I would give straight away 5 stars for the nostalgic feel when I step into this place. A feel that brought me back to my childhood days. So many antiquity in the shop, I was almost blown away by Agnes Chan's LP on the wall. Sitting in the restaurant where "风从那里来", "水长流", "左三年右三年" and other Chinese oldies but goodies playing in the background, it is as if I have traveled back in time.
This is the second time I walk into this place alone. I want to try the food again without other people around. I ordered a few item that was different from yesterday but, I cannot resist the Wonton Noodles and pig's trotter so one round for me.
When the food came, the noodles and trotter live up to their reputation. It was great. Especially for the noodles with black sauce, it's called Ama (grandma) Noodles but clearly it's typical Malaysian Wonton Noodles. One would able find this dish in most Malaysia coffee shop. It's a meal for the common folk. A simple meal that reminds me of my childhood days and my time in Penang.
The noodles was well cooked and the sauce is not overwhelming. Even though dumplings are a little miniature, but it taste good. The BBQ pork is dry, but forgivable as this is a common folk food. I would come back for more.
As for the Dim Sum, it is not too bad. It's not the best however, for the price it is acceptable. I cannot believe the amount of Dim Sum in this place, almost 50 items plus, stir fried Noodles and vegetables and also 肉骨茶. (Bah Kut Teh) Therefore, I believe anyone can find something for themselves as early as 6 am in Hat Yai.
A little disappointing with the fish maw soup but as the saying goes, "once bitten twice shy" so I wouldn't recommend this dish at all. However, this is still a great place for breakfast. With a pot of great 普洱, the experience become magical.
