Today I tried a new Thai koay chiap stall that had opened at Pisa Corner. To sum it up, I was dissatisfied.
I took the small portion which cost RM5 (big one costs RM7). It's rather small... just look at it poured into a bowl.
Looks slightly better after adding soup.
However I wouldn't complain about the size if it had tasted good enough. But as you can see from the first photo, there were no internal organs at all. It had half an egg, some pork meat (which is carved from pork leg, I think, because I saw pork leg at the stall), some pig skin (which was probably from the pork leg too), some roasted pork (she sliced it on the spot), and some tau kua (beancurd).
This is why I call it a "safe" koay chiap... the only thing that people might not want is the pig skin. But I don't want a safe one... when I eat koay chiap, I want it to be loaded with internal organs that we seldom find in other dishes!
As for the "koay", they look nice, but they were a little too soft for my liking. So basically I am dissatisfied.
