Cari Makan: Pork Noodles @ SS3

It’s now 1 o’clock and I’m starving! Mom says her meeting would end 1 but it has been delayed perhaps? Nonetheless I shall fill up my tummy with this blog post!

It has been almost a year since I came to this coffee shop which is just a stone throw from my house! I recall that the last time I came here, I got quite pissed at how slow the service was from the pork noodle stall that I did not even bother ordering this yummy bowl of noodles. The couple would make a dozen or more bowls at one time. But his process is sooo slowwww. About 15 minutes per round :(

I had a sudden craving yesterday and my dad said that this is probably one of the better pork noodles since the aunty in Yat Yeh Hing closed her stall! The place to eat this yummy bowl of pork noodles is Restaurant Kean Fatt. The location of this place can be found on this dude’s blog here! The stall is operated by an old couple. One grump old lady and one slow old man!

You practically get to choose the kind of meat you wanted in your noodles or a mix would be ok too. I had pork slices and minced meat on mine. The generous servings of the meat makes this bowl priced at a pretty high $4.80. The broth of the soup was extremely flavorful putting me at an MSG alert. But amazingly I did not get any MSG overdose symptoms. But my dad found the noodles very salty. On the other hand, I felt a sensation of sweetness and saltiness due to one of the preserved vegetables used to make the broth.

I found this place very yummy! In fact, superbly delicious in my opinion haha. Too tasty my dad claims. Loved the little crispy nibbles of fried pork lard. A correct mixture of their secret sauce and sort make this meal very favorable to a hungry lad like me!!

I’m so hungry now :( I need my lunch!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Cari Makan: Lai Fong Beef Noodles @ KL.

After a long swim with an already rumbling stomach, nothing gets better than a hot bowl of noodles. What more a good bowl of noodles! Located just a stone’s throw from Pasar Seni LRT, walk along the busy street to find a corner lot coffee shop sporting a Lai Fong sign board and you’re there! If you don’t see it, try asking around. It’s probably one of the more famous eats in town for budget conscious peeps (which should be increasing in the economy downturn.)

There is not mistaking which stall serves the beef noodles as there is one and only one stall that sells it.  I requested for just beef slices and beef balls because I dislike eating all the other intestines, stomach, and liver parts. Costs $5.00 for one small serve. Large costs $6 and extra large would cost you $7/8.

This place is less generous compared to the super duper awesome Soong Kee beef ball noodles with mince meat topping. Soong Kee gives 8 balls compared to 3 balls from Lai Foong. Beef meat slices were decent from Lai Foong. But what sucked real bad at this stall was the chili sauce which tasted so plain :S Not nice at all!!

Nonetheless, this was a decent eat @ 5 ringgit.

Cari Makan: Nasi Lemak @ Jalan Tanglin

Nasi Lemak is always a breakfast favorite which is always on my chart for breakfast when I’m back here. After exercising at the club, dad took me to Jalan Tanglin Nasi Lemak which is insanely popular with the crowd. Initially I wanted to bring my camera down but decided not to. Felt very awkward ahaha. We ordered two plates of Nasi Lemak with Chicken Sambal and eggs. Cost us 10 bucks in total with drinks. The price is about ok but the serving a small.

A living history foundational by human hype.

All in all, this place is worth coming thanks to it’s bit of history. This days has been known to my dad in his days with the Government (35 years ago!). He has not been here since 15 years or so he exclaimed! Wowowow!! Also, even though this place was crowded to the max, it’s good location within the lush tropic greenery gives it a certain feel of tranquility that differentiates itself from the normal KL city life despite being just a minute or two from one of the busiest cities alive. I think foreigners will love this place. See them walking all over the area.

The downside was the dry chicken meat followed by the small serving. The base nasi lemak biasa @ $1.50 had no eggs inside  making it less worthy. The sambal is not those thick kind which I’m flexible with because the S.E.A park one was just as watery.

All in all this trip was worthy but the hype was not. Also be sure not to commit any bullshit offense. Police are everywhere in the canteen eating Nasi Lemak. After all it’s located fairly near the Bukit Aman Police Station :D
