During yesterday MF Run, i have ran across this hawker which seems to be a snake queue at one of the stall. Also spotted the Queenstown Community Library nearby as well. Seem to be pretty empty(the library). Since i have plan to do some self study and library seems to be a good spot. Might as well go there and take a peek at that food stall.

Reach library around 6pm+. I couldn't leave office early. As usual the day before a short break all sort of things to clear and adhoc meeting just make the situation more chaotic.

Start queuing at the Kua Teow stall at 6:30pm. The queue seems like about 10+ folks. I waited and waited. Wow, 20 mins later, and the queue just move like a few steps! Spotted Akira queuing in front in his track suit and bright track shoes. Akira have aged alot since i first knew him about 2 years back! Feel rather sad looking at his messy hair and appearance. I do remember doing interval with him this year at Queenstown stadium. I was running on par with him on 4 mins/km pace. His injury have caused him to slow down greatly and with his age, it is gonna be difficult for him to make a comeback. I hope he does, as it was a wonderful experience doing the FIRST WHR together.

Finally after 45 mins of waiting, i finally get my Kua Teow! I brought 1 package and 1 plate. Wow, i couldn't resist after queue for so long and buy only 1 plate! Anyway, another package is for sweetheart. Good thing must share!(Yu Fu Dong Xiang!)

I don't find the Kua Teow any special! It is bland. It does not have the usual sweet soy sauce as base. It feel lightweight, like taking vegetarian kind of food, although he is generous with hum! The way the uncle cook, is 1 plate at a time! No wonder he speed is slow and cause the jam!

My taste bud can be very wrong, so the package that i brought back is equally disappointed according to sweetheart. Nothing special.

Just couldn't understand why the queue and popularity. Maybe the food just doesn't go well with our taste. Do give it a try and let me know!
