Kolo Mee anyone?

Chen revived his blog around 20 days ago and claims that no one knows about his blog.

Though there are only 2 posts so far, let’s give him a surprise shall we?

He seemed ecstatic after getting his blog url back xD

“I’m going out for lunch with Chen later, somewhere around 1130.”

“Where to?”

“Carpenter Street.”

“Sounds good, so what are you having?”

“Kolo Mee.”

*A brief moment of stillness*

Let’s tag along.

Chen, Dennis, Kelvin, Shao Wee, Zhi Wei and I set off to where we agreed to had our lunch earlier – Carpenter Street.

My 1st impression on our destination was just another common eating place with no air-conditioning (take note that I got used to the air-cond in Swinburne and almost could not live without it especially during one sunny afternoon).

Okay, the 6 of us were seated on one of the tables and waited for them to take the order of drinks and of course, food.

10 minutes passed. It sure is strange since the place isn’t large and yet there’s no one taking our orders.

Another 10 minute passed. A few of us began to feel uneasy due to the fiery hot weather.

After another 10 minute passed by, someone came and took our orders for drinks. Nothing tastes better than chilled Sundrop with extra ice cubes. At least we felt rejuvenated. Now for the Kolo Mee…

10 minutes passed. Most of us were very hungry and demanded asked Chen to place our orders. He rejected, saying that it is not a wise choice to do so.

Again another 10 minute passed. We waited patiently as Chen told us that we have to wait for our turn. My glass of sundrop is almost empty.

It seemed like eternity waiting for the next 10 minutes, we were left with some hope though – the spoon, chopsticks and chili with soy sauce were placed on our table and our orders were taken.

Luckily, the noodles and soup came at almost the same time. We waste no time devouring the noodles and the soup placed in front of us as if we were starved for days.

Chen was right; it isn’t a wise choice to rush our orders. Someone became the sacrificial lamb and rushed his orders and the owner said something like this:

If you cannot wait, you cannot eat; if you can wait, you can eat. UNDERSTAND!?

The portions served are definitely enough for anyone, anytime unlike the Swinburne cafeteria and ChiliPepper. 3 of us ordered a RM4 portion and another 3 ordered a RM6 portion. The RM6 portion is like enough to feed a family of 3 or even 4.

I’ll definitely come back to have Kolo Mee again in this shop. By the way, the name of this shop is Min Joo.

Min Joo is a famous local coffee shop that have been operated for most decades, in fact it is still a nice place to have super-nice kolo mee. You might but must have to wait and be patient to wait for the tauke to ask for order unless you'll get "shoot" if you lose your patient and bother him... It also serve nice Teh C Peng... Try it out, that drink served there can be as best as the Teh C Peng Special...
