Best Sui-Kow...

... in Alor Setar. Well at least to me. This is another makan place I went. Kafe Kim Hoe is located on Jln Putera, next to Sentosa Plaza, right next door to Chuan Lam, supposedly another popular place for Hokkien Mee here. Anyway, the owner used to operate a stall in Pekan Simpang Kuala years ago. That's where I discovered him. Then he moved here.

He has his own regular patrons. This is where you get good 'sui-kow'. Went with Other Half for breakfast there recently. The owner's daughters were busy helping him. They're all still quite young. The eldest girl there looked like a she's in Lower Secondary. Good girls, all of them, helping their parents out.

We ordered this... dry kuanloh curry mee. Not the best I've eaten but palatable.

And this to go with it - roast duck with some taugeh and a very generous amount of sweet sauce. The sauce was too sweet to our liking. And the duck wasn't that good either, a little tough even though it was a drumstick that we ordered.

But this is what this particular shop is good at... sui-kow. Been quite a while since I ate this but it was still good. Sui-kow is actually a Chinese dumpling, wrapped in wantan skin, served in clear soup. The filling is a mix of meat, prawns, vegetables... basically you can put in anything you want. It's a bigger version wantan. Anyway, I like this particular shop's sui-kow.
