NOT a food blog
Happiness is eating a simple bowl of noodles tossed in some dark sauce.
Happiness is slurping double-boiled soup flavoured with chinese herbs. Tender duck meat that literally falls off the bones saturates the soup with its essence.
Happiness is watching the steam fog up my glasses as I slurp up my noodles. The simplicity of which it is prepared, with just a sprinkling of chopped spring onions and sliced garlic, is a contrast to the complexity of its taste. Wolfberries add a natural sweetness to the taste of the soup.
Happiness is ending the meal with a glass of Iced Milo (extra kau, of course).
Kedai KopiΒ & Makanan Chun Heong
Lucky Garden
Kuala Lumpur.
Open morning and afternoon.
Food, for me, is a means to an end and not an end in itself.
Food, for me, represents the love of family, the fellowship of friends, and the community and communality it brings.

Happiness is logging on the web on a late Sunday afternoon and supping on Lady Lyrical’s latest culinary conquest. Ahhh…. (The sound of satisfaction, yes?)

happiness is when you think about the blissful meal you just had as you drive back home
happiness is when you remind urself of the happy meal you had, when you blog
and happiness is when you share this with us..
doesnt sound all that bad after all, does it?

Simplicity and happiness, I feel, go very well together and the food you showed us here, exemplifies that. I wish I could have some, really.
I like the new look – everything about it!

Bernsy: I feel that the noodles aren’t as good as the Bidor one, but the herbal soup can give those guys a run for their money.

daphne: thanks .:-)
team bsg: hahaha. I think I know who you’re referring to!
Barbie: Sorry girl, but I didn’t check. Went straight for duck! Will check out next time i’m there!

My passion for such duck soup noodle was when I had them for the first time in Bidor! & got hooked since then! Now you make me wonder if I should drive to Bidor now?

Of savoury noodles I fancied,
Of a whiff of herbs I envied,
Of flaky duck meat you feed,
Happiness, you saidβ¦indeed.
