Kuala
Lumpur is the latest city to join World Car-Free Day happening today. We were
all ready to participate in the 'effort to reduce the city's carbon footprint'.
However a hard night of partying last night left Brenda with the sniffles
today, and we had to drive out to a clinic, sigh!
Being
a Sunday our usual family clinic was not opened so we headed to the nearest 24
hour locum at Reddy Clinic in Jalan Ipoh. Since Brendan had a pretty bad sore
throat he was advised to stay off the spice and we thought we’d give this
restaurant a try.

The
restaurant looked really old and we were amazed by the extremely high ceiling. A
family run shop, the father took care of the noodle stall while the mother
manned the counter; the children in the meantime were in charge of beverages. We were thankful
that they had noodled soup and Brendan ordered the 1Mee Hoon Soup;
Cat tried the 2Wantan Mee while I sampled their 3Mee Hoon Curry.
1string
thin rice vermicelli served
in a clear flavourful soup broth made
from pork, then topped with tender
globes of sweet fish balls, slices of finely prepared pork and garnished with
caramelised golden brown garlic bits and delicately chopped scallions
2egg noodles tossed in oyster
sauce, topped with barbecued pork, wontons (dumplings), choy sum (chinese
flowering cabbage) and pickled green chilies
3string thin rice vermicelli with spicy curry soup,
chili/sambal, coconut milk, and a choice of dried tofu, cockles, prawns,
cuttlefish, chicken, egg and mint leaves

Cat
enjoyed her Wanton Mee while Brendan could not offer an opinion (stuffed nose
and all); I liked the Mee Hoon Curry though it did not compare with my all time
favourite.
The damage? Including Iced Lemon Tea for Cat and Brendan and Iced Coffee for
moi the total came to a pretty paltry RM20, well within the realms of the everyday
food for the everyday person.
