Florence's Nyonya Delights - Section 17, Petaling Jaya

A while back, I made a valiant attempt to wake up early when Ash told me about her relative's stall in Section 17 that sells Nyonya goodies. Since it's only open early in the morning (and I was told that usually all the goodies are sold out within the first couple of hours or so), I found myself standing in front of the busy stall one early Saturday morning at around 7 plus am (unbelievably so that I managed to wake up!).

I was amazed at the variety this little stall had. Florence, the owner, and her family runs this stall selling all sorts of Nyonya delights (with recipes passed down from one generation to the next!).

The Savoury Pumpkin Angku (glutinous rice flour cake with different type of fillings, in this case - Pumpkin) caught my eye but in my haste to snaps photos (as I was holding back customers!), I forgot about it till much later and it was gone...sold out! Sob!




Assorted Puffs - There's Chicken & Egg Curry, Chicken, Durian and also Baked Siew Pau too.

All the items are homemade - Chiffon Cakes, Assorted Puffs, Yam Cake, Nyonya Kuih and many others, using only natural colouring, natural flavours with no preservatives.

But one of the main reasons why I was really there? I was told that Florence dishes out good Mee Siam (one of my favourite noodles!) and I just had to try it. At RM3.30/USD1 a box, it was tasty indeed and much better than the ones sold in malls like Ikano.

The sambal was good and aromatic with enough spices and onions. It added plus points to this "economy" style Mee Siam.

Most importantly, the rice noodles weren't the brittle type (using the right type of rice noodles for Mee Siam is essential!).

I tried the chicken & egg curry puff too which was delicious. I enjoyed this early morning breakfast stop in Section 17 and there are still many more items which I have yet to try. Now, there's one more good reason for me to get up early in the morning ;o).
