Kedai Makanan BB (GPS: 5.32629, 100.28609) is a coffee shop at the heart of the Sunshine Square commercial centre in Bayan Baru. It is at 106 Lintang Mayang Pasir 2. The coffee shop is open daily during lunch time. In addition to the ground floor space, there are also tables in the air-conditioned section upstairs.
Lately I have developed a fondness for the economy rice at this coffee shop. On today's visit, I had the gulai kiamhu kut, otak-otak, fritters and kuah banjir. Today's meal cost RM6.50, and was so satisfying. (On my previous visit, different item, I was charged RM8 but still enjoyed it.)

We visited BB once again, this time without our camera, as we didn't expect to be having lunch outside. It has been a very long time since I last had the chicken rice here, so I ordered it again, asking for a chicken drumstick and a stewed egg (lor1nui33). Meanwhile my wife ordered pan mee.
My chicken rice cost only RM3.80 and is good. It has been a long while since I tasted good chicken rice at such a low price. My wife's pan mee cost RM4.00 but she found it to be less than satisfactory.

It has been such a long time since I visited BB, so my wife and I decided it's time to give it another try. We remember that the Hokkien Mee there was quite popular, but we couldn't well remember the taste anymore.
On this visit, we ordered the Hokkien Mee, popiah and chee cheong fun.
From the look of it, all three items can be described as "not too bad". Taking a look at the photos above, I suppose you can even say that they look quite good. The Hokkien Mee did not disappoint me. However, perhaps my expectation for Hokkien Mee has grown a lot since I last took Hokkien Mee here.
That's because I do not find the BB Hokkien Mee that I had, for this particular visit, to be sufficiently fragrant. The taste is also okay, not isn't at the top three of my favorite Penang Hokkien Mee. I like it that it has a fair amount of prawns. Perhaps I am now spoilt, but I wish it also has spare ribs. Perhaps I went a little too late? I am not sure.
At the moment, the top three Hokkien Mee stalls for me, is Ah Soon Kor, Seng Lee Cafe and Sin Yin Nam Cafe. Will I return to try BB's Hokkien Mee again. I sure would. As I've said, it's not bad. But I need to return to it again, to find a reason if it could pose a challenge to the three favorite stalls.
As for the popiah and chee cheong fun, there is nothing much to say. In other words, they are okay but not particularly outstanding and would cause me to rave. It's of the expected taste. Here are the three items:

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
