Treats from Imbi

If Malaysia was a treasure chest of many delicious food, then the Imbi area in KL is certainly a secret compartment in this treasure chest. Managed to wake up in time for breakfast today to revisit Imbi Market, one of my favourite breakfast spots of all time. Food is good and service is fast, the 2 most crucial criterion for any place to be considered a great breakfast place.

Everytime I go with my family, the coffeeshop staff (actually, the owner) knows exactly what we need and brings us our usual morning meal without us having to say anything. Usual means kaya toast, half-boiled egg, iced coffee for dad, hot barley drink for mum. As for myself, I had Milo today. To top off the basic meal, we shared dried wonton noodles, popiah and chee cheong fun. The popiah here is fantastic! the skin is not too thick, and some of the contents are still crunchy.

At night, after a fantastic dinner at Kampachi with my friends from Mauritius and Malaysia, I went to satisfy my craving for Fried Hokkien Mee at Ming Hing, a corner shop at the end of Jalan Imbi. It was heavenly! It started to rain halfway as I was eating with my family. Funny thing was, instead of going indoors for shelter, we started eating faster and faster, trying to finish before the rain gets heavier. I thought it was hilarious. One thing for sure was we left for home contented, full, and happy.
