Let’s go out tonight…

Last week on Good Friday, my girl and her colleague/friend were home but we were fasting the whole day (though we did make sure our guest had her regular meals) and in the afternoon, we attended the special service in one of the churches in town. I suggested not cooking dinner and going out that night instead so come evening, the four of us headed here – the SCR®Xpress…

…where we once had a delightful lunch before.

This time around, we were seated at another section at that same place…

…which I thought was kind of colourful, don’t you think?

We placed our orders and everything came pretty fast, true to its name. I had the 3-layer teh-c-peng (RM4.40)…

…that I had on our previous visit and I loved it a lot. My missus had the Lavender Lady (RM4.80) which she said tasted like yam…and the two girls had the 4-sour drink (RM4.60 each).

We asked for the chicken rice (RM2.20 each)…

…minus the chicken which we did not quite enjoy before as it was kind of cold, never mind whether it was steamed or roasted.

We decided to try the midin with Thai-sauce (RM8.90)…

…instead of the one with belacan that we had the last time even though that one was very nice. I would say this one was pretty good too and I sure wouldn’t mind having it sometimes for a change.

The squid rings (RM7.90)…

…were kind of bland and chewy and did not get us jumping up and down with delight but they were definitely cheaper than the so very delicious crispy prawns (RM11.00)…

…that we enjoyed so much the last time and simply had to order it again…and of course, again, this time around, everybody loved it…especially my girl who really enjoyed it to the max.

The fried tilapia with Thai sauce (RM13.70)…

…was very nice too and one would get a choice between Thai sauce, pickles or sambal. I would have picked sweet and sour as we already had Thai sauce with the midin and we did not quite fancy the other two but unfortunately, that was not one of the options.

The fish ball soup (RM7.90)…

…that we had did not look like it was going to be very nice but how wrong could we be! Probably they have all those chickens for their chicken rice and they can use the “unwanted” parts to make the stock, I wouldn’t know but the soup sure was so flavourful, so very nice.  There isn’t much choice here as far as soups go but I certainly would not mind ordering this again the next time we drop by here.

The total for everything came up to RM76.60 and with the 6% GST, the net total was RM81.20.

After dinner, we went for a walk at the megamall a stone’s throw away. They have not removed the golden goat yet…

…though Chinese New Year has long passed and gone. The one here is certainly a lot nicer than the other one at the other end of town…

…which was a horse last year and obviously, they just added the horns and the beard and sprayed it gold in colour.

I did get myself a new pair of sandals at the buy-and-throw-away outlet at the mall and the girls did pick up some stuff including some canned stuff to take back to their school. All in all, it was an evening well-spent…with the very delightful dinner followed by a pleasant outing with the family, plus one.
