Although an entry had been posted over a year ago on this well-hidden kopitiam (包囍咖啡店) in Cameron Highlands, change is usually inevitable - for the better... or for worse.
With my parents joining me this time, i took the opportunity to try other dishes i missed out in the last trip.
When you compare the pictures between now and then, nothing has changed much, in terms of outlook; same layout, same tables, same chairs, same bosses.
Our first order was a cup of hot coffee!!! We were expecting a temperature from 18 to 19 degrees celcius but it was lower than 15 degrees celcius! Brrrrrrrr...... The bane of old age!
Wanton mee was the official first meal in Cameron Highlands and even if it was not as memorable as Oldies and Goodies, it was still comfort food appropriate for the chilly weather.
Have you ever heard complaints from Hongkongers that wanton mee should have only wanton (dumplings) and noodles (obvious from the name)?
In Pau Hei, they took it a step further...... by eliminating the wanton!! When i asked the lady boss, her reply was that they used the kind of noodles for wanton mee!! =_=!!!.
Fishball noodles also used mee kia what...
The above was the soup accompanying the wanton-less noodles. Saltish was what i will describe it and we actually requested plain water for dilution! As you can see, bobbing in the soup was not wanton but ingredients for yong tau foo! And every single one was delicious!
This soft bun by the name of pillow bread had a fluffy fragrant bite and due to its multiple wraps, the tau sar filling was evenly distributed in every chomp!
Dad had this to warm his stomach and from what i deduce, he was impressed enough to have it again the following day! I bet the same wanton soup was used!
UFO buns can be found in Singapore but the version in Pau Hei looked too flat and a bit too dry for my liking.
The insides were another story altogether; warm, moist, buttery and creamy!
Guess what lies within the shimmering aluminimum cover?
Lo Mai Kai (糯米鸡)! Deemed the best i ever had in November 2009, the rice was a tad too disappointing this time. It should be due to the lack of mushroom, resulting in rice that tasted too ordinary.
Alex loved the cantonese style chee cheong fun then. I cannot help comparing it to my favourite sweet sauce chee cheong fun in Yishun! My choice? Sweet Sauce.
