Met up with the trio at Uncle Lim's in Ikano, opposite The Curve in Mutiara, Damansara this afternoon. We tried some of the signature pieces of this establishment (one in a line of 'kopi-tiam wannabes from yesteryear!') ...

Uncle Lim's Laksa - As described by Uncle Lim, "The thick, creamy and aromatic gravy for this unique noodle dish is a concoction of de-boned mackerel, blended fresh herbal spices, suntan and milk. The noodle is actually Italian spaghetti and the taste is actually …………….mmmmm!!!" And, as described by Ye, "So so lah"

Kaya Toast & Half Boiled Egg - As described by Uncle Lim, "This humble traditional Malaysian snack is enjoyed by our forefathers in days gone by. Traditional roti slices is toasted over charcoal ember till golden brown. Electric toasters would have been convenient but we believe that the difference is well worth the extra efforts. The result is a crisp slice of toast with a soft centre. A good helping of homemade kaya is spread on one slice and premium grade Australian butter on the other slice. The result?? …………Mmmmm, just like those days,............ SYOK only!!" And, Half Boiled Eggs - "‘A’ grade omega 3 enriched eggs are scalded to perfection. Add premium grade light soya sauce and a dash of pepper and the resultant is a hot favourite among young and old. How else can one explain the continual orders of this item from our opening till our closing time". And, as described by Ye, "Egg is good, lemak!" Jules says, "Kaya toast, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmh!"

Coffee - Jules says, "Strong, good traditional taste of CONDENSED MILK, can't go wrong with that!"

Cham (Aka hybrid of COFFEE + TEA!) - Dunno what Ye said, but he had TWO, must have been good!

Soya Cincau (Aka MICHAEL JACKSON) - Love it! Better then Jenny Hung's opposite Jaya Supermarket. What's most special about Uncle Lim's soya-cincau is the fineness of the strands of cincau, which complements the soya which is not too sweet, darn good!

As a dessert (!), we had some Sister's CRISPY POPIAH (purchased from a little stall near Uncle Lim's / opposite Bread Story) ... Very nice! But pricey at RM$4.90 for the two.

Finally ... Decided to give the ol' DoggyMobile a work-out driving home ... but was nowhere as quick as that Scooby STI!
