There are actually people who would travel miles out here just for the kangkong with brown cuttlefish dish.
They'll rave and rave about it.
Until you get so fed up with them, you want to try it for yourself.
Delusional homosapiens.
I don't fancy this yet it cannot be compared to Heng Kee @ Hing Kee on China Street .
That kopitiam has the honours of serving the worst sotong kangkung in the whole universe and many blackholes beyond.
Next !
Assam laksa.
Um,how do I put it.
The noodles are uncharacteristically twisted,gnarled and lumpy unlike the smooth ones sold by most chinese stalls.
More Malay than Chinese.
Next the sauce is not the sweet kind you find on the island but leans more to the KL type.
Sourish but not too overwhelming.
Bits and pieces of fish here and there.
Smells stinky,but not very delicious.
Doesn't appeal to the appetite by virtue of appearance alone.
Cos the entire dish looks like the sediments roadside hawkers would sieve out of leftover foods.
Bah ! Waste of time.
Curry mee.
Strange.
Comes with one small piece of chicken,tastes like Ipoh curry laksa,even contains long beans.
Siew Yoke rice.
Siew Yoke nice,not too oily,crispy crunchy skin.
Rice.Like a confluence of teochew porridge meets a lump of sun baked buffalo dung.
Effectively flushing the fleeting memory of the nice siew yoke you just munched on,into a sewage retention pond.
All day dimsum.
Not available or folded up?
The other stalls.
Don't know,don't care,don't want to know.
Note:
Many friendly,flea infested,itchy backside,parasitic old,diseased mongrels like to beg for scraps while you're at the table.
So what does one do when the meal turns out to be a dissapointment?
Admire the peak of Jerai and be awed by the crystal clear Drainwater with river silt in it,before you drive the heck out of here.
They'll rave and rave about it.
