Boy...jam jam jam..practically the moment I leave home ..jam all the way on all roads heading to Seremban Highway. Thankfully, the highway was quite clear...but I never like driving down south (relative to driving up north or east). Somehow..I find drivers going down south are ...rude. And they are dangerous.
Anyway..got to Seremban safely...in about an hour.
Headed straight to Quinn Seremban Beef Noodles at: Jalan Tioman 6, Kemayan Square.
Very easy to find..head towards Seremban town after the toll...keep right and turn right at 2nd traffic light..Kemayan Square is just there...like 3 mins after the toll.
The Original & Famous Seremban Beef Noodles is actually located at the Seremban Martket, but that stall closes at 11am. Quinn was started by the daughter of the founder stall.
Verdict??
Well..the place is very clean and cooling..cos it's air conditioned.
But..the noodles....hmm..sorry...I have to disagree with KT and all other bloggers who gave good recommendations.
According to EatingAsia ..this noodle dish echos the taste of those served in the founders' hometown of Haikou....they're Hainan-style, "adjusted for Malaysian taste."
Personally...it just doesn't suit my Cantonese taste bud.
First bite..itself..I tasted something funny / weird...in it. It's starchy. Has sesame seeds. Peanuts.
And...
wth. How in the world can salted vege blend with beef noodles..and all the the above ingrdients. Thinking back..it's like eating rojak ..with beef parts, and noodles. Strange.
My apologies. This is just my (and my dad who was with me) personal opinion. There are loads of people out there who absolutely love this dish.
Well..ok...I tried it! It was good experience. And a good way to spend a day-off away from the city and normal routines.
Oh ya..Nescafe Shake was GOOD ^.^
Total cost of meal for two persons..RM24.00
If you are keen to try..there's a stall in Sec 17 selling almost exactly the same style of beef noodles . Click HERE for more info. No need to go so far :-) Try it out..and let me know if you like it.
After lunch..drove around Seremban town..to get a feel. Dropped by the market. Had cendol - nice!
By the way..I don't think I like Seremban. Very congested. Not very friendly drivers. Stressful driving condition. The roads are so confusing that I accidentally (or rather forced) to drive into a very dark carpark (either for a bus terminal or a bnearby mall)...guess what..the cashier...insisted that I had to pay the entrance fee of RM2.10 before going out..IDIOT.
..we were back at Kemayan Square at night (after PD)...looking for food.
Dad wanted something simple.
This is termed as "char kuih-kark" at the stall..Fried Carrot Cake..actually.
RM3.50 only..by the look of it..you can tell right? that it's definitely 10 times better than KL's version.
Char Kuey Teow..RM3.00..basic ingredient. but nice.
I'm so stuffed.
Think I will just smell food at tomorrow's gathering at PPL's.
Food is a personal taste and sure you are entiteld to your opinion. but the manner of your writing is un gracious un professional. For example , To comment about a town being congested or the people are rude, etc is most undiplomatic. Saying " weird " about certain ingredients in the dish, shows your mindset is closed and not open to new flavours or styles. Trying new tastes is part of being a foodie. Clearly you are no foodie. wahts more, Rude people or drivers are found everywhere. Grow up !!! ( ps i am NOT from Seremban ).
