16 Kopitiam — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

As I drove towards Sungai Way on Sunday morning, the sky became darker and darker signalling that it was about to rain. However it didn't dampen my spirit to search for the elusive yam rice place inside the new village.

The Kopitiam has only one stall operating that morning - not sure about the rest though. Manned by an old Hakka couple, we asked for what was available. One bowl of yam rice, two bowls of mixed pork soup (one with and one without spare parts) and a bowl of braised pork trotter + egg.

◾Yam rice was the best tasting version so far. The rice was not clumpy and had a beautiful aroma that I almost ordered second helping. ◾Mixed pork soup - the liver was cooked nicely, while the intestines and kidney had no foul taste at all. In my definition, perfect! The cili padi had a good spiciness kick. ◾Braised pork trotter - easily sucked all the skin and collagen off the bone. Not too salty. ◾Kopi C Kosong - surprised that the Kopi here was actually good.

I was drenched a bit by the time I entered the car, but the breakfast made everything worthwhile. For now, this has got to be the best yam rice + mixed pork...

The corner coffee shop is located at the junction of Jalan SS9A/2 and Jalan SS9A/9. The stall occupies the front part of the coffee shop and is opposite Tho Guan Seng Chinese Temple. Finding a car parking spot near to the restaurant wasn’t easy. As far as I know there is no stall/ restaurant selling mixed pork soup with pig innards in Petaling Jaya area. The last time I took such soup was in Klang. Nowadays, youngsters usually shy away from innards.

Food • Braised Pork Trotter in dark soy sauce (lou jee giok) • Mixed Pork Soup comprising ham choy, pork ball, pork belly, intestine, stomach, liver and some Chinese Celery (daun sup in Malay) • Taro (wrongly called yam) Rice • Braised Tofu • Braised Egg

The Braised Pork Trotter was soft and tender. Together with the thick gravy, it was fabulous. Equally good was the taro rice – soft and fragrant. The dark soy sauce gravy made the egg and tofu taste...

My first visit here to try the yam rice with mixed pork soup (猪杂汤). 16 kopitiam, as the name suggest, a kopitiam with stalls selling different food. You can find here Chee Cheong Fun (猪肠粉), curry noodle, pork noodle, wantan mee etc. The yam rice with pork soup are famous for people in Sg Way and PJ. If you are pork organ lover, this is the stall you must not miss. They serve pork liver, kidney, intestine, tongue, heart etc. Also on their stall are braised pork, tofu and egg. The yam rice was actually very good, top with fried shallots with good flavor. The pork soup was clear but yet with strong pork flavor. Highly...
