Eating
out in Noodle Descendents can be a unique experience especially eating the
famous Teochew organ-meat soup in the hot eating environment and the long waiting
queue.
The
Teochew organ-meat soup is Kuching’s most famous food and it is serves
with noodle or Kuey Teau separately. Founded in 1957, Noodle Descendents is
well known in Kuching for its fresh pork meat, intestines, liver and kidney
soup.
Although
the business hour is from 9.00 am till 3.00 pm but one needs to queue up at
least half an hour to get a seat. However, you can catch in a long queue for
hours especially during breakfast and lunch or after work hours. The queue
becomes longer on weekends and public holidays.
When
you finally sit down to a meal, be patient, do not call the waiter over to
place your food order. The waiter has her time to get your order. When placing
your order, be audible and clear. However, the food comes in just 30 minutes.
The
57-year-old family-run foods business “Sin Min Joo Cafe” was unusual. It was originally
on an old corner shop lot in the populated
quarter of the town located at Bishopgate, a small lane off Carpenter Street in
Kuching, dedicated there in 1957.
The cafe
was too cramped out. The olden tables and chairs were taking a lot of space. It’s
always crowed no matter what time of the day. However, the business has closed
and moved to a new location at Padungan
Road in August 2012 with the new name Noodle Descendents (麵家湯). Certainly the new place
looks amazing, although it’s ridiculously too hot and miserable inside without
air conditioning.
Despite
the changes which have taken place, but the home-based business owner and the essence
remains the same, while the business climate remains far better than before.
The
waiting time for those who are eager to try the noodle will be less stressful
if they are prepared to wait. Anyhow, the food is delicious and worth the wait.
