Lao-Ya-Keng ( 老爺間 ) – is a legendary Chinese food court and at the same time is also a Chinese opera theater. The plays happen in most of the Chinese Festival, such as Moon Cake Fest, Bak-Chang Fest, ‘The Others’ Fest & etc. And the food is of course all year round, men need food everyday…hehehe…

The ‘Cha-Kueh’ (Chinese fried Rice Cake) there is best, only available in sweet flavour (normally Cha-Kueh has two flavour, sweet & salty). Cha-Kueh is a kind of cake made from rice, then cut into small pieces and fried it with ingredients with a big flat-based wok. You need to be early if you like to get them, coz’ normally the business will call it a day in a few hours time of operation. Business too good that the Cha-Kueh finish in hours time.



The ‘Fish Ball Yong Tou-Fu’ there is well known trademark of that food court. Just look that the pic, see how fruitful the bowl is. Worth the money!

Those above two dishes mentioned only available from late morning to early evening. There is another side dish I would like to mention here, i.e. the pork Satay, best of the best. No picture shown here, because when we arrived there at 4.00pm and it has already sold out!!!…no more orders for us. : (


Some thing extra that day, a friend and spotted a collapsing or should I say been terminating building, somewhere near the Old Court House, the location of where the new ‘Merdeka Plaza’ will be. I believes, the old building has already full taken down by now. It is time for us to start hoping for bigger, newer building in near future.
