My intentions…

I did not intend to have this…

…for my breakfast that morning when I dropped by this coffee shop…

…to buy the chang (dumplings)…

I love the ones with meat and peanuts (RM4.50 each). I gathered that those are Hakka changs and personally, I do feel that they are very nice.

I asked the very friendly and chatty lady, I believe she is the daughter – usually, there would be an older lady, probably her mum but I did not see her around that morning, if the water had started boiling at the stall…

…or not since it was very early and of course, she said yes, adding that there were customers having breakfast there already long before I came.

So far, I’ve only had their kolo mee…

…a few times and yes, theirs is very nice but I had not tried anything else.

I looked at the photographs on display at the cabinet and they sure have a lot on their menu including nasi lemak which is usually the exclusive domain of those Malay shops and stalls. I wanted that but the lady said the rice was not ready yet, still in the process of being cooked and I could actually smell the lemak-ness coming out of the rice cooker with the steam. Gee!!! I must come back here one of these days to give it a try!

In the end, I settled for their glass noodles (RM7.50)…

…in their chap-chap (assorted) clear soup.

Initially, I felt that RM7.50 was rather expensive but when I looked at all the ingredients in the bowl, I must say that it was worth it. Other than the tang hoon, there were some meat balls, fresh as well as frozen, two each, two fish balls, some strips of gutor (beef tripe), bits of liver, two fried tofu stuffed with minced meat, some seaweed and Chinese cabbage.

It tasted as good as it looked and I enjoyed everything with their slightly spicy and sourish chili blend made specially to go with this dish. I sure wouldn’t mind going for it again should another opportunity arise.

While I was there, though it was not my intention initially, I decided to buy their sio bee (meat dumplings)…

…frozen, to store in my freezer so we would be able to steam and heat them up to enjoy as and when we feel like having some and because the lady kept promoting their shui jiao (water dumplings), in the end, I relented and decided to grab a pack…

…to give it a try.

Hopefully, when I finally take them out to eat, I shall remember to take some photographs so I shall be able to see how nice they really are and can blog about them when the time comes.
