I decided to go for her own-made fish ball soup (RM6.00)…with tang hoon (glass noodles)…with tang hoon…instead. Yes, I was glad I did as the clear and refreshing soup was so very nice with just a very light hint of the fragrance of vinegar. I enjoyed it and sure wouldn’t mind going for it again next time…and yes, I loved that poached egg with the runny yolk!
The stewed pork…was nice but not as nice as how my missus cooks hers – hers is not so diluted, the sauce is a bit more concentrated and sticky and has a stronger garlic and whatever taste. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it very much and considering that steamed bak paos are between RM2.00 to RM3.00 each, this (around RM1.60 each with 3 mantaos) can be considered really cheap…and especially with all that meat! I shall go back for the one with the stewed pork with mui choy (preserved vegetables) soon.
In the end, I ordered the char kway teow (RM4.00)…from the nice young boy there and yes, it was very nice even though it did not have a lot of ingredients in it and it had that lovely wok hei fragrance.
Bateras Food Court Sarawak laksa I remember I did enjoy it somewhat the last time I had it a long long time ago and yes, I thought it was o.k. too this time around, not the best in town and definitely not the worst and no, I wouldn’t say that I would go out of my way to come all the way here for this.
My missus ordered the braised pork fried kway teow (RM6.00) from the chu char (cook & fry) place at the back (to the right of the food court) and even though the bits of meat were barely visible…it was very nice and had that lovely wok hei fragrance…and she enjoyed it very much. I did try a bit and yes, I would say that I did agree with her on this.
