 UP DATED ON 13th JUNE 2011 (i.e. MON)

On 13th June 2011 Morning, I had a strong urge to eat the Hokkien Mee at Kedai Kopi Swee Kong because I have not patronized the stall for a long time. When I ordered the Hokkien Mee, I noticed there was a new price list which was placed in the glass cabinet and realized that the prices have been increased by RM0.50.

No. 06 : A Bowl of Hokkien Mee

RM3.00 per Small Bowl

The Taste was still remained unchanged

Although the price has been increased by RM0.50, the quantity did not increase. In fact, I felt that the quantity has became lesser than before.

Hussain Sate is very popular among the people who are living in Balik Pulau and nearby.
It is located in the 'Kompleks Gerai Makan' beside the 'Kompleks Pasar Awam Balik Pulau' of Lintang Bukit Penara 1. The Number of Stall is # 59.

The grandfather was a satay vendor behind the old cinema near the old market of Balik Pulau. He used to set up his stall just liked the old malay movies (B&W) with 2 baskets and a few small stools around.

I was given to understand that this satay business has been passed down to 3 generations.
