Changes…

This was on Christmas Day, before our dinner at home that night. We dropped by here…

…for lunch and one might notice that there had been some slight changes done to the place. They’ve given the place a fresh coat of paint, blue on this side…

…plus some Christmas decorations in keeping with the festive season and a lovely shade of green inside. There were also some nice colourful furniture as well and these beautiful payungs or umbrellas…

…from Myanmar…and these angels as well…

I saw in a friend’s photograph on Facebook that they were having green curry…

…as one of their specials for the day and I made up my mind right away that I would drop by to give it a try.

However, that day, since it was Christmas, I thought we would go for some of the western stuff on their menu instead and I ordered their chicken chop (RM24.00)…

…to share.

Yes, it was very nice! The gravy was different from anything one would find elsewhere – it had its special fragrances with all the herbs, spices and other ingredients used and was rich and creamy and tasted absolutely great…and the huge slab of chicken…

…was very well-marinated and perfectly done.

Other than that, we also had their beef spaghetti (RM17.00)…

…and this too was different from any pasta dish one would find elsewhere. It was very good too though I would prefer the beef to be just a little bit more tender.

My missus insisted on having the green curry chicken (RM18.00)…so we ended having that as well and all of us loved it to bits! A friend of mine had an office party here the day before and upon his special request, they had ulam on their menu and it turned out that they had some of the sambals (dips) left so the boss whipped this…

…up for us, on the house! That certainly was very nice of him and that wasn’t all! He had just finished preparing a new batch of his very special mashed potatoes and he also gave us a bowl of that in addition to what we had that came with the chicken chop.

We certainly enjoyed the lunch and if anyone still does not know where this Payung Cafe is, it is along Lanang Road – back to back with the Kingwood Hotel new extension, its riverfront multi-storey carpark, to the left of that immediate block of shops (2.283462,111.833471).
