WG Baba Low Mee Siam

We went to the BON Estates building which is opposite Bangsar Shopping Center on Jalan Maarof, Bangsar with the intention to eat at The Good Co. eatery, only to discover to our dismay that they have moved to APW, Bangsar. My friend said it is very difficult to find a parking space at APW so we did not go there but went to Baba Low's which is nearby.

Back in Nov, 2014, we were told that Mee Siam was sold out so we ordered Noodle Soup. During our visit, my friends noticed that many customers were eating Mee Siam so both of them ordered a portion each at MYR 7.5 nett. It has two types of eggs - half a hard boiled egg and a few strips of thin omelette, slices of fish cake, sambal, strips of cucumber, and a lime.

Last year (2018), we ordered Pai Tee so this time, two of us ate one popiah at MYR 5.50 nett each.

This popiah wrapper (skin) is very similar to a pancake or crepe because it is doughy, soft and much thicker than the usual thin popiah skin. My friend cannot get used to it and so she removed the skin from 3 segments and left them uneaten. I finished my popiah because I like to eat doughy pancakes. The jicama is cooked with fermented soybeans paste (taucu) as I found some fermented soybeans in the roll. I am ok with this popiah but will not order it again because I don't like the jicama that is too soggy.

Apart from the popiah, I also ate this bowl of curry chicken without any rice because that piece of potato is enough to fulfill my carbs quota. There are about 3 pieces of chicken meat on bones. The curry does not have much coconut milk but has a strong taste of cloves as it is Nyonya Curry.

I found 3 cloves (bunga cengkih -  Syzygium aromaticum) in my bowl of curry which explain the strong taste of cloves.

Total price for 3 pax is MYR 40 nett. An average of MYR 13.33 nett per pax. I spent just MYR 14 nett for one popiah and a bowl of curry chicken. Ate everything and did not keep any for later.
