Evening falls…

Where else can you find such soothing and comfortable ambiance with its tasteful exotic ethnic decor…

…and enchanting flickering lights and flowers…

…simple, ordinary yet beautiful and colourful flowers…

…here there and everywhere if not here…

…and one evening last week, my daughter and I had the pleasure of dropping by for dinner – the mum had something on so we were left to our own devices.

To start off, we shared their mushroom roll (RM8.00)…

…which some of you may recall from my earlier posts on this place. Inside, there is thinly sliced mushroom cooked with cheese and whatever else and despite its outward experience that is no different from a spring roll or popiah with a sprinkling of Parmesan on top, it actually tastes like some very nice mushroom quiche or pie.

I had their Bangladeshi lamb curry (RM17.00)…

…with rice. I think I had that a long time ago but I could not remember it as being so nice. It tasted like overnight curry which I actually fancy very much more than one that has just been freshly-cooked – the rich flavours of all the ingredients had gone into the very tender succulent chunks of meat and yet it was not too dry unlike curry that has been heated over and over again. It was very spicy and I particularly enjoyed having the gravy with the rice.

Melissa had their chicken chop (RM24.00)…

…with their own original special gravy – no, it wasn’t mushroom! She had just started to enjoy it when oops!!! Disaster struck! It seemed that the meat was a bit uncooked on the underside so we had to get the attention of the waiter and had it sent back to the chef. What happened next really impressed me – instead of just putting the meat back onto the pan to grill it further, they cooked a totally new dish for us – and the second time around, it was perfectly done! Now, THAT certainly impressed me very much and for that, I would give them a double thumbs up! Bravo! Bravo!

No doubt the prices here are a bit on the high  side but I love the place as the food is good and the service is friendly and excellent. For one thing, it is not crowded plus it is not enclosed and air-conditioned, so the place would not be filled to the brim with an overly-noisy young crowd sharing a huge plate of cincaluk fried rice, the serving huge enough to feed an army and splitting the bill when it is time to leave. Never mind how nice the food may be and how cheap, I would not want my mood spoilt and my whole evening ruined and would rather go elsewhere – here, for instance, for an enjoyable dinner in its really pleasant surroundings…
