This late-night supper hot spot on
the edge of Chow Kit is a bare-bones joint that's famous for its chilli-infused pork curry
stew,
bak kut-teh
, as well as the original more soupy version. The bequiffed old rocker
owner, who is nicknamed Mungo (his brother is Jerry), will likely entertain you with his
life story.
