I would like share with all of you about this little known culinary gem called 'The Little Blue House Cafe'. Situated in the small sleepy town of Bidor in the state of Perak, Malaysia. Its a small restaurant off the main street of Bidor town and you would not find it unless you were lost. This ironically was the way we stumbled upon it.
Bidor is the kind of town that probably was once a hide out for thieves back in the 70's, or even a toilet stop for train drivers back in the 60's, who really knows. These days, its home for people who are quite content living their mediocre lives from one day to the next. Simply existing on this planet waiting for the day they see a mushroom cloud in the distance. Anyway...
'The Little Blue House Cafe' serves the tastiest wok fried food on the planet. Their Chinese fried rice is simply to die for. Not to mention the sweet and sour chicken, simply divine. The decor was as you would expect, tasteless yet rustic, a relic of the 70's minimalist movement. It probably looked the same ever since they opened. It didn't matter, we were there purely to eat. Needless to say we ordered dishes as if it was going to be our last meal. We were hungry no question about it. Hungry like Mexican whores at sunrise. The fried rice disappeared like magic. I personally have tried everything on the menu. Its all good.
Towards the end the cook himself came out of the kitchen to see if all this food was actually being eaten and that we were in fact being serious. Now here is the kicker, 5 adults and 3 children, the bill came up to 50 Malaysian Ringgit which is roughly 7 UK Pounds. 7 Pounds? That will get you a Happy Meal in London, maybe. If 'The Little Blue House Cafe' was in Kuala Lumpur city, you'd be paying 3 times the amount.
We were perplexed and almost sacred to paying thinking that they may have somehow miscalculated the bill or something. Maybe they grow all the ingredients out back? Maybe they own the building, hence they don't pay rent. Who knows? All I knew was that I was deliriously full and filled with guilt at the shameless display of greed and opulence. Never the less I highly recommend you eat there. That is if you ever go pass that way. Ever.

been there a few times... the food sucks man...
If you say you have been there a few times, wouldn't that mean that you must have thought the food was good the first time.Thus making you come back again AND if sucked so bad, then WHY KEEP GOING BACK?
