Kedai Kopi Wang City @ Iramanis

The other day our friend, Elaine was talking about a coffee shop in Foh Sang that serves delicious ngiu chap. Both Oliver and I have never heard of a ngiu chap place in Foh Sang, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived, it was already past 1.30pm and the coffee shop was in the midst of closing.

One staff told me that usually the shop stays open until after 2pm, but today they've run out of meatballs earlier in the morning. Business must be really good. Anyway, with heavy heart, we drove off and decided to see what Iramanis has in store. Enter Kedai Kopi Wang City.

First look

Located next to Capstone Christian bookstore, Kedai Kopi Wang City looks no different from the rest of the kopitiams around it. The menu are almost all written in Chinese, with the exception of some dishes which are shown in pictures, so you'd have to ask the staff to recommend which dishes to try.


We liked that the kopitiam is clean and quite breezy--as opposed to some kopitiams that can be quite hot and stuffy. 


Food & beverages
Kedai Kopi Wang City specializes in fish and seafood dishes. Their signature dish would be the kon lau mee with fish slices / wonton / fish balls in a choice of bitter gourd or ham choy (pickled mustard cabbage) soup (MYR6).

Another notable dish is the Korean fried noodle (MYR6)--a dish resembling Hokkien noodle and served with chicken breast meat, diced cucumber, potato and topped with sprinklings of sesame seed.

Other dishes on the menu include the pan mian, rice with minced pork and assam curry fish head soup.


As for drinks, you can order the usual soft drinks as well as nutritious homemade barley drink and lemongrass drink (MYR3).

Verdict
Oliver and I decided to try two of this kopitiam's best-sellers--I picked the kon lau mee with assorted seafood in ham choy soup while Oliver ordered the Korean fried noodle.

I was satisfied with the portion size of the kon lau mee. I'm usually very particular about portion sizes, but this one was just nice. It tasted delicious too! Best of all, the soup didn't have an oily film on top of it. Healthy and yummy!

The Korean fried noodle looked and tasted just like a plate of Hokkien fried noodle. The portion size was also decent.

Following the main course, Oliver also ordered the homemade fish tofu that is made of fresh dory fish. The fish tofu (MYR4) comes in four pieces per plate and was probably the priciest item on the menu. The fish tofu tastes good but its mushy texture might turn some people off.
