Boat Noodle

Boat noodles were originated from Thailand, which I read on the internet (I forgot what's the source) they were actually served on the boat. The boat noodles were purposely served in very small portion to prevent the soup from spilling all over the place as the boat sails.

Wondering what boat noodle is, Bing and I went to this boat noodle shop in Kuchai Lama on a weekday evening. This shop is the relatively less-famous one, compared to the one in Jaya One and Empire Damansara. 

Zap Zap Boat Noodle serves boat noodle in 4 flavours: Original (Soup), Original (Dry), Tomyam (Soup), Tomyam (Dry). For each flavour you get to choose to either go with Thai Koay Teow or Mee Hoon. 

Original (Soup).  Thai Koay Teow served in brown, salty soup with a tinge of herbs.
Tastes better with additional fish sauce and sugar.

Original (Dry). Thai Koay Teow served in brown gravy with herbs.

  

Tomyam (Soup). Thai Koay Teow served in Tomyam soup. The Tomyam was rather sweet than the
conventional spicy/ sour soup base. Bing's and my favourite out of the four flavours.

Tomyam (Dry). Thai Koay Teow served in brown gravy,tomyam paste and chili flakes.
Just like the soup ones, the tomyam taste rather sweet than the conventional spicy/ sour taste.

Each bowl of boat noodle costs RM1.90. Anyone would think that it's pretty cheap, until you realize how small the portion it is.

YES. This is how SMALL the portion is. I can practically finish one bowl within a mouthful or two. Bing and I had 8 bowls each, which we are not even considered as huge eaters. An average person would need to finish 10 bowls to just nicely satisfy his tummy, which all added up to RM19.00. RM19 for thai noodle?! To me personally I think it's a bit too much, not really worth it.
