After a very
long absence we’re back! In the days when we used to live in Subang Jaya this
food court was our recurrent favourite weekend dining destination, especially
at night when all its stalls are open for business.

Coming here for
lunch may be a bit of a disappointment since less than half the stalls
operating during the daytime. Oh well, as long as my favourite dry 1Bak
Kut Teh stall is open I won’t stay disappointed for long (oh dear, the
kilometres I will have to cover in the coming days to make up for this sinful
‘cheat meal’). Brendan ordered the (what else?) 2Char Kueh Teow
while Cat sampled the 3Sarawak Kolok (or Kolo) Mee.

Chinese soup that literally means "meat bone tea", and at its
simplest, consists of meaty pork ribs simmered in a complex broth of herbs and
spices (including star anise, cinnamon, cloves, dang gui, fennel seeds and
garlic) for hours. Additional ingredients may include offal, varieties of
mushroom, choy sum, and pieces of dried tofu or fried tofu puffs. Additional
Chinese herbs may include yu zhu (玉竹,
rhizome of Solomon's Seal) and ju zhi (buckthorn fruit), which give the soup a
sweeter, slightly stronger flavour. Light and dark soy sauce are also added to
the soup during cooking and garnished with chopped coriander or green onions
and a sprinkling of fried shallots, and usually eaten with rice.

chili, a small quantity of belachan, whole prawns, de-shelled cockles, bean
sprouts, chopped Chinese chives and egg

noodles served with crushed garlic and shallots, minced pork and shreds of char
siew (seasoned boneless pork cooked in a covered oven or over a fire)

The verdict? We
were glad to find that nothing much has changed, and the taste of the dishes
here were still up to the mark. Cat remarked that unlike most other food
courts, the operators (and more importantly, its cooks) were still local
Malaysians. And the damage? Including a round beverages and the rather pricey
dry Bak Kut Teh (RM13) it still weighed in at a respectable RM31.80, and still
within the realms of the everyday food for the everyday person.
