If you are ever in the vicinity of our vibrant Chowrasta Market in Georgetown, you might want to pay ‘Kedai Kopi Soon Yuen’ a visit. Late last Sunday morning we chance upon a Koay Teow Th’ng stall that operates in that particular coffee shop. We have passed by this shop numerous of times and we didn’t thought much of what can be uncovered from this place. We were really wrong to have the perception.
At Soon Yuen, one could find the branch of the famous Macalister Lane Chee Cheong Fun; Koay Teow Th’ng, Wantan Mee, Hokkien Mee, Lam Mee and the breakfast favourite, toast and soft boil egss. We have tried most of what they and will be back the following Sunday to try the wantan mee which look quite nice and toast.
The poach chicken from the KKT stall uses old egg-laying hens to make their soup and to serve as additional side dish. The chicken as compared to the Lebuh Clarke KTT stall, which also sells the old hen meat, is more fragrant and finer. The skin and fatty layer has more fragrance and a more crunchy texture. And the meat is of finer texture and has more chicken/gamy flavour. The plate of chicken with some bean sprouts cost us RM10.00.
We were late, thus just yellow noodles were the only noodle available. May be with flat rice noodle (Koay Teow) the soup would have tasted better. But for RM3.00 per bowl is just slightly on the costly side.
