My friend, Jimmy, is in town from Bintulu…and I thought, for a change, we could have dinner at home instead of going to eat at the usual places in town. I did not have time to cook myself, so I just headed to my favourite Bandong stall and go a few dishes for four of us.
This was the ayam berlada (pepper chicken)…
RM25.00 for one large Pyrex bowl of it! Actually, it did not look that much in the covered plastic container at the stall, so I just sapu habis (swept it clean). In the end, we hardly ate half of it even though it was very nice! Next time, I think I should estimate by counting the number of pieces – 2 or 3 each, that’s all!
I also bought RM5.00 of this young jackfruit cooked in santan/coconut milk (buah nangka muda masak lemak)…
…and then I spotted these…
Braised chicken claws in soy sauce! Jimmy loves chicken claws – not me! I do not touch the stuff! Hahahahaha!!! And guess what? They were selling them at 4 for RM1.00!!! I bought RM2.00 of that just for him! At the Chinese food stall at Taman Selera Muhibbah, they were selling them at 60 sen each at one time (Dunno now!) and people were ordering them like they were free of charge.
I was positive that Jimmy had told me once that he loved brinjal, so I also bought RM3.00 of terung masak sambal (brinjal cooked in sambal)
He said that he never did but coincidentally, somehow this year, he had developed a love for the veg! Gee! Must be my sixth sense! LOL!!!…And then I saw their pucuk kelapa sawit muda masak lemak (young oil palm shoots cooked in santan/coconut milk)…
…and it looked so enticing that I just had to have RM3.00 of that as well.
We had a delightful dinner…or at least, to me, it was. We ate till we were so full and yet, we had so much leftover – and all that for only RM38.00!If we were to eat at one of those restaurants outside that we used to frequent, for 4 persons, it would cost not less than RM60.00, I’m sure…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
