The family use to patronise Woo Lan quite frequently till it shifted from it's zinc roof shack (I remember, they use to have the water sprinklers on to cool the roof in the daytime!) to a proper shoplot. I wonder why we stopped going? Lost its charm due to the move? Not sure why actually. But finally, we did get round to having dinner in Woo Lan; dining on some old favourites. Some things never change...yes, it may be an oldie but it's still a golden goodie! Yup, the family needs to be reminded about this place now and then ;o), we all need a such a reminder (such as this post). It's easy to forget with all the new restaurants that keeps appearing as time goes by (while some fade away in our memories as their doors close for business due to such changes or economic reasons). Are there any restaurants that you have loved in the past and miss; now that it's no longer here?
So, let's us remember ...
Woo Lan looking foreign to us ... but the food remains the same

When I first knew this place, it is already at is current location! When you mention shack, it reminds me of Lim Kee behind FGA.
We still love Woo Lan! The claypot prawns & glass noodles very memorable :D

Jason : Come, let us go and makan together soon...
Babe_KL : Oh yes, I love that too! Thanks for the "nom" compliment!
The fried pork belly definitely can win my heart *nom*nom* I still remember my 1st tried on it, oh..so divine!
choi yen : Yes, always something that's good to remember!
Is it still good? I suggested this place but so many ppl been saying that its not as good anymore..
jinx : Obviously Woo Lan has lost some of its charm when they relocated. Can't miss with their few signature dishes but am sure a more rustic surroundings like its old location would have added points to the overall experience.
