You can’t please everybody. Someone asked me what the noodles and kelondong drink looked like. Good thing I turned around and ‘stole’ or ‘curi’ a shot from the neighbouring table before we ordered.
I asked permission from the strangers though. The proximity of tables in this crowded restaurant means, we being first timers, could hear and cue in on what everyone were ordering. Restaurant 168 is non-halal.

We stumbled upon the best wantan (mee) soup this side of town by chance. The wontons include a big sui kow dumpling and the regular wontons had bite size prawns in it. Wonderful stuff. The noodles and char siew were buried underneath when I scooped the wontons and vegetables onto the ‘kon lo’ noodles plate.

Only thing I didn’t like was the drink recommended by the Indonesian waitress. Sar Lay Shin Mui or Kelondong fruit with sour plum drink. The fruit is known as Spondias dulcis or ambarella or jew plum. I think they blended it with all the skin intact. The drink tasted too raw and greenish. Anna liked it though.

Retaurant 168 is at 1 Jalan Brunei Utara, Pudu, 55100 Kuala Lumpur and is non-halal.
