A typical grocery run turned mini road trip.

Decided to keep going straight to Kluang to try the famous Beef Noodles at Old Pasar Kopitiam. 130km drive, with 30km going through the small roads cutting through Palm plantations. Therapeutic. Accompanied by Bob Segar, CCR, Willie Nelson. Anticipating the bowl of Bovine goodness.

Managed to find a parking lot near the coffeeshop. Game on.

Game off!!! Gawdamit! Stall was closed. The Rumble in the Bronx was loud. The anger and disappointment was just as obvious.

So, I walked out of the coffeeshop, head hung low, and dragged my sorry arsed feet to the car and drove around, and bam! I saw the word "牛". I is need 牛s, by hook or by crook. No Vegan lines will hold me back. Be injured or have some Beef shoved down your throat. I'm a very hungry and angry Singaporean.

Ordered the Special Shortrib and Mix, a bowl of white rice, and a cuppa. Since Kluang is rather known for their coffee. Kena bluff. Instant coffee tastes similar.

The order came and boy, was I happy.

First spoon of the broth, and I know for sure, the Steer died for a good cause. It tasted like a watery Beef Stew. With tonnes of fried Shallots and freshly chopped green onions, man. The flavors were as good as Charlie pooping Skittles. Angels blaring their trumpets too.

The Short rib was slide off the bone. Brisket was oh so tender. Tripes were ... tripey? Tendons were gelatinous, which I really loved. Them Beefballs were ok. Nothing to shout about.

Chili dip was POWER! Coming from someone who knows no limit in chili heat, it was definitely a lot spicier than most places selling Beef Noodles in Singapore. So, you've been warned. Its tartness helps breakdown the grease in the soup, from the Beef fats. Shiok I tells you.

Because of this place and the food, all the negatives were canceled. Fruitful trip, fatty tummy. Done!

Damage was RM39.30.

Add another RM12.00 for a two person sharing portion. I'll do just that when I next visit Kluang, but I'll still need to try the originally intended place first.
