I’d rather…

Monday morning, after a night of feasting and boozing (Not me though! The rest of them! As a matter of fact, they were already drinking during dinner. I, on the other hand, was SO good and did not touch a drop!), Bongkersz and I went for breakfast.

I don’t think many of you would remember the Rasa Sayang kampua (noodles) that was so good that I would go two or three times a week for the same thing. It was not exactly like kampua, more a cross between that and Kuching kolo mee. Unfortunately, they closed down the place (Dunno if it’s true but I heard the owner got into some trouble legally for beating up the Indon maid!). However, somebody told me that the business was still running, so we decided to check it out. Sad to say, what I heard was just a rumour. Somebody else had taken over the place and this was the kampua that we had that morning…  

It certainly failed miserably as an imitation of the original Rasa Sayang kampua as it came nowhere near it…but to be fair, it was fairly nice. There are a lot of other places in the town where the kampua is quite bad but then, there are others that have much nicer ones that I’d rather have. Rest assured that you won’t see me back there again!

But frankly speaking, I’d rather have a not-so-nice plate of kampua than this…..

Eyew! It certainly looks like black worms and the mere sight of it will absolutely ruin my appetite, that’s for sure! However, Gerrie of drivenbymood.wordpress.com had that plate of squid ink pasta at Little Italy in KK and she said it was nice. No, thank you! LOL!!! I wouldn’t mind this though, also from the same place… 

…but given the choice, I’d rather go for this…

This was Gerrie’s chicken curry that she cooked using the A1 instant curry mix for meat that I was telling everybody a few posts back. Well, she was in total agreement with me that it was very nice and a welcome relief – as you do not have to go through the trouble of preparing all the ingredients for cooking curry. Bongkersz has given it a try and given it the thumbs up…and he’s going to try the rendang mix next. Even all the way Down Under, people like Stella and jeremychee use it too! You can click the link to see jeremy’s post about it. It seems that it is available there too! 

I have tried the A1 instant curry mix for fish too, adding pineapples, ladies’ fingers, brinjal, tomatoes, bean curd sticks, fried bean curd…to the fish/fish head and it was absolutely fabulous too! Can give Sheraton’s fish head curry a run for their money anytime! Should I be cooking that anytime soon, I’ll post on it so everybody can have a look…or perhaps, you would like to take the chance and give it a try yourself first?
