MONEYS CORNER
144A Jalan Vivekanda, Off Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Brickfields, 50470 Kuala Lumpur.

This is the place foodies go to to get pork noodles to die for. Besides that, the char kway teow has always been one of my favourites, and there's this new kid on the block, a johnny come lately, who could share the stage or steal the thunder from these two old cocks.

This shop needs no introduction. Of all the pork noodles I've had so far, this is the best! 

Don't be fooled by the small portion, as I was so hungry I ate at least a quarter of it before i realised that I forgot to take a photo! I usually order this without the noodles and the veggies, as I love the unadulterated taste of the pork broth. The choy sum gives out a very slight bitter taste to the soup, so if you want pure porky goodness, this is the way to go.  The liver in the soup is done just the way I like it, Ever so slightly bloody to the bite. The egg added to the soup brings out another level of sweet flavour, complementing the porky broth perfectly!

When Uncle Lim was frying the noodles, the food was excellent! Good thing he trained the Indon worker well, as she could also whip out a plate with the same consistency as Uncle Lim did in his heyday. These days you can still see him there, nursing a drink and keeping an eye on both this and the chicken rice stall, which is also his.

The wok hei is strong in this one, and it's surprisingly tasty too, considering no pork lard was used. There used to be at least six huge prawns in each plate, but times, being as it is now, the size of the prawns have shrunk slightly, but thank god the flavours remains the same. I wouldn't miss this whenever I'm here.

Now, for the new kid on the block. Damm! if only I had an appetite like I used to have before! This is one dish that's really common on the streets of Thailand! Pork stewed in a wonderful braising liquid containing some spices and soy sauce, which is then chopped up and served with a bowl of steaming hot rice. How to go wrong with that?!

Just look at that and to all you pork lovers out there, try telling me that you did not die and go to heaven! Now, that is excellent stuff! A melt in your mouth experience waiting to happen!

And for those who think that pork fat is too unhealthy for you, there are some other fat free protein options for you takut mati buggers too ;-)

I found the salted vegetables just about right, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. 

And that broth! Oh, that broth! It's like the nectar of the pork gods! Spiced with cinnamon and star anise, amongst others, it is bloody excellent! And that fried garlic bits! I love it! The meats were really tender. Too bad I had the char kway teow and pork soup, otherwise i'd be wacking more of this really excellent stuff!

The indian rice stall at the back deserves special mention too, but unfortunately I just can't stuff any more food down my throat without my stomach exploding.! They have very good mutton curry and fried fish there, and should you have the space for some more food, give it a try. You will not regret! 

Enjoy!
