…but that was three weeks ago when we dropped by for lunch and we did not have any dessert then. The very next day, they shared on their Facebook page the new flavours that they had come out with for their lava cakes and Melissa’s friends wanted to go and try the previous weekend but she could not come home then as there were some activities going on in the school. That was why we decided to drop by last Saturday for lunch…and besides, it was past 1.00 p.m. already and I do know that many stalls at the coffee shops and some cafes and restaurants in town close at 2.00 p.m. and will reopen in the evening.
I wanted their very nice kway chap special (RM7.90)…
…but the mum said she would like to have that so I decided that I would order something else instead. However, two bowls were served instead of one. It seemed that my girl had written two instead of one in the order form so I decided I would just go ahead and eat it…
I noticed that here, they no longer repeat the orders to confirm anymore – they used to do that in the past, not that we really paid much attention. Hehehehehe!!!!
Melissa wanted the nasi lemak with spiced chicken and beef rendang (RM16.90) but she saw that they did not have the ikan bilis sambal in the photograph of that on the table and she would want that with the rice so she asked for the nasi lemak biasa (RM7.50) that I had on our previous visit instead. In the end, I decided to have that for myself and asked her not to delete it on the order form as I thought we could share the rendang and the chicken.
This was served very promptly…
…and wait a minute! There was sambal and quite a lot if it too!!! So I gave that to my girl to eat since I was having the kway chap…and yes, it was very pretty good. She thought the chicken was very nice, nicer than the peri peri one that the mum had the last time we were here, but she felt the beef was a bit tough. I tried a piece and thought it was all right – not really tender but it was fine by me, quite toothless though I may be. The other plate of nasi lemak was a long time coming and I had finished my kway chap and was feeling quite full already plus I was getting impatient and would like the dessert to be served…so I just asked them to tapao it for me to take home and have that for dinner later in the day or I could heat it up for breakfast the next morning.
They have four new flavours – the matcha, cookies and cream and the mocha lava cake (RM9.50)…
…and the chocolate banana lava cake (RM9.50)…
I quite liked the mocha…
…but my girl, being not a real fan of coffee, did not really fancy it. I thought it tasted something like those Kopiko sweets, if you know what they taste like.
We were not too thrilled by the banana one…
…as the banana essence was very strong and the chocolate with the bits of bananas inside was overly sweet for our liking.
Yes, yes, I know! That was way too much sweet stuff for one sitting. Normally, we would just order one and share between three or more people so it would not be so bad. This time around, I thought I would like to try since these were new…and anyway, for RM9.50 each, I certainly would not be going back for more for a long long time unless I have a perfectly valid reason to do so – like when there are friends coming to town and I would take them for the nice deep-fried pork belly kompia here and they may want to enjoy that special sweet indulgence as well but personally, I would suggest sticking to the original chocolate lava – we all felt that one was much nicer than these two new ones that we tried. Besides, my girl said that though she had enjoyed what she had in these last two visits, she thought she had had enough of this place for a while…and would rather go some place else for a change. We’ll be back, of course…but not so soon.
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
