just pig out

i'm back. with more food recommendations! there goes my diet... again. but oh well, who cares? life is short, you never know when your last meal would be. thus we ought to eat without an ounce of guilt nor condemnation, right? agreed totally.

anyway, a friend of mine was telling me how great this "kolo mee" is. on and on he's been going. and i decided that we need to put a stop to it. i'll give him no more leeway to brag. i'm gonna try it for myself! so wahla, there i found myself at upper thomson this evening (it's located in one of those shophouse place somewhere near where springleaf road is). the name of the stall is 'jia xiang' (家香) Kuching Sarawak Kolo Mee. i swear i've seen this stall some place else before (i think it might have been vivocity, can't remember liao). another of those food franchise thingy i bet. thank goodness there wasn't much of a crowd then and we promptly plonked ourselves at an available seat while he did the honours of ordering for us: the standard charsiew kolo mee, fried wanton, wanton soup, mushroom veges and cold barley drinks.

well, i wasn't exactly blown away by the kolo mee like he said i would be. it's not too bad either, just a little on the salty end though. i expected it to be much oiler than normal but that wasn't the case. the portion was kinda small though for 3.90 bucks. wasn't very full after that and we even contemplated going for round 2. until he suggested that we should check out the prata at a stall nearby known as 'The Prata Place'.

the egg prata they serve is damn yummy man. so crispy and yet fluffy. the curry was also shiok-a-do-da-dooo! spiciness was just nice. i found myself wishing that we had gone for this in the first place instead. hehee. but then again, eating too much of one thing can make one feel rather 'je-lak'. washed it all down with a cup of warm and aromatic teh-haliah (tea with ginger). never felt this satisfied in a long while.

the verdict: 3/5 for kolo mee (top) and 4/5 for shiokalicious egg prata (bottom).

one thing's for sure. i'm going back for more. i'm eyeing their murtabak next. yes i'm such a glutton :D
