Breakfast at Kim San Kedai Makan (金山大众市场) along Muar Glutton Street [Malaysia]

After a drive that's more than three hours long from Singapore, we finally arrived at the famous muar glutton street, where we shall our breakfast right in Malaysia! 

Many shops were either closed or just started business; hence, after checking out the about 100-meter street, we decided to have our meal at Kim San Kedai Makan, which would be like our typical coffee shop with a variety of offerings suitable for everyone of us. 

Kaya Butter Toast - let's start with the toast, a must-have in Malaysia and Singapore! Not bad tasting with a crisp outer shell and loving the thick butter and the yummy egg custard kaya Do you prefer the green or orange one? For me, the winner has to be the orange! 

Duck Egg Penang Char Kway Teow - although it's a bit too early for char kway teow, it's hard to resist when the stall was already operation with the strong whiffs of fried noodles that were irresistible! 

Now, this RM9.00 a plate char kway teow was a downright disappointment; bland and no wok hei! The saving grace was the duck egg which gave it some brownie points.

Chee Cheong Fun - this would be something more suitable for breakfast and the only sad thing going through my mind was that Alex didn't join us for this trip since he is a huge lover for chee cheong fun. 

For RM 14.00 for two plates, I had to admit that the serving size was substantial! Both were alright tasting but it's the prawns over the minced meat for me. And having the shallots over the chee cheong fun was definitely a good move. 

Boneless Duck Noodle - among all the stalls in the coffee shop, the one that got the highest review score on Google Maps is actually the duck stall, commanding a high 4.8! 

Frankly, I was hesitant to order as I am very picky when it comes to braised duck and the noodles used weren't the type I like; which was like a thicker yet flatter form of yellow noodles. 

Priced at RM 8.00, this was honestly a surprise! The noodle tasted just like a more fulfilling form of mee pok, and the sauce was savory sauce; making every slurp delightful! While the duck meat was sliced thinly, it was tender, ending on a nice, braised note. 

=====

Do you think I will return? Maybe for toast and duck noodles. 
And maybe chee cheong fun if Alex were with me.
