Thoughts: There are 2 WBL (Wang Bu Liao) in Klang Valley as of today:
The SS15 branch opened 5 days ago on April 17 this week, it is another Café that offers mainly Penang style Noodles and Snacks. Another Café "Bin Ka 檳咖" that also opened recently in SS15 which offer quite similar Penang style Noodles as well. 
Today's lunch is a rm$12 Soup-based dish "苦瓜豬雜乾撈老鼠粉 Bitter Gourd Mixed Pork Dried Rat Noodles", and it was rm$13.50 because of upgrade from white rice to the rat noodles. Dish wasn't too salty and the pork mixed comes with 豬肚 pork stomach, 豬肉片 pork slices, 五花肉 pork belly, 豆腐 tofu, 豬油炸 pork lard, and of course 苦瓜 bitter gourds. Other noodles choices with the rm$1.50 upgrade can be 濑粉 Laifen, 黄麵 Yellow noodle, 米粉 Vermicelli, or 粿條 Kway Teow. 
Besides Penang signature dishes like Penang Char Koay Teow, Hokkien Mee, Asam Laksa, White Curry Mee, and Kway Teow Teng with prices from $11.90; the Menu also offers Rice dishes, Nasi Lemak, Snacks (eg: Lobak or Penang Popiah), Croissant, Roti + Egg, and limited Soup dishes like the one for lunch today. 
A variety of Pork noodle variants can be found throughout the country. BUT not sure if "苦瓜豬肉粉 Bitter Gourd Pork noodle" is a KL thing or other states, it is possible to find this variant of the Pork noodle or Bitter Gourd soup in Singapore island. It is the bitter taste of the Bitter Gourd that probably make it maybe somewhat an acquired taste and therefore it is not as widely offered as a Pork noodle variant in Kopitiams. One such place that used to be quite popular in Klang Valley is the "Restoran 126 Bitter Gourd Noodle in Taman Bukit Mayang Emas" in Petaling Jaya BUT unfortunately it is permanently closed. This unique vegetable with a bitter taste has an origin in the 非洲大陸 African continent which also have many names other than Bitter Gourd: Bitter melon, Goya, Bitter apple, Bitter gourd, Bitter squash! From African, the vegetarian was brought to East, South Asia and South East Asia where a variety of cuisines can be found by different cultures and ethnic groups. Some of the common cuisines using the bitter vegetable are Stuffed fish/meat paste in bitter gourd as a 釀豆腐 Yong Tao Foo choice, then there is also 豬肉苦瓜湯 Bitter gourd soup with pork meat, and of course 苦瓜豬肉粉 Bitter gourd pork noodle! Bitter gourd has 抗氧化 antioxidant and 抗菌性能 antimicrobial properties, which help excretion toxins from our blood and liver and heal many 肝臟狀況 liver conditions. Regular consumption of Bitter gourd improves our gut health and treats many 腸道疾病 intestinal conditions, including 便秘 constipation and 腸易激綜合徵 irritable bowel syndrome.
