Some colleagues suggested that we go to Weng Soon Jaya for lunch. I immediately agreed, as I am a fan of the stall that serves pig stomach pepper soup there. The no-frills soup plus white rice is very welcomed, especially on a dreary raining day. I had to queue up a bit as it is self service. Their soup is so good that people don’t mind queuing up for ages just to get some soup. The pig stomach pepper soup is piping hot, very delectable. Slightly spicy and salty, it goes very well with the white rice. The ingredients include pig stomach, slices of pork, peanuts and the optional chicken feet. Priced at RM6 a set, it was well worth the amount paid.

The waiter recommended my friend to try their lemongrass tea. I seconded the waiter, and my friend decided to take our word for it. The cold lemon tea in Serai Restaurant is quite nice, based on my experience. The tea taste was very apparent, just like how a good mamak stall would make it. A slight taste of lemongrass it in, not too overwhelming, but just nice enough to spice up the tea. The ice diluted it some, but still a bery acceptable drink. Not too sweet, just right. Priced at RM7.50, it was well worth the amount paid.

The drink sounds rather unappetising. However, serai really wasn' the main ingredient. Lychee was. The awesome taste comes from blended lychees, tinned I believe. Pieces of lychees were still floating in the drink, with a tinge of lemongrass tsate. The unique combination is quite compatible, and very delicious. Not too sweet, it was very cleansing to the palate. There was a whole piece of lychee adorning the top, which was a nice touch. Piriced at RM10.50, it was well worth the amount paid.

Beef koay teow, or beef hor fun as stated in the menu, was acceptable, though not top notch. It was slightly different than the Chinese version, where the gravy has eggs in it. The dish came piping hot, which was good. The koay teow was lightly seared, hence it was light brown in colour. The gravy has a heavy oyster sauce taste, which was fine, just that it doesn't taste as good without eggs. The slices of beef weren't that many, probably about four to five pieces only. There were lots of vegetables though. Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, snow peas, baby corn and even black fungus. Overall just so-so.

Wifey ordered the nasi lemak, her usual fare in Serai. I was pleased, as I wanted to have some too. The dish came piping hot, and the rice fluffy and full of santan taste. There was a generous helping of fried peanuts and crunchy anchovies, with a couple of slices of cucumbers. There was also a small pot of prawn sambal, spicy and delicious. The highlight of the meal has got to be the fried chicken thigh. Big and juicy, it was most enjoyable. Priced at RM16 per plate, it is definitely well worth the amount paid.
