Kedai Kopi Kok Wai, Taiping Perak
Something utterly splendid happened this Sexy Oxy Chinese New Year. A hysteri.. oops historical event. I DID NOT JOIN THE an-hour-a-KM EXODUS BACK TO HOMETOWN! My elders came over to the city! *pump both arms in air jubilantly* Their drive? A-second-a-KM easily.
No heavy traffic - vehicles & humans. No egg-frying heat. No early mornings dragging heavy eyelids to relatives' homes. No sitting idly at nosy relatives' with a consistent smile plastered on while defending repetitive questions at M16 velocity for hours. No whole day everyday steamboat meals at all relatives' homes. Ahhh a really blissful holiday. =D)))
Okay back to clearing my major backlog of food posts.
Remember my very personal opinion of food in scenic Taiping? Do go here to jog memory. This is another of my very few favourites there.
Clear Soup Noodles with Curry Shrimps.
They have Curry Noodles too (lined up in the background of the picture) but my order will always be the ‘Ch’ng-thong’ with extra curry shrimps.

Being a coffee shop / kopitiam, an order of baked (not toast since it’s done in a mini tabletop oven) slices of bread is quite a norm. But not for me as it’s laden with kaya and margarine, not butter. Aiyak. Cannot find the picture.
Fight to buy companions breakfast since :-1 x bowl of noodles RM2.20
1 x iced beverage RM1.00
1 x serving of toast RM0.xx (sorry, cannot recall)
(price indicated here was way back in 3rd quarter of 2008)
Location: Sad to say, no calling card but it’s at a lane off Jalan Tupai, directly opposite Bank Islam. Picture below is snapped from where we sat on one occasion.

Nice for sharing this food outlet as I usually patronized the same ones that I know of.
ch'ng tong for me too! curry shrimps? nice...
Oh. I want, I want. I'm already a big fan of the Cham Ais @ Village Park. This Cham Ping looks even more delicious! :D
It's been too long since I went out of town. Enjoying the visual feasts on your blog. :-) Chng thong with curry shrimps sounds like a potent combo!
You escaped the rellies?? And traffic? How awfully excellent! I survived, but just barely. Surely this is the last year I HAVE to do this. I like my curry noodles thick and coconutty!

550ml jar of faith, one of the rare CNY holiday where I crawled out all fresh and rejunevated.
