New eatery - Good Corner Coffeeshop
A new coffeeshop/hawker centre has opened in Jalan Mas, just behind the Green Lane Caltex petrol kiosk.
It used to be a restaurant which served chinese style dishes, but it soon closed down and changed a few hands (Tauree Restaurant is one of them). Now it houses this spanking new coffeeshop named Good Corner Coffeeshop.
Stalls include economy rice, curry fish head, chee cheong fun, claypot chicken rice, fish head beehoon/ seafood porridge/tomyam mee, char hor fun/ee fu mee/hokkien char, wantan mee, hokkien mee, mee mamak, curry mee, jawa mee, char koay teow, western food. Some of the stalls are still unoccupied.
Everything seems so new, including the sellers. Some looked like it is their first business. All the utensils and their cooking equipment are stainless!! I was looking at the claypots used in two different stalls (curry fish head and claypot chicken rice) and I can’t helping thinking how new they are at operating a hawker stall because all the claypots are beige (original) in color instead of black!

This is the western food stall, which looks the most interesting compared to the rest.
Kuantan Road Curry Mee - RM 2.50
Is there a famous curry mee in Kuantan Road? We were wondering, so just ordered a bowl and try.
By verdict from the looks, it’s not appetizing! My dad, who is an avid eater of curry mee, says the soup is cold and not fragrant. Could the reason be that our order is actually the last bowl available before they run out of soup?
The chillies, which is suppose to add an extra oomph to the dish, was not up to mark as well.

Char Hor Fun - RM 3.50
This is at least more standard and taste alright. The portion is also within expectation! We saw the next table ordered Hokkien Char and it looks good too!

Grill Black Pepper Chicken with rice - RM 4.00
ABC soup was served with this.
Personally, I think there was too little black pepper and not aromatic although the meat is tender. Instead, I enjoyed the soup more than the main dish! The soup was sweet and taste very home-cooked.

Looks like most of the sellers there are very new to the food business and it might take some time before they can whip up some delicious hawker food affair.
At night there are more stalls, among them, lok lok and satay.
Anyway if you are very conscious about cleanliness, then visit this place since it’s still very new and everything is very clean.
I wonder how long this coffeeshop can survive, without any famous/attractive food stalls.

When I read the title of Kuantan curry mee, I was actually saying to myself, a food that need to give a try but then reading the review… sounds it’s better to leave it out from the list of the must try food, hehehe…

Yeah we were curious too and their soup is almost sold out although some stalls has just opened. So we thought it was good. But it turned out to be below average!
