So nice…

I mentioned in an earlier post a while ago that Eric, the guy behind The Kitchen instant kampua venture, went and paid for my dinner here and asked me to drop by and enjoy myself. I certainly did not expect that, not at all, and indeed, that was so very nice of him, so sweet and generous. So, there we were back here…

…again that day for dinner.

Ahhhhh!!!! Fresh flowers…

…different from the red ones on our previous visit! That’s nice!

We placed our orders and these were served first – their tempura of prawn (RM14.90)…

…and they were very good. I would say that was our favourite that night.

We thought of having a pasta dish and decided to see what their pasta of curry seafood (RM11.90)…

…was like. We were expecting some pasta in the usual curry gravy, served with seafood but what we got was quite different. There wasn’t any taste of curry/curry powder or if there was, we were not able to detect it, just a hint of santan/coconut milk…and curry leaves and all those exotic herbs used…

It did get a little bit of getting used to – I thought that initially, it tasted kind of peculiar but after a moment or two, once I got accustomed to the unique combination of all the ingredients used, it was actually very nice – a welcome change from the usual tomato-inundated bolognese or overly rich and creamy pasta sauce.

We also shared the air-flown Australian beef sirloin with truffle pumpkin mash (RM42.90)…

…with a HUGE slab of the specially-imported beef…

…done medium rare, upon our request…

I am not really into beef steaks so I would not say that it got me thrilled with delight. I think I would prefer the Peruvian chicken I had on our previous visit.

My girl wanted the fish that the mum had – the fish in garlic chives pesto and capsicum salsa (RM22.90)…

…and like the one we had before, this was good. We thought of ordering the salmon that she had then as well but we did not think we could finish so much and instead, we had these Turkish beef kofta and tzatziki (RM14.90)…

…which did not really tickle my fancy…

I do think I would prefer the sausage I had the last time…but then again, I have this soft spot for sausages so others may beg to differ. Like I always say, to each his own!

Nobody wanted any dessert but I just had to order the French crème brûlée (RM5.90)…

…that we loved so much but this time around, we felt it was slightly a little too watery – it was just perfect on that previous occasion. Nonetheless, it was still good and we still liked it very much.

Oh dear!!! We were filled up to the brim and we still could not use up all that money that Eric had deposited in my name. I suggested keeping the balance for my next visit but they did not think that was a good idea and gave me the balance! Gee!!! I guess I can consider that to be my ang pao for the New Year? Hehehehehe!!!!
