Alhamdullilah. In gopeng, finally found one old style breakfast malay halal shop that serves wantan mee kicap, yong tau foo mix soup and good sambal to mix with! Sambal is spicy & tangy like good old days version. This is one breakfast spot for the locals to dine in and tapau before heading out for work. I like this place because this is an old shop next to one old chinese sundry shop in this small town of Pekan Gopeng. The staffs are also good, smiling and serve well.

At 1st i thought this was a chinese restaurant but when i went in, all the workers were malay muslim. The mee kari is good, but the iced coffee is superb . Even though it's not crowded but many locals came and tapau foods.

There was no signboard at all, which left me wondering why this shop had so many customers. Once I tried it, I understood why. Their mee kari is absolutely delicious! I paired it with iced coffee, and it was the perfect combo. I really hope this restaurant stays around for a long time. I’ll make sure to visit every time I pass by, insyaAllah.
