Not the right day…

I love the nasi kerabu here but they only have it on Saturdays so I usually would make it a point to go on Saturday only and not on any other day.

However, my missus and I dropped by one morning last week – not on the right day but we decided to go ahead anyway and give whatever they might have a try and see if there would be anything good that we could go for sometimes for a change.

My missus had their nasi lemak (RM5.00)…

…with a piece of fried chicken. She liked it very much and said that the sambal was very good but I tried a bit of the rice and no, I did not think it was lemak or fragrant enough and I would say that the egg was miserably overcooked…

…don’t you think so? And is that all the oil that they used in the frying that I can see on it in the photograph? No, thank you…I certainly would give this one a miss without a second thought.

They told me they had chicken rice that morning – it wasn’t on their regular menu and I decided to try that (RM7.00)…

The rice was so-so, not too bad – I’ve tasted worse…but they were certainly very generous with the chicken – one whole drumstick, thigh and all, and I loved the pickle very much. It certainly looked kind of kasar (coarse), whoever sliced all the things for that could have done a better job of it but it did not matter – the test of the pudding is in the eating and I would give it a double thumbs up…

…The chili dip was so very good too but it was a pity that it was not really spicy hot – perhaps they could have thrown in a cili padi or two to give it that much needed kick…and the complimentary sup tulang (bone soup) was quite nice as well. Most of the time elsewhere, it would taste like plain water with salt and msg added and very strong on the smell of the spices…but this one was definitely not like that…thankfully.

I would think, however, that RM7.00 was a bit too steep for a plate of chicken rice even though it came with all the extras by the side and that chunk of meat was pretty big, I must say. Perhaps, if they could improve on the rice and come out with something nicer than that, I would not mind going for it again…even at that present price. After all, what my missus had here was already RM6.00 and the not-so-attractive piece of chicken was served with nothing much else other than the sliced cabbage and a few slices of cucumber, raw…and plain rice! Between the two, I would say this one would be a much better deal…anytime!
