Kam Fatt Noodles, Tengkat Tong Shin

Along Tengkat Tong Shin, one can find lots of good hawker fare. There's Ngau Kee Beef Noodles, Meng Kee's famous Char Siew, Adik Beradik Chua's Fish Ball Noodles and Pork Noodles and Restoran Chin Hai's Sar Hor Fun which also has other noodles (I like the curry wantan noodle "sang meen" here, will blog on that another time). There's also this one stall located further down the road. Just walk pass Meng Kee, then pass Adik Beradik Chua and you'll find Restoran Kam Fatt (another non-halal place).
They sell lots of stuff. On the five foot way, they have the usual fare of limited dim sum available. They also sell chee cheong fun, loh mai fan (glutinous rice), carrot cake and an assortment of local kuih. The stall further in sells noodles and economy rice with some pretty tasty looking dishes available. They are open for breakfast early from 7plus am till late lunchtime (the last I know of).
This lady originally ran the place together with her family, serving noodles only at the lane next to this shop lot. Business got better and in time, I was told, they bought the whole shop lot next door (the floors above it too, that's where they live!) and expanded the business, providing more variety. I usually come here for the noodles; soup and curry, depending on my mood. What I like about this place here is that you can choose what ingredients you want with your noodles. Besides the all important deep fried intestines, they have foo chook (beancurd sheets), square & round pork balls, fish balls, chicken and cockles. I might have missed out a few. They had me at deep fried intestines! LOL!

I normally order foo chook and shredded chicken meat and a separate dish of the crispy intestines. I don't like it soaking in the soup as it would then be no longer crispy. This is usually my ritual when I eat noodles here:-
1) Dunk a few of the intestines into the bowl.
2) Down a spoon of noodles along with one or two of them.
3) When "stock" runs low, repeat Step 1, followed by Step 2.
4) Repeat cycle until finish.
Lyn having a sore throat that day, opted for bee hoon soup with shredded chicken meat and fish balls. Both the soup and the curry are good, whichever one fancies. The soup version in my opinion comes across as home-cook stock, which is good. Not sure if you know what I mean. I like eating the soup noodle with their slightly sweet chilli sauce which seems to go well together. This is the only place where I opt for chilli sauce with the soup noodle over the fresh cut chillies/cili padi. Oh, they also serve good kopi peng, which is local ice coffee (I have mine "gau"-strong!).

They have been around for maybe more than 30 years; I recall that I've been eating from this stall since I was a primary student! I remember well that Dad used to pack the noodles home for me. Ahhh....happy memories; refreshed each time I frequent this place :o)

It's surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
