I was here before and I did not really like what I had then and besides, I thought the things were a little bit too pricey but when Huai Bin was back home in Sibu not too long ago, he sang praises of their mango duck but then again, he liked their fried durian which I thought was definitely not something that I would want to eat ever again.
This is their open air area…
…and they have a nice and comfortable air-conditioned section inside as well. I hear that their first floor is very impressive – what one would expect for high-end fine dining but I did not go up to have a look, not when there’s no escalator or elevator. LOL!!!
So there I was that day…and of course, I had their mango duck slices (RM12.90)…
…and I must say that I liked it a lot.
I don’t think those were fresh roast or whatever duck slices with the mango…
It tasted like smoked duck to me and I love anything that’s smoked – smoked ham,. smoked bacon, smoked turkey… You name it, I love them all!
They had the calamari salad in the middle…
…with pickled cucumber and sliced Bombay onions and that was great too.
All in all, I would give it an 8 out of 10 for taste…but I would say that at RM12.90 , I did feel the pinch a little bit. I think I would just stick to the roast duck at the coffee shop next door.
I did not know what to order to drink as I remember the last time I wanted kopi-o peng (iced black coffee) and after much difficulty explaining that to the waiter, the drink that I got in the end was definitely not black. This time around, I saw something on the Tonight’s Special menu that intrigued me…
Yes, yes! I saw the grammatical error but what got me wondering was what on earth was mangolon juice (RM6.50). My guess was it was a combination of mango and watermelon juice but when I asked the waiter, he did not know either…so I just had to take the chance and order that so as to solve the mystery.
Now, what do you think it was? Come, come…make a guess…and the first correct entry wins a prize. Entries close at 12 midnight tonight, so hurry… LOL!!!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
