If you want to see 100% utilisation of a shop, this is one place to go. And the food is not bad. By day it is a motor shop...known as Heng Giap, located on the same side of the road as SMK St Michael. The 'famed' Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid (just celebrated their 100 years) is down the road on the opposite side. Anyway, by night this place turns into a popular eating joint made up of 5 stalls if you count the 'siu-mai stall'.
This is one of the main reasons why people come...for the famed porridge. It is so well known it seems that people from Jitra also know about it. It sells chicken porridge and kuey teow soup...if you want boiled taugeh with onion oil and soya sauce and steamed chicken and chicken parts...this is the place to go. I always 'tambah' extra gizzard to my porridge. By 8.00 p.m. the place is usually filled with people. Price is still reasonable.... RM2.20 per bowl (porridge and kuay teow). The rest of the stuff; you pay as you add. Often, by 10.30 p.m. the 'moi' will habis.
Lil Rainbow is into wantan mee now. So this is what she will usually have...dry mostly. Can order a bowl of wantan soup to go along but it is so-so only. Sitiawan wantan still beats it anytime....hands down!
The char-kuay-teow and char-mee stall. I usually have a problem choosing between the 'moi' and 'char-mee'.
The 'ying-yong' stall. Used to be one of John's favourite stall. John has passed on but whenever I come to this place, it reminds me of him. Somehow food is one thing how we are reminded of our lives and friends. Maybe, that's why we have all these celebrations that involve food. Food brings people together..and also closer. So goes the saying...the way to a man's heart is through his stomach...LOL!
Anyway, I think if you compare the prices here to KL's, you'll still find the prices here very okay. I don't think you can get a bowl of mee soup or porridge at RM2.20 in KL....
