Kuala Lumpur is not famed for its food; as much as Penang or Malacca.
But.
It is a haven where all the food from almost all the states in Malaysia come together.
Ever since I left Kuching for good, boy… do I miss the food.
I tried to comfort myself by slurping the replicated versions in Sibu, but none comes as close.
But these days, I hardly go back as often as before to Sibu too.
And surprisingly, I chanced upon this place when a friend introduced me to a very good popiah at this coffeeshop.
Popiah was very good. Even a class above the average popiah. But it was not popiah that stole my heart; but these two below:

| Sarawak Laksa in Kuala Lumpur |
And may I say, holy camoly. Both dishes packed with the exact flavours from Sarawak.
Both contain that Sarawakian essence that I cannot describe here.
It can only be sensed by a true Sarawakian palate.

| Kolo Mee in Kuala Lumpur |
I love them.
I love Auntie Christina (Laksa stall operator).
The only problem is that this coffeeshop is jam-packed and filled to the brim everyday.
If you crave for kacangma chicken (Motherwort herb and alcohol infused chicken stew) you can get it here too. I think only on Saturdays and Sundays.
Love you lots, and love you long time.
Keep up the Sarawakian spirits you two.

Ok, so this is good eh? Gotta spread the word...an alternative to Auntie Christina.
this is aunt christina's and her neighbour's kolo mee.
i know there are mixed reviews about her laksa and the kolo mee there. but i spoke perfect hokkien to them, and they instantly recognised that i am from their homeland and hence the more effort in preparing the food maybe :) i have been there several times; when they are not utterly busy, they do take their time to meticulously prepare the food; i must say, very top-notched delicious!
