Last Friday, we go Kuching kai kai. Rev and Happy wanna find the Min Joo coffee shop which their mee awarded by Kennysia as Best Kolok Mee.

Another blogger who write eatingasia also describe this mee and their soup in a very deep meaning till i don't really understand how nice is the food.

For the 1 hour we pusing pusing in Kuching, we failed to search for the shop.

Rev sibei bei liang. He swear to god that he must eat dat "best kolok mee".

Thus that night after he went back, he searched the shop in google earth and send to us.

Happy-nya.

After 15minutes we arrived, there was no people take order for us. No order for drink and food.

Still waiting...

It was hot inside the coffee shop, like we're staying in sauna.

Friendly auntie who advised us to sit down and the Mr.X will take order later.

Ok. To eat the "best kolok mee", we need to be patient. After 15 minutes, auntie came and asked what we wanna drink. We ordered teh si peng and ice lemon tea.

The question is there was not much people inside the shop that time(most of them already got food on their table), but why the service still damn slow. Mr.X haven't come take order for us.

After 10 minutes, the drinks arrived. Because of the time they used to make the drink was kinda long, we expected the drink won't disappoint us.

But it suck. Like plain water.

While waiting for order, Rev told me that he want to order the vege soup, don't want the pork soup. Actually we don't know how to order and what to order, so we still need to wait for Mr.X.

We can only see people eating while we're waiting, just like the uncle behind us.

Finally, don't know how many minutes had gone, Mr.X took 3 chopstick, 3 spoons and 3 plates of chili for us.

He put it on the table.

OK? What thing ok?

WTF?! We don't even know what's the menu? What ok not ok?

He ordered the food for us, not we order the food for ourself. WTF?

We didn't have any chance to ask him what's they have and tell him what we want. Even Rev don't have chance to tell Mr.X he want the vege soup.

Pork soup.

There were many spare parts of a pork inside the soup including 2 fish ball and 2 little prawn. There was unknown spare part which look like abalone, we named it as pork abalone. It did not taste very good.

*****************Pork Soup*****************

Let's comment about the famous soup!

JoJo said:" Like drinking some oily plain water."

Happy said:"No taste at all."

Rev said:" I can cook the soup far far better than this! It taste like.... taste like air longkang!"

He added his comment in MSN:

1.That min joo made me dulan the most.
2.Then i had one of the most suffering soup in my life.
3.It's like air longkang. That longkang near a butcher stall, then they chop pork leftover throw into the longkang.
4.I really have no idea how ppl say this is the best kolok mee combo, heavenly taste blah blah, maybe i got problem, but actually the bloggers are crazy.

*****************Pork Spare Parts*****************

Next, the pork spare parts!

Happy said:"Only fish balls nice."

JoJo said:"Ok, it does not taste as good as the bloggers said."

Rev said:"Kanasai. The bloggers are big canon. Super 大炮."

*****************Kolo Mee???*****************

"Best Kolo Mee."

Let's comment about the mee.

It's not kolo mee. Who said it's kolo mee? Suppose that kolo mee look curly curly and slim slim one. This is handmade mee (手工面). Why it awarded as best kolok mee?

Happy said:"This mee not bad."

JoJo said:" Yea, not bad, with 麻油..."

Rev said:" With dark vinegar too... but too oily."

Yes, it's too oily. The mee was dip inside half bowl of oil+vinegar. Too oily until my stomach not feel very good after finish eating.

We paid RM23.80 for 3 set of mee which ordered by Mr. X.

On the way back home, Rev keep scold the mee:"Cxbai mee." Happy pu that this meal did not worth for the price we paid. If taste very nice nvm la, but taste like SAI sure make us bei liang ba.

And Rev swear to god that he will never go back again.

After 3 hours from the "breakfast", Rev sms me:"Oi! You ok after min joo or not? I feel sick!"

He told me that Happy lao sai at home. -_-"
