We was on my way back to KL on the highway when hunger strikes and so we decided to stop by at Seremban for lunch. Driving aimlessly I drove to Jalan Temiang and saw a few places I could check out.

I had passed by 2020 food court many times but have not eaten here before. As I was there way passed lunch time, most of the stalls are closed except for some vegetarian stall and a yong tau foo stall. We decided to give the yong tau foo a try and we did not regret it!

This stall is owned by Happy Days Corner and there is a huge type of varieties to choose from. The yong tau foo can be taken on its own or you can order noodles. I took a few and took it with curry noodles. The curry soup is great but only thing is the mee is kind of sticker and soft, so I would say avoid the mee and choose something else.

The yong tau foo itself its good, these are fish paste based and they are really good. I da bao a bunch of them after my meal back for dinner too!

They only open at 2pm and would usually close by 7pm, so this is another after lunch but before dinner place to eat but the food is good . So if you are on for a late lunch or early dinner in Seremban, this is a place to consider!

Some call it “thor kar mee” (floor noodles) and some called it ajinomoto noodles (cause of the MSG) but I just found out that this is a very famous noodles in Melaka. The name “thor kar mee” came about as I was told by Tien Soon is because there were no tables when they starting selling this noodles at Tengkera and everyone just hold the bowl and squatted on the floor to eat. This was verified by Miharu’s dad whom said that was how it was served and all you had were the little stool to sit on.

Anyhow the original stall is still in Tengkera but there is another one in Batu Berendam. After asking around at Restoran Wo Wat on the stall selling this that used to be here, we were given directions on where exactly is the stall at Batu Berendam from the aunty selling siah ping there whom happens to be related to the Batu Berendam stall, small world .

So this morning me and Miharu tried our luck and after an u-turn, we managed to find this shop. Its actually a house converted to coffeeshop style, blue in color just next to the vermicelli factory in Batu Berendam.

The name of the coffeeshop is Kim Seng if I remembered correctly but there is no signboard outside, just a small one inside.

We ordered our noodles and it came in soup topped with fishballs, slices of fish cake and most important of all the deep fried prawn crackers. The soup is tasty and sweet (thanks to the MSG), so didn’t take too much of that but the prawn crackers really makes a bit difference to what looks like an ordinary bowl of fishball noodles.

Each bite is crispy and crunchy with the prawn crackers and it was really good! I really enjoy the noodles, something new to me but just gotta be careful on the soup, don’t want to lose so much hair

Each bowl cost RM3.50 for small and RM4.00 for big. The place open as early as 7am and close at 2pm.

Tien Soon had been telling me about this place for sometime and somehow everytime I am in Melaka and he is not and when is he in, I am not. But finally this weekend we are both here and he came over to picked me up for some coconut shake!

This place is located by the road side at the Klebang area and immediately you can spot it because it is super packed with people lining up by the road covered with red umbrellas.

We used our kiasu-power and managed to find ourselves a table almost immediately amid the large crowd and some RTM crews interviewing the place. There seems to be a system here, for those whom are dining in, you just need to get a place to sit and order. For those taking away, you have to queue and wait for your turn. So if you had it there and wanna buy back, you have to then go and queue at the line.

While waiting for our coconut shake special (with additional ice cream on top like a float), we tried some of their packed nasi lemak kukus. Its still warm and I must say its pretty good. The rice does not stick together and the sambal is great. Each packet cost RM1.20.

For the coconut shake special, it cost RM2.00 for having it there plus loads of patience as it took almost 20 mins for ours to arrived. The coconut shake is actually a blend of ice, coconut juice, coconut flesh, sugar plus loads of ice cream! The special comes with an extra scope of ice cream on top! The texture is smooth, you can still taste bits of coconut flesh, no wonder people are buying it by the loads at the queue.

This place opens at 12.30pm and closed at 6.30pm and I highly recommend this place especially on a hot sunny Melaka afternoon!
