Right beside you…

They’ve opened an outlet of our very own Sarawak franchise

Sugar Bun @Medan Hotel

…right beside this hotel in the vicinity of the Medan Mall, Jalan Wong King Huo here…

It is on the ground floor to the left of the hotel building itself.

Their spin-off, the little-bit-classier Red Carrot, is right beside it…

…and at this point in time, they are giving out free vouchers…

Red Carrot discount vouchers

…which will entitle anyone dropping by to a discount of 10% on their orders.

It so happened that we were around there the other evening so we decided to drop in and give the place a try. I had their nasi lemak (RM6.95)…

…with this lovely Nyonya chicken kapitan curry…

Nope! The rice wasn’t anything to shout about – there was hardly any hint of the lemak-ness (rich in santan/coconut milk) but it was very nice with the curry and also the sambal.

My missus had their beef noodle soup (RM8.95)…

…and she said it was very good – the huge chunks of beef was very nice and tender.

My girl had their Penang fried kway teow (RM5.95)…

…and she loved it! She said that it was as nice as what we liked a lot at another outlet in town plus there were a lot more added ingredients…

Cockles

…in the one here. The serving was huge and she did not manage to finish all of it on her own. I could not help her with it as I had also ordered these meat balls (RM6.00 for 6)…

…to try as well and yes, they were good too, almost exactly like these but I could feel a little more of the minced meat in the ones here…

The gravy was like those packet ones from that place in KL but I did not quite like their mashed potatoes – a bit too fine, I think.

This was the total for all our orders…

Total before discount

…inclusive of drinks and after the 10% discount, I only had to pay a total of RM33.88. One thing I like about the outlets of this franchise is that they do not charge the ++, the 10% plus 6% unlike in all the others which would increase the overall total in your bill by a substantial sum.
