The Real Kampua, Please Stand Up!
Suituapui texted me a few days ago and it says something sort of like this :
"Go to neo, hotscreensaver blog to find kampua in Puchong"
I was like, okay - maybe this is just an ordinary kampua or something that they "suka hati" call kampua but doesn't taste like kampua at all. Obediently, I went to neo's blog to take a peek and I did jot down the address of the place. Soon after that I texted Daniel,
"Wanna go for kampua in Puchong?"
the reply was,
"I'm up for it. When?"
my reply was,
"Anytime also can. If you want tonight also I don't mind"
Seriously, I've been craving to have kampua even though I still have a heavy doubt on this one either.
"Breakfast would be fine"
And so, the quest for kampua is on. On the day itself, we head straight to Puchong after picking me up at Bukit Jalil LRT station. The place, is located at Japan Puteri 7/11, Bandar Puteri, Puchong. It's located nearby the hospital, so before the hospital you turn in then you can see a lot of shophouses there.
Since neo doesn't really provide us with much details, with the help of a little bit of technology that they call GPS, we managed to find the place - that was after a few toss and turns. Seriously, I was about to blame neo for not telling us the name of the shop. :p
The GPS tells us this, well more complicated than this but the thing gave us instructions on how to go there. Cool huh? Sakai-ed!
Still a bit skeptical, I took a peek at the ingredient of the kampua. It smells like kampua alright, and it does look like one, but is it kampua? Not after I had a bite that I said,
"This is the real kampua"
Notice the char siew? Over here and back at home, the char siew got a little bit different. It's nicer and less oily.
Yes, it is! After a long search for kampua, finally I found one!
Me and Danny boy had the bigger plate which cost us RM4.50 each meanwhile Drumsticks had the small one for RM 4.00. The difference is only RM 0.50, but the amount, generous eventhough for a plate of kampua, RM 4.50 is a little bit too expensive but what the heck? It's KL, you don't find this type of food in KL that much.
My take on it is, it's not the best but one thing for sure, it is kampua and it's not bad either and forgive me because I forgot to take the picture of the shop. I told myself I will be taking it so that people will know of this place but I just forgot. But the only thing that I can tell you is that the shop name was Berry or Berryl .. something sort of.
So, the next time I want to have kampua, I know where to go. Wheeeeoooa!

To go There : Let me give you kampua cravers the coordinate: N03° 1.467' E101° 37.441'
I hope this will be more helpful. Just key in the coordinate on your GPS or Google Earth/Map. Hola!
