Good…

If I remember correctly, the last time we were here was a year ago when we took Melissa’s friend and coursemate for dinner and he had the pecel lele. We had had dinner already earlier but we did try the bakso which was, at best, all right – not something that I would want to have again and I never did.

That would mean that it was way over a year ago since we last had the specialties of the house and that night, we dropped by for those. My missus had the ayam penyet (RM6.50)…

…which she enjoyed very much and they were really generous with the chicken, so much so that she could not finish and started distributing some to Melissa and me. I think they gave two slabs of the thigh but it did look like the bird was not all that big actually.

Melissa and I had the pecel lele (RM5.50)…

…with its very nice ikan keli (catfish), deep fried and the rice wrapped in banana leaf…

…and its absolutely awesome sambal

Gosh! That was so so so nice!

That simple yet delightful dinner came up to only RM20.70, inclusive of drinks,  but of course, I could not resist ordering the satay…

…from the stall in the vicinity. The last time I had those, I thought they were good but there would be nicer ones elsewhere. This time around, I found that they had improved a lot and we enjoyed what we had that night a lot. I asked for 10 sticks of lamb and 10 of beef – they were all priced at 50 sen each, including the chicken, the same as the other places in town, if I am not mistaken…and they have lamb here. Most places around here do not have that and the last time I had that at Kajang a long long time ago, it was more expensive than the rest.  They also had ketupat or nasi impit here, something that I like very much but they do not seem to bother to make that available at the other satay stalls in town.

We enjoyed our dinner so much that you can be sure we would be heading back there again sometime soon…
