Thoughts: There are definitely quite a few Western Cafes in Taman OUG, all within walking distance but unfortunately parking is very challenging (although DBKL parking is still free as of now). Particularly one that opened about 6 years ago (in 2015), called "The HUB Coffee Roasters", it is one of several 小型咖啡烘焙店 Independent small-scale coffee roasters with their own brew bars that stirred to life in 巴生谷 Klang Valley few years ago. And another on opened in Damansara Heights one year ago (October 2020), The Hub has become one of KL's many 小型咖啡烘焙店 Independent small-scale coffee roasters, supplying beans to scores of Cafes.

Besides the typical and familiar menu of 拿鐵 Latte, 卡布奇諾 Cappuccino, 小白咖啡 Flat White or 摩卡 Mocha (with a reasonable price of rm$9 to rm$14); another menu show case Filter coffee choices with names perhaps only the real coffee drinkers would know. Coffee names that ends with (N), (W), (A.N.) etc, and the (N) meant "天然 Natural" processing methods for the Coffee or "未洗的咖啡 unWashed Coffee" and (W) meant Washed Coffee! “(NW) 天然咖啡 Natural coffee” (未洗的咖啡 unWashed coffee) refers to the dry process of preparing coffee beans for roasting. The dry process is the oldest method for preparing beans, and it often happens in regions with limited access to water, such as 埃塞俄比亞 Ethiopia and 巴西  Brazil. 天然咖啡 Natural coffee farms don't use water to wash their coffee fruits with the sun-dried process helps bring forward those fruity sugar flavors. As such, 天然咖啡 Natural coffee tends to have a rich and heavy body.

The "埃塞俄比亞耶加雪菲(自然)咖啡 Ethiopia Yirgacheffe (N)" is a Natural Coffee with Fruity taste of Berries, Peach, Appel, and Maple Syrup. Was told it is not as acidic in taste compared to the (A.N.) or 厭氧咖啡 Anaerobic coffees! The Barista manual pour the Coffee into a filter with the correct temperatures and weight, result is a interesting Fruity flavored Coffee and agree it is not strong Coffee nor acidic flavor but rather really very fruity, very likable "Black Coffee". 

The HUB OUG offers only Coffee and just a few choice of pastries, and on the shelf are Roasted Coffee Beans as well. The Café is also a single shop lot BUT is a Café as well as a factory which houses a section for 儲藏區域 Storage, the 烘焙 Roasting section at the entrance (enclosed with glass windows), then of course the 咖啡製作區 Coffee making area for the 咖啡師 Baristas as well maybe 10-12 tables for Customers. The walls are interestingly decorated with painted "紙漿蛋托 Paper Pulp Egg Trays", and there is also one corner with natural sunlight. There is WIFI and electrical sockets for your digital devices, so a couple of hours here with a notebook should not be a problem!

Thoughts: 山海茶餐室 Restoran Sun Sea at KL's OUG Garden houses one of the most famous pork noodles in KL. Located right beside the busy OUG morning wet market, just don't expect to find an easy parking spot here BUT DBKL parking are still FREE at the moment. (although I think some people just park their cars at the residential houses surrounding the shop lots or back lanes of the shop lots). The 2 shop-lot corner shop offers at least 10 stalls: 燒臘 Roasted rice, 海鮮豬肉粉 Pork noodle, 板麵 Pan Mee, 釀豆腐豬腸粉 Yong Tao Foo Chee Cheong Fun, 炒粿条 Char Koay Teow, 檳城咖喱麵 Penang Curry Mee, 糕點 Pastries, 檳城椰漿飯 Penang Nasi Lemak, 檳城囉雜 Penang Rojak, and 蛋煎麵包 Egg on Toasts. BUT the most elaborate stall is still the Seafood Pork Noodle stall with 2 chefs cooking all the time and a few helpers. The pork noodle stall seemed busy all the time, with the staffs churning out bowls after bowls of hot noodles non-stop. The stall offers 乾撈 Dry of 清湯 Soup variants of 海鮮面 seafood noodle, 豬肉粉 pork noodle, even 粥 porridge, but the interesting item must be the 海鮮豬肉粉 seafood pork noodle in 2-sizes of small and large; and with prices from rm$7.50 to rm$10. Here, Order and pay your noodle bowl at the counter/station next to the noodle stall, take a seat and the noodle will be delivered to your table! Today was just around 5 minutes or less waiting time.

