Kopi-O-Kosong = RM2.20
Signature Mee Pok (Dry, Small) = RM8.00
No Service Charges
Here is the Full Menu of the Eatery/Restaurant.Prices are Accurate as of the Date of the Post.
This was a Place that seems to be quite Popular for their Mee Pok on Google Maps so I gave it a try. The Actual Place is an Older Non-Airconditioned Kopitiam Place and was surprisingly quite Popular with the Locals even on a Friday Morning when I visited.
As soon as I reached, I was immediately greeted by a Elder 大姐 with a Friendly Smile who took my Order. No issues with the Rest of the Support Staffs too who were Polite and Reserved, though there was 1 Myanmar Staff who although delivered my Kopi, decided to deliver a 2nd Cup to me again. Hahaha. Anyway it took 1 Min for the Mee Pok and 2 Mins for the Kopi.
Kopi-O-Kosong = RM2.20
Robust and Gao Gao with a Deep Body, this actually tasted Slightly Bitter but also Not Overly So. No Siap Siap, it is Not like those Super Strong Coffee despite being Robust Tasting but will wake you up gently. Not Bad Kopi.
Signature Mee Pok (Dry, Small) = RM8.00
Very Humble Looking, it comes served with a Small Bowl of Soup.
As I closely dissected the Dish, it consists of:
Mee Pok of course
6 Slices of Char Siew
2 Fishballs
2 Fishcake Slices
2 Slices of Lean Pork
2 Slices of Pig Liver
Some Bak Chor in the Soup
Quality of the Soup
I thought this had quite a Prominent Porky Aroma 猪腥味有点重. The Soup itself I'd describe as "Very Meaty Flavoured with a Slight Saltiness" no doubt due to the Bak Chor Element. Though the Aroma is Abit Piggy, the Taste isn't Too Piggy thankfully. I think abit of MSG is used although not too much. Overall still quite 清甜 in Taste. Decent Porky Meaty Soup.
Quality of the Mee Pok
Certainly from some Package, I thought the amount given was Acceptable for the Price. Bite Texture isn't those QQ Type, but with a More Tender Bite. I loved the Pieces of Pork Lard within and the Chilli isn't Super Spicy with a Nice 开味 Flavour that really opens up your Appetite to make you want to keep eating More Noodles.
Quality of the Char Siew
Nothing Special about these. They were the Dry Dry use Food Colouring Type. Slightly Sweet with a Firmish Chew. They are cut in Slightly Larger Cuts though which I appreciated.
Quality of the Lean Pork Slices and Pork Liver
Pork Slices were not Overly Porky with a Sweetish Juicy Firm Bite Texture, these were Decent. Pork Liver thankfully was cooked well, not Dry Dry and also didn't taste Too Livery. Also Not Bad.
Quality of the Fishball and Fishcake
Nothing Special about these, another Package Product probably. No Fishy with a Slight Bounce.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At the Price of RM2.20 (S$0.80) for the Kopi-O-Kosong was affordable. Its a Robust Tasting, but Not Super Strong type of Kopi that woke me up gently in the Morning. Decent.
At the Price of RM8.00 (S$2.60) was certainly Affordable for this Bowl of their Signature Mee Pok. Eating this, I feel the Soul of this Dish is actually both the Chilli Sauce they used and the Soup.
This Chilli was Very 开味 and Saltish in all the Right Ways that make you want to Eat More and More of the Noodles. The Soup Aroma I thought was abit Too Piggish for my Liking, but thankfully the Taste itself isn't so. I thought the Savoury Meaty Taste of the Soup paired nicely with the Dish overall. 
No issues with the Service, I especially liked the Friendly Elder 大姐 with a Friendly Smile.
I can understand why this Place is Popular with the Locals even on a Weekday Morning.
Quite Impressive. While I wouldn't call this a Die Die Must Come visit type of Eatery, I have no issues with this Place. If you are in Permas Jaya, I can recommend to come give this a try if you are craving for a Bowl of Affordable, Warm and Comforting Noodles.
