This is a nice place to go for very nice food at affordable prices but I guess going on a Sunday was a bad mistake unless you’ve made prior reservations and ordered what you would like to eat earlier. I was there with my missus and Melissa over a week ago and we were lucky to be able to get a table. It was very crowded and extremely noisy – that is one reason why I do not really fancy eating at this particular restaurant.
Of course, Melissa wanted her favourite – their sizzling beef on a hot plate…
…and also their fried prawn balls served with their creamy salad dressing…
I think it is mayonnaise with a squeeze of lemon and other things that give it a nice and pleasant taste, a far cry from other places where they would just use plain mayo.
They make their own tofu here – very fine and smooth and this is their most popular way of cooking and serving it…
When eating here, it would come as no surprise that almost every table is having this same dish as well – I guess it’s one of their signature dishes.
We decided to try their long beans fried with belacan (dried prawn paste) – something that we had not had before…
…and it turned out to be really very good.
The bill came up to about RM34.00 inclusive of rice and drinks for three which I must say was very cheap…but the long wait for the food to be served pissed me off somewhat. I think we had to sit there for about an hour before the first dish came. Thankfully, the food was great and that certainly helped make up for the suffering somewhat.
Well, time flies…and Melissa has been home for quite a while now. She made some scones once for tea and she also made these quiche…
…following Elin’s recipe. Instead of salmon, she used the SPAM (oven roasted turkey) that my NZ friend gave me way back then and the fragrance was not as strong and nice as real/smoked ham or bacon. Still, it was good and we all loved it!
Not to be outshone, the mum wanted to make lokan but the ones at the market were very small that day so she used scallops instead…
Of course, they were very nice…but considering the amount of work required, I wouldn’t be caught dead cooking that – no, thank you. LOL!!!
We’ll be flying over to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow for a few days and hopefully, we’ll get to eat some nice things there too. Watch out of the posts…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