Today's breakfast is the rm$10 "海鮮豬肉粉 Seafood Pork Noodle" (Large), while the regular (small) variant is rm$9. Add-on with more seafood and pork items, I think is rm$20 which will probably fulfill  your seafood and pork craving. The rm$10 bowl comes with 豬肉碎 minced pork (ask specifically for 豬內臟 pork innards or mixed pork else you may just get the minced pork), along with 啦啦/花蛤 Lala (clams), 小魷魚 Small squids, some 小蝦 tiny prawns, and even some 切片魚餅 fish cake slices. The Pork broth is muddy and thick, very flavorful but salty, may not be too healthy but very tasty. On the bowl was also lots of 菜心 Choy Sum and a perfect "溫泉蛋 OnSen Egg"!

Many have described this Pork noodle stall to be one of the best Pork Noodle in town (KL and Selangor). Netizens also have good comments on the "檳城白咖喱麵 Penang White Curry Mee", and also noticed a "檳城椰漿飯 Penang Nasi Lemak" stall which sounds interesting! 

Fun facts: when you type "Seafood Pork Noodle" in Google Map, only 4 search results, it is KL Cheras Taman Connaught's "華聯海鮮豬肉粉 OUG Seafood Pork Noodle" and another one also in OUG (a shop along Jalan Hujan Emas 4) BUT not this one (today's visit) which is at the junction of Jalan Hujan Emas 5 and Jalan Hujan Rahmat (which is 山海茶餐室 Restoran Sun Sea) plus another one below 4th item in the list! 

201 Jalan Sarjana Taman Connaught 56000 KL (華聯海鮮豬肉粉 OUG Seafood Pork Noodle)
16, Jalan Hujan Emas 4, Taman Overseas Union, 58200 KL (OUG Pork Noodle)
29-37, Jalan Hujan Rahmat, Taman Overseas Union, 58200 KL (山海茶餐室 Restoran Sun Sea)
A-01-13, BLOK A, 1B, SS 8/39 Icon City, PJ (吉隆坡老師傅海鮮豬肉粉 KL Lou Sifu Seafood Pork Noodle)

Not sure if any of them are related or belong to the same boss or family!

印度炒快熟面 Maggie Mee Goreng, 甜"阿榜"加蛋 Apom Manis w/Egg & 荷兰海尼根啤酒 Heinekken @ Kuchai Lama Food Court

28.07.2017 Dinner
@ Kuchai Lama Food Court (click to Google Map)
Jalan Klang Lama, Taman OUG Square, 58200 Kuala Lumpur
印度炒快熟面 Maggie Mee Goreng $6
荷兰海尼根啤酒 Heinekken $12.90
甜"阿榜"加蛋 Apom Manis w/Egg $2
Thoughts: An Indian Stall at the Kuchai Lama Food Court, I ordered the Maggie Mee Goreng for dinner and the Apom Manis for dessert. To get everything in, I ordered a Heinekken as well. 
The series of back-to-back 4 weeks classes were finally over, I would have at least 2 weeks of rest before likely another series of 4 weeks teaching back in KL. Today is my little celebration by myself for braving through the 8 hour daily ordeal with still a recovering eye. 
The Indian Lady did well preparing the Fried Instant Noodle (not too wet nor too dry) and (not too spicy nor tasteless); very nice indeed. I completed the meal with her sweet Apom dessert. It seems that she had lived in Penang and learn to cook in the Island, and now trying to make a living in KL! 

Opening hours: 04:00pm - 01:00am
