Kuey Chap

I was hunting for food after my gym workout last Wednesday. There wasn't much choice around Rambo Gym, as the Swee Bee Chicken Rice Shop was closed. As I was rushing for my bus journey back to KL, I ended up ordering a bowl of kuey chap from Restoran Soon Lai, which is directly below Rambo Gym.

Kuey chap is a Teochew dish of flat, broad rice sheets in a soup made with dark soy sauce, served with pig offal, braised duck meat, various kinds of beancurd, preserved salted vegetables, and braised hard-boiled eggs. I opted for beancurd and two braised hard-boiled eggs. They came up to a total of RM3.50, if memory serves me right. They are nothing to shout about, MSG-laden, but a cheap and good source of quick-food!
