Can’t fit in…

Well, we tried but we just couldn’t possibly fit in all the places in town that I would want to take my girl to during her over-a-month-long school holidays to enjoy all the things that she loves.

We did manage to drop by here for lunch though – on New Year’s Day before the holidays ended. I noticed that there was this on display…

– extracts from the book that I had a hand in writing and they were also featured in this magazine…

…and also a number of newspapers as well.

I expected my girl to order her favourite – the nasi bryani with mutton curry but she said she did not want something too heavy as she would like to save some tummy space for dinner. That was why she opted for the tandoori chicken paratha (RM12.00)…

…which is the Indian bread with bits of the special traditional stone oven-baked chicken inside and she loved it a lot.

She also enjoyed the potatoes…

…by the side and was wondering if she could find the recipe so she could cook her own.

My missus stuck faithfully to her favourite kalio ayam (RM14.50) while I decided to try something that I had not had before – their opor ayam (RM14.50)…

…and boy, it was so very good!!!

The potatoes…

…and egg…

…by the side went so well with the gravy and as it was a non-spicy dish, they gave me this special serving of sambal cili (chili dip)…

…to go with it but I did not think it was necessary because the very rich and absolutely heavenly gravy and the chicken…

…tasted so good that I did not want to drown it out with all that chili. I felt like I was being transported back in time to 1973 and those days of the awesomely delightful nasi pandang at places such as the Rendezvous, Bras Basah Road in Singapore.

One thing’s for sure, I certainly would want to have that again the next time we drop by this place but I guess that would have to wait till my girl comes home on weekends and the same applies to all the other places that we did not manage to visit while she was home. The total came up to RM47.50 and the nice boss gave me RM10.00 change for my RM50.00 note, which meant that he had waived more than just the iced water that we had. Isn’t that nice?
