The name seen on the signboard was the closest resemblance of the shop's name. See I was trying to find out the name of the shop.

This was the stall or shop among a row of detached wooden houses on the Main Road of Ulu Yam Lama. The owner started this exodus to Ulu Yam years ago. In the early years, typical of village style, topless in a pair of shorts and slippers. Gradually the fame came over the years.

 It was not until the last 3 years, more wooden houses - contemporaries of this fellow villager, went into business enhancing this craze. Ulu Yam these days are full of eateries. On both sides of the Main Road. For better profitability, they  went into Seafood business.

Look at this shop once more. Next came more progress, better looking, new terraced Shop houses in Ulu Yam Baharu, some 10 kilometers away. They started the seafood business.

Obviously adventure seeking urbanites get landed into this decent looking shops in the fabled Ulu Yam town.

Most patrons coming from Kuala Lumpur were under the impression that it was one of these nice restaurants that served such famed servings. From simple noodles, the "hear-say" turned its focus  into good Chinese village food.

Most coming here were looking for good food, apart from the noodles that they heard about. Look at this place again, chairs and table in the open air verandah of the houses. On Sunday close to noon time, many with their 4X4 [shinnies] from out of town will jam this narrow road.

In mid-March, our last visit, appeared that ownership of this place had changed hands. No that was a couple of years back. Now, I saw the original owners.

The real McCoy? Now the noodles are still been served. On a weekdays, you can still get some resemblances of yesteryears. On weekend, with the crowd, the servers would bull-dozed their side dishes. Top of the list would be -Fish cakes from Kuala Selangor, then Noodles cooked with Fresh water prawns. I argued that those were white prawns from the sea. I paid the premium for something that was not in the presence of my guests. They too, were not famed to  dish out this popular Cantonese preparation. The noodles you come all the way here for? A victim of mass cooking!

The other restaurants, particularly those in Ulu Yam Baharu, were eyeing the weekend crowds Remember, you, town folks created this hype!
