When my man saw a food post in FB not long ago, he had been thinking of driving all the way to Sentosa for breakfast.
Hao Jing Cafe in Sentosa; on its right was 77 Mart and its left was Hong Leong Bank. It was a Sunday morning slight before 8am when we reached the coffee shop but it was pretty packed with morning goers. Not far away was the wet market, so we expected jam and crowds.
We were lucky as we found an available table. The last table at the end, next to a Malay stall. Otherwise we may ended up tapau our breakfast instead.
This was the reason we came here. Ho Lee Fried Stall. This stall was next to the Malay stall, where seated not far from.
The FB post mentioned and recommended its tasty and flavourful Hokkien Mee. I ain't a big fan of Hokkien Mee, and since hubby ordered that, I decided to try other dish.
Hubby ordered the special for his Hokkien Mee, requested for more pork lards and a fried egg.
The noodle was fried so well that you could taste the wok hei. The lard added extra flavour and texture to the noodle. Overall, it was really good and tasty.
As for me, I went for the wat tan hor. Yummy as well. So generous with the egg gravy. Good to take on a cold, cloudy morning. We waited pretty long for our food, as business was good. 1 young man cooking all the dishes and people were patiently waiting for their food. Would we be coming back for more?? You bet, but only when we are craving for a good fried Chinese noodle. Not anytime soon I think, as it is about 30 minutes drive from my place.
Sentosa was at one time, 7th Mile, right? Used to be so far away, near the airport but now, it does not seem so out of the way anymore. We used to go there sometimes - they do have some nice stuff at some of the coffee shops there.
ReplyDeleteLike the look of your KL Hokkien mee, and the wat tanhor looks good too!
P.S.
I had some good friends in 7th Mile. I think their surnames were all Liew but we have lost touch already, dunno where they are now.
Oh no! I remember now, not Liew but Chai. Friends from way back in the 70's.
ReplyDeleteWah, looks good for pork lard lovers!!! Well worth the trip to go and eat there.
ReplyDeleteI would have mine with extra pork lards too! What is wok hei?
ReplyDeleteWok fire. Indicating fire to perfection, dry and slightly burn. That taste and smell.
Deletethe wat tan hor looks good! weekend breakfast would be good since it is not rush hour, so 30 minutes drive (without morning jam) is still OK.
ReplyDeleteWorth the trip then since the food was good. I don't mind travelling for good food!
ReplyDeleteBreakfast is my favourite meal to eat out. I love going early in the morning.
