When my girl came home for the weekend, followed by the mid-term holiday, last Friday, she said that she wanted to go for the Bangladeshi lamb curry…
…here (2.283419,111.833454)…
…so off we went that night…for the second round of celebration in conjunction with her birthday after the first one we had in advance earlier.
She ordered her favourite drink, the very refreshing pineapple ginger soda…
…and the mum wanted her favourite – the green curry, chicken…
…and since there was lamb already and chicken as well, I asked for the otak otak fish…
…which took a long time coming. I enquired to check in case they had forgotten but they said the one they were cooking turned out a bit too dark, probably over-charred, so they did another one and that was why it was taking longer than usual. That was very nice of them but I don’t think we would mind if it had been slightly burnt – that might just bring the taste to a whole new level, who knows?
We asked for the Payung rojak, small as we did not think we could finish but the nice boss insisted that we were served the big one…
…and charged us the price for the small and that was not all! He even made this lovely century egg salad…
…for us on the house!!!
No, no, that wasn’t all either! I was asking him about the different types of ice cream desserts on their menu that I had not tried before but we did not think there was anything that we fancied especially when we were already so very full after the delightful dinner. Still, he served us this – their Maldives ice cream…
…also on the house. I don’t know why it was thus named – probably the scoops of ice cream looked like an island and there was coconut all over it – toasted desiccated coconut that my missus liked a lot as it was crusty and very fragrant but my girl and I were just o.k. with it, being not too fond of that in anything for that matter.
Then the boss mentioned that he was wondering why I had never ordered this dessert…
…that he said was very popular among the diners there. I told him that I thought it was a cake that I tried on one of my very early visits a long long time ago, probably my first time there and it was some cake made of egg white and no butter was used…and I did not think it was anything great. He told me that they had stopped making that a long time already and he quickly went and got this…
…for us to try. Yes, it was indeed very very nice – some kind of pudding (with the sprinkling of raisins and crushed peanut all over it) and we thought we could detect a hint of tapioca in it but he said no, there wasn’t any in it and instead, there were oats and some other stuff that he did not reveal to us. We loved how it was very soft, not like agar-agar, and its very mild and light taste plus it was not sweet…and for sure, the next time, we drop by, we would want to order it again!
The bill came up to only RM64.00 altogether, no charge for the big glasses of iced water that my missus and I had, but of course, half the things we had came free, compliments of the very nice boss, thank you so much, Peter!
