Over the weekend…

The weekend came and went and of course, Saturday was the day when we would be out and about in search of some place nice for lunch.

I was thinking of the very nice signature barbecued pork ribs here…

…so there we were (2.287323,111.826564)…

…browsing through the menu and making up our minds as to what we would want to have.

It seemed that there were a lot of things on their menu that we had not seen before among those that we had tried and liked at one time or other. Once we had picked our individual choices, we sat there waiting…and very soon, our drinks were served…

Lemon tea, hot & iced

…on the house – lemon tea, hot or iced. We did not know of it initially but the waitress told us that we would be getting these complimentary drinks with our orders.

My missus asked for the pineapple chicken rice (RM10.00)…

…and got this huge slab of nicely-fried chicken on a bed of pickled pineapple and whatever underneath…

…that was very compatible and went absolutely well with the meat.

My girl loved their creamy cheese baked chicken chop rice at their sister cafe next  door so she opted for the pork version (RM19.00)…

…here. She said it was nice but when I tried it, I felt it wasn’t anything I would enjoy and would order for myself. For one thing, it was rather strong on those herbs in western cooking that I am not all that accustomed to.

I saw their photograph of this, with rice (RM10.00)…

…on their Facebook page and was looking forward to giving it a try. This was their version of scotch eggs, using salted egg yolk instead and they call it their dragon eggs. It sure looked very nice in their snapshot and I sure was not disappointed – we all agreed that it was indeed very good.

But no, I did not forget all about the pork ribs (RM28.00)…

I ordered one to share but because the servings of our individual orders were rather big, we did not even manage to finish half of it so I asked for it to be put in a doggy bag to take home.

Yes. everything was great, as always and we sure had a delightful lunch, just that we had ordered too much to handle. I think it would be good to just order the ribs to be shared by three…and order the very nice cincaluk fried rice from next door to go with it but then of course, you would need to find two other persons who would not mind eating the same things as you…or you will end up like us – each person ordering a different thing and ending up with a whole lot more than what we could possibly finish.
