Filling, cheap and not having to push through the Father's Day crowd, we were one happy family that evening.HairyBerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523068919917998534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189934640660440147.post-77960734481648579162010-06-24T17:51:33.497+08:002010-06-24T17:51:33.497+08:00Ciki, awww... that's so nice to say! But I'...Ciki, awww... that's so nice to say! But I'm sooo far from lovely I couldn't possibly accept that as truth! Will work on it though! :-P<br /><br />BBO, yeah unfortunately the thumbs up kinda dropped off the radar once my dad bit into the first mouthful. Very hard to please, that man!<br /><br />Reanaclaire, thanks for dropping by! I actually prefer the broader type of Hakka noodles too.. and this is the first time I've seen it served this skinny.<br /><br />Vialentino, yup! Despite our best laid plans to take him fine dining or some grand Chinese restaurant, the outings that usually make him smile are to holes like these.<br /><br />TNG, I don't necessarily think this place used to be "better" - Dad had pretty unrealistic expectations, comparing it to the taste of his childhood. You know those are always pretty impossible to beat!<br /><br />Food Paradise, wow, do I need to watch this Jason show or what? He keeps getting name-checked by my dad too!<br /><br />Babe KL, ah it must be true then! I think Dad expected it to be even springier than how the noodles turned out. The perpetual crowd can't be wrong!minchowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14277872682111517929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189934640660440147.post-65556677572162769562010-06-24T17:42:57.137+08:002010-06-24T17:42:57.137+08:00J2Kfm, I honestly couldn't tell any better but...J2Kfm, I honestly couldn't tell any better but I'm going to go with Dad's native tongue! Although, to be fair, he can be fairly set in his ways once his mind's made up, right or wrong!<br /><br />LFB, true true! Once you get past the bump, things look so ridiculously simple you can't help but wonder why all that heartache in the first place?!<br /><br />Qwazymonkey, I am forever indebted to my father. I would've been so much lesser a person had he not taught me whatever he did.<br /><br />Sean, well-said. Takes a real ego shedding process to recognise that we screw up ourselves and not just finger point others who've wronged us. <br /><br />J, I thought the noodles were a-OK actually! But I do tend to be heavily influenced by my dad's blatant disappointment. Random boy's too!<br /><br />Joe, I don't do enough of it period. I resolve again and again that I need to spend more time with them in Penang but get caught up with other immaterial and irrelevant things here.minchowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14277872682111517929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189934640660440147.post-86054196906948754372010-06-24T14:14:32.514+08:002010-06-24T14:14:32.514+08:00I loved the noodles here and so glad its available...I loved the noodles here and so glad its available till 10pm now. This shop is owned by my ex-colik's family, he told us the noodles are hand made just like J2Kfm and I watched on A Taste of Jason.
