Meng Kee Satay Bee Hoon, East Coast Lagoon Food Centre

Why should i even bother giving my two cents' worth about this place? if i'm not wrong, everyone knows about it. I've eaten here since i was young, so it always puzzles me when ppl say they haven't tried it, or even heard about it. my take? go try it. at least ONCE. the peanut sauce is so creamy and good on its own. its like lapping up peanut paste in its spicy form. the generous helping of cuttlefish and cockles is a bonus. love the meat and liver. love the kangkong. love the beehoon =) Having it for supper last night made me realise how deprived i was..havent had this in like a year? i bought back a packet for my dad and i shared it with him! talk about not having enough. i like this stall too cuz the $2 portion is enough for me, even though prices go up to $5. but then again, you can never have too much of meng kee's satay beehoon. to think it was our 3rd choice of places to go to. 1st was old airport road for fu chou fishball noodles and oyster omelette: parked the car at the multi-storey car park, walked all the way down, realised all the stalls were closed - either they are relocating, or its cuz it's monday. 2nd was geylang for yong he and beef kway teow: went a few rounds and still failed to get a parking lot. since my previous meal was at 12noon, i really thought i was gg to pass out in the car, after which daniel will probably just roll me out and leave me along the roadside.

anw, back to meng kee's: i never fail to have sth to complain though. if you've seen the uncle making the beehoon, you'll know why the queue is so long. maybe it's just his style, but i am almost convinced that he is being slow on purpose. i cannot understand why he takes some meat and puts it on ur plate, then removes a piece, puts it back into his big bowl of meat, then takes the exact same piece and puts it back onto ur plate. and he does it repeatedly, for every single customer. oh well..the things in life...
