Breakfast and Lunch in Seremban

I'm not from Seremban and never would have ever think to live my life there. However, being back there once a while for a few weeks would be rewarding. (i just love KL) .The air is definitely fresher despite the fact that it is just as polluted as KL.

The number of cars is no doubt increasing. Yea...my neighbours back there have a minimum of 2 cars per household ranging from Kelisa and Kancil to Vios and Benz.

Anyways, staying there is good in ways that you can always take cold water shower -- anytime. I blamed it to psychology but that is one thing which I can never do back home in KL. (with the exception of Lise' place)

Besides, there is never a need for air-conditioner during the night because the air is pleasantly cooling and even better than to switch on the air-cond!

So, this morning, it was exactly the same. I was freezing cold when I woke up at 6 in the morning. Yeap, god-knows-why. I gotta go to the pasar just because my Gram insisted that some aunty in the van there has got the best chickens to offer. (Just to add, I went there before and after breakfast and that blardy aunty is still nowhere in sight. She ffk-ed)

Now, breakfast!!!!! That's Hakka mee behind with the toasted and steam bread in the front. Boy, Seremban Pasar Besar has got the BEST..uhm..correction...even BETTER than Old-Town Kopitiam's bread (I know, it's everyone's faves nowadays and mine too but haha..too bad, the one in Seremban still wins..and cost even less than those in Old Town). When it is toasted, the bread is crispy on the outside and creamy soft on the inner side. And if it's steamed, the bread goes warm and soft....inside out! ehem! Five words:

It has never fails me.

On the other hand, the Hakka mee already did. It used to be soft and moist with delicious minced pork but then, today, it just lost the charm. The mee was hard and...uhm...stringy like rubber bands.

Sighs, whatever it is, the uncles and aunties didn't feel the same because they are all ordering and giving their best support till the vendor was getting cocky. Yes, they are in the sense that IF you are not sitting at designated tables, they will easily forgo your orders. Well, they just don't mind having one less customer. Tee-heeee...

And all goes well with a good old Milo Kosong panas....

RM 7.00 for the whole breakfast of Hakka Mee (M), Milo Kosong and 2 slices of bread...yummy eh?


Then now Lunchie!! At this food stall opposite The Store.


They sell a variety of noodles (mihun, mee, keow teow...) but I don't recommend those. They are just...uhm....so-so...
But this is the Must Have.
Super oily and Super CRISPY! One word: Just take it when it's hot and fresh ;)
Look, I think there's about 40-50 balls here....and just fresh from the wok....(it might look a bit burnt but these are not photoshop-ed...so just except originality alright?)

But not long after, one specty guy bought 30 balls back....

The owner told us that they are preparing to pack-up for home and it's only 2pm. They said if they continue, it never ends. And if not it's because he knows my uncle, he wouldn't have fried another batch for us.
(really? cheh....)

He also added that his mother has been in this business for 50 years and thus perfected this Fried Balls which are a combination of chinese turnips and special flour.

I don't know if they have a secret recipe or not but I reckon it'd be like Ah Po's Dad Duck (Kung Fu Panda) theory. LOL.....

Wondering why there's no pictures/suggestions for dinner?
Hey, if you were me who had a hearty breakfast and a fattening lunch, I guess you'd just want to drink water and soup for dinner. I mean....alright....to be practical, even though I eat chocolates like nobody's business, I still gotta keep that waistline (since now that I barely even exercise due to ... exam .. sighs)

Hahaha you make me feel hungry!!! The fried balls look nice and so does the bread..! Love Old town bread, so this I suppose must be way better.

what is that fried ball?? it looks so yum. do u still remember the address?? i will try asking my friend in seremban to take me there to eat. XD

kath: LOL...actually come to think of it again, the bread is pretty normal because to be honest it isn't as crispy as those at Old town.

but i just love it eventhough it is taste nothing too special -- perhaps it's because the 'nostalgic taste' in it...uhm...as in it's not commercialized and nowadays these 'pillow bread' doesn't appear much in KL's kopitiam.

they somehow substituted these with gardenia's bread or those roti bom.

renaye: hie there! hehe...i don't rmb the add but you just ask ur friend to bring you to the food court behind The Store. It's next to that pusat kesihatan building, and located just in front of the huge 'drain'. btw, u shld try the Ice Kacang next to the pusat kesihatan too. it's cheap and with lotsa ingredients in it!

so, in summary, the pusat kesihatan is in between these food courts and it's just behind The Store.

i think the best time to go there is in between 10am to 12pm, 'coz sometimes when i went there after 2pm, the balls were all sold out. hehee..
