I remembered when I was younger, when they did not move to this location, we had to wait for a vacant place just to have that plate of mee goreng. We went to this new location and told them that they didn't taste the same and they said the curry powder they used we no longer in production. Therefore with this new one, it taste like that. Maybe I could take that as a reason to how it taste but not how the squid turned out to be like. They taste totally different and instead of using squid, they use cuttlefish now. Such a dissapointment. <strong>vk: I see, but I don't think the curry powder alone can make such a HUGE difference in the quality and taste. Thanks for your information.. at least now I know it was really good last time :)</strong> I’ve read through indeed I do agree that it doesn’t taste as good as years before.

Haha.. it's true as I used to buy that for my parents for tea until they complained that it is tasteless. It happened so many times until I gave up on them. I really regretted bringing SBC to video them for Singapore Food Channel few years back. They even have the cheek to charge us for the food "spoilt" although we gave them free publicity to be shown throughout Singapore. P/s: I still think you should rate the food you have taken as well as to provide a good location map. Penang Tua Pui will be able to help you with his great Google Search map :) Anyway, great blog here except for the missing two items :P <em>Criz Lai's last blog post..<a href='http://crizfood.blogspot.com/2008/05/review-hong-kong-food-culture.html' rel="nofollow">REVIEW – HONG KONG FOOD CULTURE</a></em> Hooray… someone finally said that the Mee Goreng there sucks!!
