Kolo Mee at Open Air Guang Xiang Ju (廣香居)

Craving something light for dinner last night, hence, we decided to go to the Open Air Market Kolo Mee- Guang Xiang Ju ( 廣香居). This is most delicious Kolo Mee  in Miri. They are famous not only because of their kolo mee, Steam Chicken, and Porridge, but also the characters of the owners!  =) I'm not sure how old are them, but i guess they are at the late 50 already. They are look old, but yet can move very fast and memorize all the order very efficiently without noted down in the paper! Solute them very much.One thing to remember when you place your order. They might seems like not hearing at you, but actually they did. Just tell them what you want to order and that's all. Don't keeps on reminding them or else you will get scolded =)

Altogether, there are 6 or 7 of them. Each of them playing their own role. One boiled the noodle & porridge, One pouring source and mix the noodle, one cutting the chicken, one topping up the dishes with Char Siew, and the rest are helping in washing dishes and serving foods.

Normally, they open at 730pm and it's available at night only. 


 As usual, we ordered the Kolo Mee, kolo Mihun and Steamed Chicken and guess how much is it? Well, All together is RM10.00 Nett Only (Murahnyeee~~~). Damn reasonable weih! Another must try is their Chicken Porridge. But we didn't order for it last night.

Somehow, my heart will feel a little bit sour when looking to them. I'm wondering if they have get married and do they have any children to taking care of them. But according to my friends, yes, some of them did married with kids, but some of them did not. The sad thing is they don't allowed the children to continue their business next time as for them, this is not a good future that their children deserve to have. Well, I hope they are going to change their mind and allowed their children to continue this business and a family business and make it as one of the famous Kopitiam in Miri next time.

But something I have to voice it out at  here. I just can't help to see some jerk that are very impatient to waiting to be served. Common la! They are old people, how you gonna expect them to increase their capacity?! If you come in late, then you just wait! Don't keep on rushing them and asking how long to be wait! If you can't wait then fuck off! They didn't ask you must eat at their stalk anyway! And if you
 are waiting for your tapao, just find a free space beside the stalk, stand there and wait!! No point for you to stand in front of the stalk, blocking their way, because it won't help in speedup your order too! Can't you see that their only have limited space already, and yet you are blocking their way, squeezing with them and making the space become smaller and smaller?!  Just like what has happened last night. Those people who are waiting for tapao were blocking their way while all of them were rushing to deliver the foods and preparing the foods. One of the owner with unintentionally knocked the arm of the one who are cutting the chicken, hence, his finger got cut and bleed. He keeps on blaming his sibling to pushing his arm and yet the crowd still standing there and did'nt make a way for him. After that, he leave with angrily and perhaps, heading to the nearby clinic. Can you imagine how hurts is him?! damn those people, it won't be happened if they didn't stand at there and squeeze the space. At least the old folks have more bigger space to move and this can prevent the accident to be happened. So PLEASE la ok, next time, you tell him what you want, then find a seat, and sit diam diam to wait. For those who are tapao-ing, go and stand at the empty stall and wait! Don't blocking people's way. 

Last but not least, I pray and hope that nothing serious happened to him. Decided to go there again tonight and i wish i could see him working as usual at there. Thanks God.
