Try again…

My girl had not tried the food here yet…

…as that time when her mum and I went, it was a weekday and not a holiday so she was in her school, and was not around. Now that the school holidays are finally here, I wasted no time in taking her to sample some of the stuff on their menu…

Hmmmm…this franchise is the brainchild, the baby of some Indonesian lady named “Ibu Ruth”, it seems.

They did not have this…

…the last time around but the guy did say they were waiting for the tray or something. I was expecting something very special but it looked like one of those plastic ones with a cover that you can open and close to help yourself to what is inside, something like the ones they use here. True to what the guy said that last time when we said that they could be more generous with the sambal, now they have it ready by the side and one can just go and help oneself to as much as one wants. That day when we were there, there were two bowls and one was extra spicy – needless to say, my missus had a field day enjoying herself and going back for more. She sure likes it hot!

No, I did not order the chicken as on that previous occasion, I thought it was rather overly-soft and not nice and firm so I did not quite enjoy the texture of the meat and I did not think I would want to have that again. Instead, I ordered the fish (RM13.50, with rice)…

…which I certainly liked better than the chicken but being used to buying it fresh from the market and cooking our own at home, it certainly did not get me jumping with delight. Besides, I do think that I liked the one here a lot more but theirs was a little bit more expensive and what we had here sometime ago was very good too…but we have not had the latter for sometime now so I would not know how much it is now at this point in time.

Of course, I ordered the gado-gado (RM6.50) that I thought was very good but instead of the sup tulang (RM7.50), I decided to give their sayur asam (RM7.00)…

…a try. It was not exactly sour – I thought there was a hint of sweetness in it and comparing the two, I would rather stick to what I had before.

My girl wanted the tempeh (RM3.80)…

– something that she does seem to enjoy so we had that as well.

For one thing, although they did not have a really very extensive menu, there were stickers all over that stated in no uncertain terms that a few of the items were currently not available, like the lumpia, for instance but at least, they had stickers so one would know and not get quite pissed off when ordering only to be told that this and that are all not available.

All in all, it was an o.k. brunch and at least, now, my girl has been here and tried some of what they have in store.
