By night…

This is a chicken rice place by day, probably the most popular in town – it occupies the whole of the right section whilst on the left, there are a selection of stalls selling kampua noodles, kueh chap and so on and they will stay open till past lunchtime, around 2.00 p.m.

By night, however, for sometime now these days, some other people will run the show. When they first started, there was a promotion – RM25.00 for their curry fish head dish and we did drop by then. However, it was a very hot evening and in the end, we decided to go some place else and we never went back again.

The other night, it was raining and was very nice and cool so we decided to go and have a look. The curry fish head probably came from the chu-char (cook & fry) place at the back and a lot of people were having the dishes from them. I had a glimpse at the curry fish head that those at the next table were having and it looked very good. One thing I noticed was how slow the dishes were coming out but then again, there were a lot of people, probably a good idea to go there early if one wants to check out the place.

Otherwise, there are two other stalls in front, a lok lok stall…

…and this one…

I ordered the pork intestine soup (RM10.00)…

…from the latter and it turned out to be peppery and milky. My girl said it was soya bean milk – she had something similar before in Sg Petani and yes, it was very nice.

I also asked for a large plate of fried kway teow (RM10.00)…

…to share and this too was very good and I liked how they went through the trouble of removing the tails of the taugeh (bean sprouts) – they do not bother doing that elsewhere.

We were taken by surprise when the oyster omelette/or chian (RM15.00)…

…was served. It did not look anything like what I had in the peninsular before where actually, I would not consider the egg an omelette as it would be scrambled or at least, those that I had over there. Thankfully, this one tasted great and there were a lot of oysters…

…inside.

This (RM15.00)…

…however, was a disappointment. The cockles were not juicy and succulent – maybe they were pre-cooked to prevent them from going bad and when cooked again, they shrank till there was so little left that it was difficult to get the flesh out of the shell…plus they were VERY small. I certainly would not want to order this again.

Well, despite that last one, we did enjoy what we had that night but a word of warning if you intend to drop by. Do not be too happy if you see a lot of vacant parking spaces in front of the two stalls. Do not park there unless you want your car to be covered with the fumes of the cooking oil used in the cooking. It would be best to park further away and walk there.
