Few days before the onset of Chinese New Year, my parents were already here at my home. We aimed to convince my Mum that she did not need to cook for the whole family here (13 of us) in order to really relaxed on her holiday here. My brother and I were on constant communication on eateries venue and day. Haha.

Our Pitstops for lunch
This is one of our favourite, precisely my parents super-love. After some grocery shopping in the morning, we were hungry towards 11:30am. Due to it was early lunch, only my husband (who took leave) and I were available to bring parents around. My siblings were working. We brought them to Shuang Ling restaurant for super duper delicious 'wantan' noodle and roasted pork belly.
Their 'wantan noodle' was one of a kind, the QQ-ness (bouncy and pleasant-bite) of the noodle was super commendable and well-seasoned and the best part was their BBQ pork, so nicely charred-grilled, the balance of fat and meat was always on par, and perfectly marinated, not overly too sweet. Just the way we like it. And a bowl of wantan soup.
And the roasted pork belly was highly recommended. The price had increased but it was worth it!
Our 2nd pitstop for dinner
SRK Noodle House
SRK stands for Sarawak, the state where my parents are from. After some resting and cleaning up at home, we went to a mall in the evening, followed by dinner here. My brother suggested here because his wife's family from Sabah wanted to try it. Although my parents ate Sarawak noodle quite frequently, they did not mind. Let's see what we ordered.
Red Wine Longevity Noodle
I couldn't resist but to order this. It was extremely delicious. Upon typing this, I felt like eating again. The soup was so thick with the red wine taste and not to mentioned super flavorful and I was given another small pot of the extremely thick red wine. Slurppp! The chicken was soft and the meesua aka longevity noodle was smooth. I would come back here again and again just for this.
Mee Pok
Mee Pok stands for flat type of noodle. And it was mixed with fragrant pork oil with their special seasoning. Don't underestimate the plain white colour, this bowl of noodle was flavourful. The noodle came with sliced BBQ lean pork and a soup with pork balls in it.
Mee Hoon bowl
My mum felt like eating rice vermicelli, so she ordered this. Same way of seasoning with the pork oil and seasoning powder, also came with sliced BBQ lean pork and a soup with pork balls in it. Very delicious.
Signature SRK noodle
This bowl used their signature Sarawak noodle which was bouncy QQ-ness toink toink and nice to bite. My brother super loved this and ordered three for his side of family of 5. Came with generous amount of sliced BBQ lean pork, fried onions and a pork ball soup. One of the bowls was with soy sauce upon ordered, the other two were without soy sauce aka white noodle. Yums!
Pork and internal organs soup
My husband skipped carbs that night, so he only ate this bowl of soup, with minced pork, pork intestines, pork liver and pork balls. The soup was flavourful and a tint of red wine in it, plus gingery. Refreshing!
Curry Rice
My eldest son always couldn't resist curry. The moment he saw this on the menu, he straight said he wanted that. It was rice, flooded with Chinese curry (not overly spiced but tasty enough), topped with sliced lean BBQ pork and steamed chicken and an egg. He super loved it! The curry sauce was very appetising and flavourful.
Menu at SRK Noodle House
Let me show you a glimpse of their menu.
My nieces were always extremely excited to see their grandparents because it meant shopping and buy-toy-time, lol. Likewise, my parents also loved to come here to meet us, except they would feel tired due to flying on plane and all the packing and unpacking. After dining at SRK, we went to a shop just right opposite of the street called Ding Dang. True enough, grandparents bought some snacks and toys for the kids.
