All that she wants…

Well, Cooking4stp flew into town this afternoon amidst the storm that caused flash floods and massive traffic jams all over town as a result of which it took us more than an hour to get from the airport to the hotel where she was staying.

Still, nothing could stop us from going out for dinner to the place of her choice and having read all my posts on all the delicious food there, she wanted to go to the Ruby Restaurant, no less! She would like to have the bitter gourd with salted eggs that she had the last time she was in town years ago…

Prior to this, she never had bitter gourd all her life, so the fact that she actually wanted to have it again is testament to its superior taste. Then, she wanted to have the butter scotch prawn balls…

Somehow or other, she did not have that the last time, probably because she was too lazy to remove the shell or did not like to get too messy whilst wrestling with the prawns. She did not like lamb, so we decided to have a go with spare ribs instead…

The mayo with lime sauce that we usually had with lamb actually blended very well with the pork. C4stp commented that she never really liked mayonnaise but she found the sauce very nice indeed. Then she wanted to try the Thai-style midin that I had last week…

…and to wash all that down, we had the sea cucumber soup.

My missus tagged along for the dinner and for the three of us, that came up to RM39.00 for the food alone – RM13.00 per head, that is…and the advantage of going out for dinner with ladies, they nibbled like mice and guess who ate the lion’s share! LOL!!!
