here once was good but I did not feel like it that morning and the mee goreng did not excite me much so I would not want to go for that anymore.
In the end, I ordered their mee pok (flat noodles) with beef…
…but I forgot to tell them I did not want it with dark soy sauce.
I had their kolo mee once…

…with light soy sauce and it was all right so that morning, the whole time when I was having this, I kept thinking about how much nicer my Bovril noodles are in comparison.
Their complimentary beef soup…
…was great, as always, but they gave so little of it and there I was, wishing that they could be just a little bit more generous.
Their mee pok seemed very much smaller, half the width of the regular ones…
…and that got me wondering if they had used their own Malay/Muslim made ones or those dried instant noodles sold in packets at the supermarket. For one thing, I was glad they did not use those commercially-produced fried shallots which usually would have a certain smell that I am not particularly fond of. They use a lot of those at the Malay shops and stalls.
All in all, I would just say it was all right, not anything that would get me going back there for more…and at the price they charge for it, RM5.00 a bowl, I can easily go for two plates of our kampua mee at some places around town.
