Late Lunch
While we were travelling during our shopping,i notice a Bat Kut Teh Store which was mentioned in this thread called something like,"Shuang Feng" or "Shuang Fong". Its directly behind the food court behind the happy massage 8 joint. This time again,Muslim bro and driver goes to the next door shop called Kroepoek Food Hall for their Halal food while another bro joins me at this Shuang Feng Bat Kut Teh :
I dont know if its the same one that was mentioned by bro New Yorker that is suppose to be nearby Apollo Hotel or something but i dont see the named hotel in the area. Nonetheless,i took a shot of the shop and the Bak Kut Teh menu.

I dont think its the same shop as what bro New Yorker says,but still its bak kut teh ,so i think i should try it,hehehe....The Bak Kut Teh is on the saltish side,but their meat and soup were well made. I would rate a 6.5/10 if i bench mark it with Micky Mouse.
After finishing up on Shuang Feng Bak Kut Teh,i walk over to the restaurant aka food mall where the driver and our Muslim bro is...the place they were at were just beside (2 -3 shops away) from the Shuang Feng Bak Kut Teh shop,named Kroepoek Food Hall :
I didnt try the food there as I already taken lunch just mins ago,but there are lots of varieties of different kind of food to choose there as the food hall is a really BIG place which is the size of at least 3 to 4 shops added together.There are many standalone store in it. The ambience was cool too! According to our unreliable driver and our Muslim bro,the food they ate was good. The only draw back is...this food hall is a bit on the High Tech side. We need to purchase a buying card,top up money into the card then can go and buy food to eat. Honestly,that kind of turn me off as it "feels" like some Sillypore food court to me...below is a sample of the card :
Before i can eat,i need to buy this card above at 5k rupiah 1st,meaning before i can even start eating...i must lose 5k 1st....for a stingy guy like me,i wont pay 5k for the card,hehehe...but the Muslim bro who bought the card was very generous,he gave his card to ME!!! Hooray!! I just save 5k rupiah!! And the card still has a 50k+ value in it...yes!! lol... (Thank you Muslim bro!)
After lunch it was about 3pm,i decide to head to Kaha to check out room prices,and that is where i found out that Formosa and the more popular hotels were out of room during CNY. And the online prices for rooms are starting to become scarier each day....hehehe...
