I have been to this little eatery many times but have never taken pictures of the food or even thought of writing about it... until today. I think it should be given due credit for its down to earth hawker style food and humble owners.
The food I've tried are:
Bak kut teh (pork rib soup) - a herbal soup with pork ribs and pork belly served with rice. Good on a cold night as the soup is served in a claypot retaining the heat for longer. I would have preferred the herbal taste to come through more but it would be perfect for some who are not used to herbal soups.
Hokkien prawn noodles - yellow noodles and vermicelli, bean shoots, prawns and pork rib in a rich spicy prawn broth. I thought it was close enough to the mediocre ones back home but it's melbourne. It's much better than some other Malaysian restaurants that claim to be authentic.
Assam laksa (sour soup noodles) - it is pretty good as it had the ingredients typical of an assam laksa. The sour soup with fish bits were addictive (guilty. Not a drop of soup left by the time I was done). The soup was sour and sweet. The sweetness comes from the prawn paste that you mix in the soup before eating your noodles.
Pan mee (dough noodles with pork mince and ear fungus)- there's a choice of dry or soup. I preferred dry which was blanched noodles mixed with a tasty dark soy sauce mixture topped with pork mince and ear fungus.
Fried yee mee - was ok compared to those we get back in Malaysia. The taste of the stock was a little bland.
This place can get very full during dinner time and it opens from Monday to Saturday (12-2.30pm; 5.30pm-8.30pm).
