I have actually been eating at this coffeeshop (on and off) since I was a kid..... but I still find the narrow roads and many one way streets in the Sungai Way area quite daunting, maze-like even!:
The nameless coffeeshop is very nondescript, situated at the corner opposite a Chinese temple:
(Opposite this temple - Look out for it... I've attached a map at the bottom of the post though, just in case...)
Of course, the setting is simple - deteriorating wooden tables, plastic chairs and slightly dingy tiles, all adding to the rustic charm of this place:
In terms of food: There isn't actually much choice here, just a pan mee stall at the side, and this pork soup stall which I LOVE:
(20 years and still going strong!)
The soup - ah the glorious "sweetness" of the pork melted into the broth, mixed with the saltiness of the salted vegetables (ham choy) and slight peppery kick:
You can choose what you want served with it, ranging from:
- lean meat cuts,
- fatty meat cuts,
- pork meat balls <-- YUMMY! Bouncey, salty (in a good way) and tasty! :D
- as well as various porcine internal organ slices.
I usually go for pork balls and lean pork....
Mind you, the pork balls ROCK, but the lean pork slices can have a slightly dry texture...
(Hey, it's because it's lean meat (ie. healthier) and he doesn't use tenderizers as far as I know)
Another great dish served by this stall is the yam rice:
Mmmmm....
:) :) :)
Love it, as carby as it is - perfect comfort food.
Also popular is the stewed pork:
Although it's only moderately tender and not really that meaty... the chunks of pork, cooked in a simple soya sauce base really hits the right spots.
I don't have the exact price for each dish but total bill for:
- 2 large bowls of yam rice
- 3 servings of soup with pork & misc piggy parts
- 1 serving of stewed pork
= RM 22!
So worth it, right? :)
I'm not sure if this old uncle has any "heirs" to pass the yummy recipes down to... but I hope and pray that he does (or that he will live forever).
(Selfish, I know... but the food is delicious!)
So, it's: YUMMY AND AFFORDABLE porky soup, yam rice and stewed pork trotters in a simple setting BUT hidden in the maze like Sungai Way area and beware! - the uncle running the stall can suddenly decide to take an off day whenever he wants.....
