We woke up pretty early after a good night’s sleep and
headed down to Kampung Cina (Chinatown) for breakfast.
Among the things we cannot find in Kuala Lumpur is a simple
loaf of 1Roti Paun (pronounced with two syllables, usually Pa-Ong or
Pa-Ung).
1little butter buns (literally?)
There’s a small quaint little coffee shop (albeit a little
rundown) in Kampung Cina that stands right beside the bridge where the
Terengganu river used to flow, before all that land reclamation. Its called Sin
Phin Siang (we have no idea what it means) and it opens at the crack of dawn.

| right proper local celebrities they are! |

| they've stood the test of time |
 |
| ever ready with a smile |
 |
| quaint (and a little rundown) |
Brendan (as always) ordered his usual plate of 2Char
Kueh Teow; Cat ordered the 3Mee Goreng while I had a bowl of 4Bee
Hoon Soup.
Oh, and of course a serving of Roti Paun with its natural
accompanying condiment, the inimitable 5Kaya.
2flat rice noodles stir-fried over very high heat
with light and dark soy sauce, chili, a small quantity of belachan, and
depending on the region usually with whole prawns, de-shelled cockles, bean
sprouts, chopped Chinese chives and egg
3stir fried yellow egg noodles
4rice vermicelli soup
5coconut jam, a food spread or fruit curd made
from a base of coconut milk, eggs and sugar

| Cat's Mee Goreng |
 |
| my (very soy-saucy) Bee Hoon Soup |
 |
| we're good to go |
 |
| but of course! |
Our bellies filled, we’re all fired up to go gallivanting!
 |
| very very old establishment |
 |
| hard at work |
 |
| wok-king up a storm |
And in case you’re wondering breakfast cost us no more than
RM15.
