Towards the end of last year, I posted about a "safe" koay chiap in Pisa Corner.
Later on, the stall disappeared and another one (probably the same one) popped up a few stalls down (still in Pisa Corner).
I have tried it before with my parents, and it was not bad. The soup was good, however they also lack internal organs. However, it's a lot better than the one before.
I think this is the same seller who moved her stall, because a number of things are the same. Today I ordered a pack for take-away, and when I asked her for cut chillies instead of the chilli sauce, she cut the chillies on the spot for me and added soy sauce. I remember the other stall doing that too (just can't remember the person's face).
This might be the improved version... it costs RM6 (versus RM5 from last time), and the portion is double (double the "koay", and almost double the "liaw" as well). Since there is more "koay", you can see the "liaw" better as well because they're not drowned in the soup! (oh, and actually I didn't pour all the soup, there was a lot!)
The egg, pig skin, roast pork, and beancurd look exactly the same as my photo from last time. There was quite a large number of pork slices (the meat, not the roast pork), meatballs, and a number of pieces of tongue! This last one makes me the happiest. Like I said in that post, when I eat koay chiap I want internal organs. Not sure whether tongue qualifies as an internal organ, but it's definitely better than nothing. And tongue is usually harder to find than intestines or stomach.
Although this is one ringgit costlier than the previous version, the extra "liaw" makes it worth it, together with the normal portion of "koay". The "koay" is still soft though...but I don't mind so much as long as the soup is good.
