I used to go to Top Taste Restaurant for lunch when I was still working at the Bayan Lepas FIZ. But since I went full time writing this website, I have stopped coming here for a long time. It so happens that there's no food at home today, so I decided to go somewhere I haven't been for a while to have my lunch. Since it is still the Nine Emperor Gods Festival season, I wasn't sure whether the coffee shop is open, but I decided to take a chance. And luckily, it was open.

But it was also very crowded. I managed to share a table with someone, and later, when an empty table opened up, I moved over. I decided to order the char koay teow. I couldn't remember the last time I had it, must be years ago already.

Here's how it looks like:

How's the taste? To be honest, just okay. It comes with two big prawns, which I do appreciate, for the price of RM5 only. But the taste isn't particularly outstanding, just good enough to get by. Maybe the fire isn't sufficiently intensive.
