walking and asking around... for "char yuen"
the old bus station...
passed by an old shopping store..
and finally we found them!
One auntie told us that this place is called "36 stalls"
there are 36 stalls here...
and we stopped at where the crowd was....
so this is the stall that sells "char yuen"
I smelled Laksa too.. but we were too full to try...
opted for a bowl of ice kacang instead...
and these are Char Yuen !!
(fried balls)
and you know how much they cost???
You won't believe it..
They only cost 10 sen each!!
(usd 3 cents)
GOSH... talking about cheap.....
never heard of 10 sen food for so long already!
This place is cheap for food

ReplyDelete10 cents??? Do the stall operator know that it's 2011 now, RM0.10 carries almost zero value already... Must go and try it out one day.

You can't get anything for that price here, people won't even pick up one cent on the street if they see it laying there. So what is this, bread, meat??
