Breakfast @ Kuan Heng Cafe

It was about 8.30 a.m., and we went round and round the shop lots in our car, trying to look for parking. We went about 3 rounds before we secured a "premium parking", cause it was right in front of the shop! Yippee.

The ordinary-looking cafe was just as crowded. No vacant tables .... and we had to stand around to wait for people to leave. Luckily, we waited for a mere few minutes.

What's famous here at Kuan Heng Cafe is the homemade fish balls and fish cake slices. Customers can enjoy them with their choice of noodles, or just in a plain bowl of soup. Indeed, business is so good, that customers sometimes need to wait for 45 minutes to enjoy the food. That morning, my friend and I waited for only 20 minutes.

Dry noodles with fish cake slices, RM3.50

 Fish balls and fish cake slices in clear soup, RM5.00

What's great about the fish balls and fish cake slices was that they were really very springy and chewy. I enjoyed the bouncy textures a lot. As I bit into a fish ball, it burst with the taste of fresh fish and a hint of pepper. They tasted of "home".

I also wanted to try the regular version of dry noodles ...

 Dry noodles, RM2.50 

The curly noodles here were the thicker version, so they looked soggy. In fact, they were not. The noodles were drenched in very aromatic shallot oil and seasoning, so they were very moist. The toppings were a very generous helping of tasty minced pork, and a few slices of pork. The pork was not the usual red-coloured bbq char siew, but a homemade version which was dark in colour. The pork slices were sweet, so I thought  they complemented the noodles really well.

So in the end, I finished the yummy noodles when I was not supposed to! ;p
