Curry Laksa + Cendol
There are many versions of Curry Laksa (Curry Noodles)one can get in KL. However, not many shops or hawkers that sells curry laksa like the one in Madras Lane or known as 'Choong Wah Hong'. It comes with pig skin, bean curd, cockels, egg plants and long beans cooked in coconut milk. Yes, I saw the layer of oil there too. It actually is not as oily as it looks, nor, as unhealthy (the coconut milk). The amount of coconut milk is just right. Wink.
You can have a choice to add in curry chicken or not, which you need to tell the person as you order, otherwise, it is served without the curry chicken. This stall has been here since my mum was a young girl, and now? she's 72yrs of age. Hmm. Something must be right about its food, right? Haha.
The normal bowl, otherwise known as small, without chicken costs RM4.00, while the big bowl costs an additional 0.50sen. With chicken? The cost is RM5. I find it a bit on the steep side in terms of its price versus the ingredients. They, however, are very generous with the beehoon!
This stall is located right behind the famous building in Petaling Street, Pak Peng. If you are in Petaling Street's main road itself, where all the stalls are selling the imitations, all you need is ask for this building, go behind the building and you will see a row of food stalls.
Be sure to order the right one as there are two stalls there. Its the stall which is closer to the stall selling yong tow foo.
The yong tau foo is another item you should try when you are there. It has been there for ages as well.
The other wonderful thing I discovered was its Cendol. Especially the green stuff - cendol. It is homemade and DEFINITELY very different and tastes good. Find me another if you can.
The cendol is served in a cup, if you are eating there, which cost RM2.00, while its RM2.50 for take away. As you dig deeper into the cup, you can find sweet corn, red beans and cincau plus some coconut milk. It's just like digging for some good old treasure.
And they serve ice kacang too. What's the difference? I cant tell you, as my mum was the one who ordered. Thus, the only difference, I think, is just the condensed milk vs coconut milk??
This particular stall is the only one there that serves this dessert ;-) so, you can easily finds it.
If you dislike the traffic as much as I do in getting there, go on Sunday morning when traffic is still asleep. Good luck!
