A few days ago, a new coffeeshop took over the corner lot where a car service workshop/tyre shop used to be. Restoran Seng Kee is located along Jalan PJU 8/5H, just behind Pusat Aktiviti Calvary and can be seen from the main road of Damansara Perdana. Can't possibly miss the spanking new signage.
We went there for lunch today. As in most coffeeshops, there's an economy rice stall. Restoran Seng Kee also sells other 'staples'; you know, the usual such as chicken rice, 'wanton' noodles, fish ball noodles and meatball noodles. There is also an unoccupied stall near the back of the shop. I hope it's going to be one selling curry or asam laksa!
I ordered a bowl of meatball noodles for myself. Must be that longing for 3JC's meatballs. It wasn't outstanding but tasty enough. The portion's pretty good too and the soup wasn't murky like some others which I have tasted. But what really worked for me was the fried pork intestines which were served together with the meatballs and sliced sausages. The bowl of noodles cost RM4-50. I wonder how much more they will charge me if I ask for an extra helping of the fried intestines the next time??
WSS had been dreaming about 'wanton' noodles so he had a plate of that. The portion was too small for WSS! The noodles were quite springy and didn't taste too bad, despite it looking a little bland. Maybe we have been accustomed to eating 'wanton' noodles at other places where more dark sauce is used. The 'wantons' were served separately in a bowl of soup. No complains about the 'wantons' but they got to do something about the over peppery soup.
a RM4-50 lunch
As we made our way out of the shop after our lunch, we checked out the 'chap fan' (economy rice) stall. Choices were too few and uninteresting looking. For a new kid on the block, they were not short of customers especially during lunch time. Bet some of the older coffeeshops would have lost some of their customers but some competition is always healthy. Maybe now, the si-tau-poh (proprietress) from one of the other shops won't be so snobbish, eh?
Tomorrow, I think I will go back for the Kampar fish ball noodles.
