Last weekend, I went for a short 2D1N trip to the
Land Of White Coffee, for an ex-colleague's Wedding dinner. Goin' back to the Land Of White Coffees [ Yes....Where on earth can you find a coffee drink, which is White in colour?!!!! Yes, "White" in colour! Even the British couldn't turn the coffee, white! ... Ahhh.... You can only find it, here, the Land Of White Coffee, of course! ]
I can remember, a long, long, long time ago ...... Buying local souvenirs is a breeze .....
a)
My Favourite "Kaya Puff" shop. Back then, the shop is so dearth of customers until the owners were so free to chase the flies away, each time when we visit them [ Cantonese: "Pak Wu Ying!" ]. No thanks to a certain TV Programme Show aka "Ho Chak" which featured them on air..... Now? Each time the queue is so damn long, no thanks to the crazy KL-ites who craves for homemade "Kaya Puffs"! Sometimes, the situation is so bad until the owner has to limit 1 box of 10's to each customers unless they pre-order. Since then, situations like below happen, nearly each time during my visits:
Customer : I come from so far, KL, ya'know....! and I waited for 30 minutes - d! No matter how, you must give me 10 boxes!
Owner : Tiu nei geh ma chao hai! [ aka Fuck your mother's cunt! ]. I don't care where you come from, either you take it or leave it! If you don't like, "
Nei tong ngo - lan! Mm mou jor ju ngo jou sang yi!" -- aka, Get the fuck off here! Don't disturb me doing business! --- Hahaha ...Yup, the owner will not give you any "face" at all - one! -- and yet, the customer will end up buying from them......Haik!
b)
My Favourite "The Flying Fox of The Snowy Mountain" 雪山飛狐 Tau Fu Fa -- aka Hokkien: "Tao Huey" or "Soy Custard" --- Yes, the only place where you can get the smoothest Tau Fu Fa in Malaysia, probably due to the secret ingredient, which the water from the mountains...
山水豆腐花 ...... Last time, there was no such thing as "Drive Through" Tau Fu Fa stall , where you can order the Tau Fu Fa and drink in your car ...... And even by 6-7pm, you are still able to buy a bowl of Tau Fu Fa and eat on the spot....No thanks to the Internet Age, it has turned into a chaotic "Drive Through" Tau Fu Fa stall with a queue as long as 500meters and it's not double, nor triple...It's quadruple parking - somemore!!!! Just for a bowl of 80-cents' taufufa!! --- Sigh.
c)
The Grand "Dim Sum" dining experience -- Back then, they have been in business at the very same corner building for more than half a century. But with new generations taking over, they have built their own dim sum shop...Possibly the largest "Dim Sum" restaurant in whole Malaysia ..... Spanning 4 stories of the size of 3 shoplots .... Yes, the restaurant has indeed managed to exude it's " Wealth Mountain" Restaurant name....Really hate those KL - people....Hahaha ....Like whole life never eat "Dim Sum" before.... Probably the only "Dim Sum" restaurant in Malaysia, where one needs to queue up and take your queue number first and wait, probably 20-30 minutes for a table!
d) Last but not least, how can I not mention their
White Coffee, since I'm in the Land of White Coffee, right?! -- The original kopitiam and their very first, franchise outlet, remains the best place to savour their White Coffee, and yet, you guys thought you have tasted the best white coffee ever, in your neighbourhood Franchise outlet! --- Nothing beats their original, hot white coffee, prepared by old-aunties who have no qualms at shouting
"Fuck You" -- "Nia-mah", if you don't speak loud or clear enough when ordering, at their dilapidated corner restaurant.
Anyway, please spread your love to the ones that you care / lust / love / infatuated ..... Muacks from Simon Lover!
