But lo and behold, my wife's dad Richard arrived yesterday to take some of our stuff to his place (which is where we will spend our last week) and informed me he was going to take me to beef noodle brunch this morning. I was most impressed!
Beef noodle, when done properly, is simply mouth-watering. It is usually cuts of beef that need serious cooking, and the meat is boiled until it is melt-in-your-mouth tender. Plus they includes all kinds of offal, which is unappetizing to some, but simply delicious to me. Put that all together in a noodle soup dish and I am hooked, each and every time.
Today we went to Pudu. I have spent little time in this area, so it was an eye-opening experience, and a pleasure to see a new part of KL, even in the twilight of my stay here. Photos below show the typical street scenes, old Chinese shop houses, etc...
Luckily I was with Richard, or else I would never have found the place! It was a typical Chinese coffee shop, although it appeared to only have one or two stalls.
The noodles themselves were pretty good, although it was not the kind of beef broth soup I was expecting - more the bah kut teh herbal variety. Nevertheless, it was still damn tasty! We were too early for tendons, but the tripe, belly and beef balls were all present. All in all, a great dish, and I was very happy to be able to tick this one off the list. Richard and I brought my eldest two kids with us, but I think they were a bit shy in this kind of environment and refused to eat. Oh well, we soon devoured their share!
