SOUP GEARBOX BEEHOON IN SG PETANI

OK SO THERE WE WERE, STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF SUNGAI PETANI ... when we suddenly decided we were hungry, so a friend who knows the place well directed us to a local Malay eatery which was open at lunchtime.



 Off we trotted then to the TAMAN RIA Medan Selera, behind a Petronas petrol station on the outskirts of town, and found Kak Bibah's popular eatery - it seemed to be popular, because there was even a queue forming to order their food. Luckily we got there just before!





I had some Ikan Goreng stuffed with rempah which was quite tasty.




, but also decided to try their Soup Gearbox with Bee Hoon ... although there wasn't any gearbox because they were all gone I think - at least, I could just see the large femurs put to one side.





The soup is cooked with a lot of cow innards, including the heart and other unmentionables so although our bowl (we were sharing one) came with just beef and was quite tasty, I have to admit to being quite a CHICKEN and being put off by it slightly. It is topped with spring onions and diced taufu, and accompanied by a large dollop of sweet chilli sauce.




It was served by this gorgeous young lady who was so sweet and explained to me that the bee hoon is dyed with kunyit.
