Slurp Slurp!

I love soups.

From Western's mushroom soup & seafood bisque to Asian's Vienamese beef noodle soup, tomyam, seaweed soup, miso soup, asam laksa, soto ayam, kuey teow soup, bihun soup, macaroni with shredded chicken soup and even soupy dishes like asam pedas, ikan singgang and 'kiam chai th'ng' (salty vegetable soup with tofu).

The cooking style for soups that i like best are mainly the clear-see through-simple ones like tomyam and chicken broth and......

......my MOST favorite of them all will be kuey teow soup. I love kuey teow soup since i was young and till now has been and will always be my number 1 comfort food. It is so comforting to the stomach that i don't mind having it for breakfast, lunch, dinner even supper if i must say so.

Just last night, i had a bowl at The Straits Cafe in BU Centrepoint.

This particular cafe serves mainly local delicacies from Malacca & Penang. You can expect some of the local favorites like asam laksa, char kuey teow and even baba nyonya dishes like pandan chicken, fried kangkung and lauk perut ikan.

Everytime i'm around Centrepoint, i will head straight to The Straits Cafe just to get my kuey teow soup. I like the one served by this cafe because of the simplicity and sedap-ness of the clear broth. So clear and simple and yet very tasty! Simple garnishing of shredded chicken, few pieces of fishballs, some shredded lettuce and garlic oil....ahhh, heaven! I'll make sure i eat it with chilli padi to give me that extra kick in the mouth!

Hot soup + Chilli padi = Very satisfying meal!!



Also everytime i order kuey teow soup, i will also order the chicken with crispy fried fuchok skin also known as 'lorbak'. If not mistaken, 'lorbak' is a chinese dish and usually they serve it with pork instead of chicken. But lucky for me, this cafe serves Halal chinese delicacies. =D

Also not forgetting that glass of either cold cincau or ice barley lime!!!
