Let’s go there…

I blogged about this place not very long ago, here…

*Oooopsss!!! Excuse the spelling error!*

…and as not many would go past this area, many did not know of its existence and some could not figure out exactly where it was.

Well, if you are standing in front of it, you can see Medan Hotel in the distance…

…and that building on the left with the SUPER SAVE sign is the back portion of Medan Mall along Jalan Wong King Huo and in the photograph, you can also see that bakery that sells some pretty nice cakes and stuff.

Well, we were back there once again for lunch last Sunday as my missus enjoyed what we had on our first visit and was keen on letting our girl try what they had in store. She had the nasi ayam penyet (RM8.50)…

…and she loved it! They had marinated the chicken thigh with all sorts of things like serai (lemon grass) and kunyit (turmeric) so it was very flavourful and to her liking. The sambal (chili dip) that came with it was different from the one that came with my chicken rice…

– that one had belacan (dried prawn paste) in it and yes, she loved it too!

I asked for the nasi ayam goreng 2 ketul ayam (RM8.00)…

…thinking that it was chicken rice that would be fried served with two chunks of chicken. I did fry the chicken rice that Mary gave me the first time – I was saving it for my girl but she was sick that weekend and we were so preoccupied with it that I completely forgot about the chicken rice in the fridge and when I came across it one fine day, I decided to just fry it mixed with some leftover plain rice…and it tasted so so good – it sure brought the taste to a whole new level and I was thinking that perhaps, theirs would be good too. Unfortunately, my hopes were dashed when my order was served – it turned out to be chicken rice (nasi ayam) plus  fried chicken (ayam goreng) and nothing like what I had expected.

Like during our previous visit, the rice was all right, quite good but nowhere near Mary’s…and thankfully, the chicken was very nice – freshly fried and served piping hot and crusty on the outside, moist and tender on the inside…

…and I did like it though I would not say it was something so good that I would want to order again.

My girl had their mushroom chicken (RM11.00)…

…which was actually chicken chop served with mushroom gravy…

…and she did enjoy it but she thought that the best in town would be the one at Eco-Delite, no, not the Hainanese one that she had but the grilled one with mushroom gravy that the mum had….and that was so much cheaper, RM8.90 only.

The total inclusive of drinks, came up to RM35.10 that day and yes, I did ask about the RM23.00 chicken and the sweet Malay girl told me that it was indeed RM23.00 each, smoked/roasted and it would be available daily especially in the morning or around lunchtime but by evening or night, they may all be sold out. As for the XXL fried chicken, it is just fried chicken chop, just that it would be a very generous serving but at only RM10.50, I do not think it would be very much bigger than what my girl had.

I guess we will be coming back again sometime – there are a whole lot of things on their menu that we have not tried yet.
