This place provides an alernative for those who are on their way to KB after touching down at the airport. It is just about 5 minutes drive from th airport. Of course, if you are not ready fo local Malaysian delicacy, then Pizza Hut is just a stone throw away from Sim Garden. I wouldn't say that this place is exactly serving Kelantanese delights.
One thing that caught my attention was the "Authentic 3 Layered Tea"(A3LT). Well, in Sarawak, Kuching at least, everybody have tasted Teh C Peng. I am not sure if I can claim that Teh C Peng, like Kolok Mee originated from Sarawak. Then came Teh C Peng Special (TCPS), after someone decided to augment the taste by adding a layer of "Gula Apong" (aka gula nipah or sugar condensed from the palm tree) in the Teh C Peng. That's where the name Teh C Peng Special 3 layered tea (TCPS3LT) came about. One could vividly see, from top to bottom the brown tea layer, the milk layer and the dark "gula apong" layer. To drink, stir it, and it taste beter then the traditional Teh C Peng.
The A3LT was trying to be almost as similar as that, the Sarawak's TCPS3LT. What seems to be the bottom most layer of dark "gula Apong" in the TCPS3LT is actually Gula Melaka (sugar processed from the coconut tree). It was sticky to stir, and needed some time before it acually dissolves well in the concoction. The taste, is still sweet, but I think, I still prefer the Sarawak's TCPS3LT better. There is some slight difference in the sweetness. The gula apong is much lighter, gentler, blunder and not sweet sharp to the tongue. Ha ha..if that is the correct way of describing it.

RM 3.50 A3LT
Anyway, one should try the TCPS3LT when in Kuching. Mention Teh C Peng Special 3 Layered Tea, not "TCPS3LT", otherwise both of you would end up throwing kolo mee at each other. Please don't quote me then. ha ha.
Another thing that went in was this... Mee Sup Udang (Prawn noodle soup). Taste was ok, a little bit flat, and no much to taste. But it did cure the cravings of having hot soupy meal.
RM4.00
All in all, it was decently ok. Just to share..
Wasalam.

sedap nyerrr nampak...kene g try nih...
sedap ape ke bendenye layanan tak memuaskan langsung....pelayan bercakap ngan customer dengan kasar dan tidak sopan...masakan pon tidak berapa sedap sebab bihun yang di celup agak keras...
Hey dude, I actually went to this place last week, but was not too happy with the food. The Curry Mihoon was diluted and the Claypot noodle was too salty. But I give good ratings for the environment, very soothing.
