What is so special about them? Apart from the nice food (which i will go into detail later) is the atmosphere here. The shop is located along Jonker Street. Front part of the shop you can hear the cars passing by (traffic ain't that bad in the morning) and occasionally you can see old uncles/aunties cycle by slowly. At the back of the shop, you will hear the old black smith working on the iron. "Tong!" "Tong!" "Tong!" you can hear him working hard.
So what do they have here? The one on top of the list is the Pork-seafood noodle (pic below).
The standrad ingredients they have for the noodle soup are minced pork, pork intestine, liver, pork lard, prawns, small oysters and veggie. If you are not a pork intestine /liver person you can ask them not to add that in. You can have it with bee hoon, kuay teow, mee or mee sua. If you ever order this, i would recommend you to go for mee sua! If you are super health concious, then i warn you not to step into this shop! Hahahaha....The noodle soup is RICH, in the sense that rich in fats :P But taste guarantee BEST! The noodle comes as individual meal. So you may want to order according to the number of people who wants it.
The are other stuff that you can order as extra / side order. They have chicken chop and pork chop (pic below). This is quite different from the western style. They are normally deep fried and cooked with canned green peas, potato and some tomatoes. The sause is thick and nice! For a REAL chinese, they would say, "a bowl of white rice to go with the sauce will be a perfect meal!"
They also have a variety of fried vegetables. The one shown here is "choy sam" fried garlic. One of their nice veg is the fried bitter gourd. (i've never tasted it before coz i hate bitter gourd, but others who have tasted it said that it is nice)
Omelette! They have Prawn omelette, oyster omelette and normal omelette. So far i've tasted the oyster omelette and it is nice! Sorry no pics on that, cause i tasted it few days ago and my camera was not with me at that time :P
Another good one to try is the fried fish / pork with ginger and spring onion. It is SUPERB!
Well, once again, to eat here you need to have the patience to wait. Reason being, they don't mass produce your order, even if it is similar type of order. For example, the cook will do the noodle soup pot by pot. So if you order 5 mee sua soup, the cook will repeat the process 5 times to come up with 5 bowls of mee sua soup. Their style has become a trademark for them and because the food is nice, so people normaly don't mind the waiting :)
How to find this place? Easy. Look for the Orang Utan house (main branch), the coffee shop is just next to it across the street that is 10-step wide.
