Just as he said…

I mentioned in my blogpost the other day that I met an ex-colleague of mine and he told me that the stuff from the new guy, formerly from here, there…

…was pretty good.

I did go and have a look at the photographs and the menu at his stall…

…but they did not look very alluring so I decided to just order something from the next stall which has been there for a long time now (and the kampua mee stall too).

Well, I was at my favourite fish & seafood stall at the end of the block that morning and I decided to hop over and have a bite…just to give it a try even though I wasn’t all that hungry at the time.

The thing is when you do not have an appetite, nothing would appeal to you and in the end, I just ordered the guy’s char kway teow (RM5.00)…

…quite convinced that it would not be anything to shout about.

I sure am glad to say that the guy managed to prove me wrong! It was very nice, just as what my ex-colleague said, and even though there wasn’t any cockles (see ham) or prawns or lap cheong (Chinese sausage), there was quite a lot of char siew and chives…

…in it.

The egg was perfectly done, almost! The yolk was runny, just the way I like it but it did not have that fragrant golden fringe that traditionally-fried eggs (using a wok) would have.

I would love to order that again next time but I had a glimpse at the char chu mee (Foochow fried noodles soup) a guy at another table was having and it did look really good. Perhaps I would go for that instead…or something else on their menu.
