Mambau near Port Dickson (PD) in Negeri Sembilan one of my favourite place to eat Yong Tau Foo. Just next to the roundabout coming down from the highway to the old road to PD is where this shop is located. Its basically a make shift outlet, open air with fan by the road side. Just watch out for this place on your left just after the roundabout.

They serve a variety of Yong Tau Foo here but the filling is pork instead of fish. Some of my favourite here includes their tau pok, meatballs, yau char guai, white tofu, brinjal (egg plant), etc. They even have things like egg yong tau foo. Most of the stuff here will be deep fried before serving, making things like the meatball especially yummy! Most of the yong tau foo here are sold at RM0.80 per piece.

You have the option to take it with rice or they also serve Hakka noodles to go with it. The one other thing I like best about this place is that they serve and sell the Kor Hau Kum tea leaf, which gives you a slightly tangy bitterness when you drink but retain the sweet taste in your mouth after swallowing, something nice to try

Was exploring the old way to Port Dickson from Nilai and we passed by Mantin town in Negeri Sembilan and decided to check out some of the breakfast place. We made a stop at the Pusat Penjaja Mantin and checked out Gerai Makanan U Ee,

We noticed most of the tables are ordering from this stall, hence we gave it a try. I ordered the curry noodles while Jack ordered the dried noodles plus a few pieces of yong tau foo. The yong tau foo looks old school pork type, and its really good, no regret but the noodles are so so only. The curry noodles cost RM2.80 with a lot of stuff inside and I added “si-hum” or clams which cost RM0.30 more

Coffee as usual in most small town is fantastically rich and fragrant, really good I must say, a good stop if you are passing by anytime .

Tow Kee is famous in Seremban and a lot of people comes from all over the place to have their famous Hakka noodles. This place sells nothing but that and expect a long wait! I was hashing with the Wild Geeks inNegeri Sembilan and after dropping Cramper in Jelebu, we decided to use the Seremban way home.

While in Seremban town, the Bull wanted to stop for some food and our Medic being a local brought us to the all famous Tow Kee. We managed to get a parking in front (which is helpful since we have all our bikes exposed at the back), the place is just opposite the wet market and post office in town.

First impression, its just like any normal small town Chinese eatery and we immediately noticed people standing at the front of the shop waiting for their take away and a few tables of serious looking (cause of the long wait) customers waiting for their home.

At the back, an uncle is busy making the noodles fresh in the shop and its immediately cooked in front by this fierce looking aunt and the only person serving and taking orders is an Indon helper. The cooking is slow as the aunt had to cook one by one and she seems to be particular about the portions and she gets loud easily to the helper, hehehe… the helper had to turned on some oldies on the radio to calm her down… hahahaa…

Anyway, the Bull as usual keeps b***hing about the wait and keeps sending gestures to the helper to hurry his noodles. 30 minutes later, we finally got our noodles!

Its not very complex, just simple fresh and soft noodles being cooked and mix with minced pork and a little spring onions. The unique part is not the taste but the noodles, usually these kind of noodles are hard and stick together. This, you can see its soft, beautifully made and cooked.

Total damage for 3 bowls of the noodles and 1 can of soft drinks is about RM11++. So is the 30 minutes worth it? If you are in town and have some time to kill, why not, but to travel there from KL and wait 30 mins, I don’t think I will, prefer the dried beef noodles more
