The ladies were here a long long time ago and they told me they were in the town centre before that, the coffee shop beside the Cathay Cinema/Star Cineplex and then, they moved to a coffee shop among the shops across the road from the school where I was teaching before I retired. After that, they moved here and the last time I saw the ladies, they were here. They did tell me at that point in time, that they were still running the stall at their previous location…
…but they had left the men in charge there. I happened to stop by there the other day and true enough, the father and the son were there, holding the fort.
I asked for a bowl of Sarawak laksa with an egg added (RM6.00)…
…RM5.00 for the regular, RM1.00 for the extra egg. I said that I did not want any meat and the guy told me that there would not be any in their laksa, no shredded chicken – just the few tiny prawns, the thinly sliced omelette and the taugeh (bean sprouts).
If you ask for the special, you will get a lot of those prawns…
…probably bigger ones, with their shell intact but I am not all that fond of those crustaceans, the cheaper ones with the hard shell, not the pek hay and no, don’t ever dream that you will get any tiger prawns!
I remember I did enjoy it somewhat the last time I had it a long long time ago and yes, I thought it was o.k. too this time around, not the best in town and definitely not the worst and no, I wouldn’t say that I would go out of my way to come all the way here for this.
BATERAS FOOD COURT (2.297349, 111.824644) is located among the shops opposite Kin Orient Plaza (where the “old’ Sing Kwong Supermarket is) along Jalan Tun Abg Hj Openg, right after Coffee Code, Gabriel’s Recipe and a shophouse lot hotel, immediately before Kampung Grandma.
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
