Another breakfast excursion today, this time to Pudu, one of the old Chinese parts of town known for especially delicious Chinese food. It’s about a 40 minute walk but I decided to take the trundling old monorail to Imbi and walk 10 minutes from there. It was around 9 on a Sunday so very quiet still, though the breakfasters were coming out and the sun promised a fierce heat. I walked around Berjaya Times Square, a large and ugly lower-end mall, and along a row of bars, restaurants and gentlemen’s clubs in what must have once been rather pretty curving rows of terraced houses. Through the Pudu streets, and finally to Restoran 168, home of one of the better regarded curry mee places in KL. The last time GF and I had tried to come it had been around 11 and everything was finished. Today, although it was full of Chinese breakfasters, I found a table to myself outside, in the shade and along the curving wall. The curry mee was delicious, with a generous portion of blood-filled clams (this is a term of praise for this sort of clams – the bloodier the better) and a rich, delicious curry soup. With it I ordered barley ice but received, to my surprise, a tong sui with barley, soya milk, longans and lotus seeds. It went extremely well with the curry mee, though it did add to what was already a mighty breakfast. I daresay I will not eat for the rest of the day and in anticipation, I popped into a shop on the way back and bought some salad leaves and coconut water.
