One of my good friend, WX's parents opens a stall here, selling drinks, bread, small packs of nasi lemak etc. We always ended up ordering drinks from this stall. WX's mom had always been very fond of Dogma. She always laughs a lot whenever she talks to Dogma, giving him a nickname called "Chi Char Kong" (Talkative King?).
Demona: Dogma ordered a glass of Nescafe Peng and I ordered a White Coffee Peng. My all time favourite drink from this place was the Green Coffee Peng, but the supplier for this coffee just suddenly disappeared. Probably embezzled some money. Since then, my thirst for Green Coffee was left unquenched.
Demona: We ordered a piece of toast bread with kaya and butter too. The toast bread gives an extremely homey feeling when I ate it!
Maybe it was the whole package: being back at our own hometown, authentic kopitiam style, cooling air at night and the best part of all...... DIRT CHEAP!
Two drinks, and toast bread, RM 3.00. Two coffee drinks and toast bread in Old Town White Coffee cafe, RM 7.00. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Demona: Although we were both BURPING the whole way through from our own home cooked dinner not long ago, Dogma could not resist trying out some dishes in Siang Malam. After scavenging around, he ordered a bowl of curry soup with chopped bean curd skin, dumplings and fish balls with some meat in them. RM 3.30. The soup was spicy, flavourful and not too thick. It was quite enjoyable, just drinking the soup itself. I gobbled up the sambal, mixing it with each spoonful of soup. Dogma looked at me, and continued shaking his head.
Verdict: Cheap! Delicious! Great atmosphere! We will never get bored of this place. We will continue coming here until we our skin sag, our hair turn grey and we own great grandchildren. I hope Siang Malam will continue on with its business for the many generations to come.
