SS2 Roadside Yong Tau Foo

Have always been extremely curious about this tiny stall by the roadside. Situated by the side of one of the main roads at SS2, very small, but ALWAYS PACKED!

Was rounding round and round and couldn't decide what to eat for dinner. Passed by this stall and was thinking, "Ok...why not tonight?" Finally. Was quite excited actually!

Self-service- Take your pick!

Kangkung in a bucket. Nothing like some greens to
freshen up the place.....and plate.


My picks- Kangkung, Chee Cheong Fun, Fresh Beancurd, Fried
Beancurd Skin, Pork Balls & Fried Beancurd Skin Stuffed with Minced Pork

Honestly, there were not that many choices to choose from. The taste? Not bad...

Had higher expectations cos the place was so packed all the time. After 10 minutes of sitting down, the place started filling up with people!

Many, many people!

Curry Laksa

The Curry Laksa was quite bland. Curry was not thick and aromatic enough. The sambal (chili paste)- as seen on the spoon, was watery and rather tasteless. The only thing that was nice in the whole bowl was the cockles which were half raw and juicy.

But seriously, what is up with this place? I mean, I'm just amazed! The food is only A-ok but the crowd the stall pulls in is quite unbelievable.

'X' factor? Maybe, maybe.... or perhaps Malaysians just love having their food served with a whiff of 'longkang' (drain) aroma...

Think about it. Most popular food sites here are by the drains or sewage systems..... and no one is complaining!

* No exact address but if you ask around the regulars of SS2, they'll be able to tell you the exact location.

Whooopsss!

OK. So I headed to Las Vacas again today for lunch.......and it was one-hell-of-an EXPERIENCE!! Don't know if it's a good one or a bad one, but once my friend and I got into the car, we burst out laughing.....at our stupidity that is...

I mentioned that the Grass Fed Sirloin Steak I had the other day was RM15. Actually, more like RM15 per 100gm!

Can totally justify this though.

Cos the last time I was there, the bill was not very expensive and of course, looking at this I did not check the items on the bill. Thus, not knowing how much that slab actually cost, all the while thinking it must have been RM15.

Today was a whole different matter. My friend ordered the Grain Fed Ribeye Angus and I ordered the Grain Fed Ribeye Premium.

Printed price- Angus= RM28, Premium=RM18.

So, we ordered not knowing the price was PER 100GM and when the slabs came, we girls were ecstatic! Such a BIG piece and only so cheap.....?? Ooooohhhh...we were happy....VERY VERY happy.......

Till we went to the cashier and the bill was RM143!! We were like "wattttt...wrong bill wrong bill...must be wrong bill".... But it was not.

As the girl who took our orders DID NOT tell us that she was going to serve us a 300+ gm of slab and that the printed price was actually per 100gm, we were totally GOBSMACKED-PUNCH-IN-THE-FACE shocked!

We didn't make a big hoo-hah though. Just played it cool till we reached the car and burst out laughing. Like, what the hell was that all about? Should we be angry or annoyed at our own stupidity and ignorance?

Looking at the bright side, it was a very memorable experience though fairly expensive...(My steak= RM50+ , friend's steak= RM80+ !) And all this just for lunch!

However, the food was still really good. Just that next time I'm there, I'll remember about that '100gm' thing. You should too!

For the love of Meat...
