That’s the reason…

I remember the last time when we dropped by here, some three or fours months ago, it was because the weather was unbearably hot and we were looking for some place that was air-conditioned and a lot cooler and more comfortable. Well, it was for that same reason that we dropped by again that day last week. It has not been raining for quite a while now, the temperatures have been steadily rising and there is this constant threat of the horrendous haze rearing its ugly head again.

They have some new items on their menu including this…

…but at RM8.00 for two thick slices of toast generously coated with what looks like honey, I would much sooner go for this instead…

…for only RM5.00.

This is new too – their cendol smoothie (RM7.00 excluding GST)…

…and yes, I thought that would be nice to cool me down a bit so I had one. Unfortunately, I would say that at best, it was all right – quite nice but I would not say it was something that would get me running back for more nor would I say it would be something I would think about ordering again should I happen to drop by here again.

My missus had the wanton QQ noodle soup (RM6.50 excluding GST)…

…and of course, she requested for their very nice chili dip to go with it and she did enjoy it, no complaint.

I had their laksa before and no, it was not anything like Sarawak or Kuching laksa and no, they never claim that it is the one and the same thing, their Noodle House laksa (RM8.80)…

I decided to have that as I did not get try the one here a few days prior to this and yes, it had not changed at all – it still wasn’t anything like Sarawak or Kuching laksa and yes, it was nice in its own way. If I were to give an idea as to what it was like, I would say that it was more like curry mee, not like our laksa as we know it.

My girl wanted their salt & pepper calamari (RM8.20 excluding GST)…

She loves sotong (squid) and of course, she always enjoys this – everywhere and anywhere. I had one and the mum had one and she finished the rest, except for 3 pieces, all by herself…and I was wondering how on earth would she be able to finish her sizzling chicken chop with creamy mushroom sauce (RM18.80 excluding GST)…

…after eating all that and true enough, she only managed half of the meat and half of the wedges but she did eat up the corn on the cob and the snap peas by the side. She said that the chicken was rather salty and yes, I would agree with her on that – it was all right if eaten together with a bit of the potato wedges but both of us were already too full to eat it like that, so we just had to leave what was left behind.

Including GST, plus charges for the drinks that we had, the total came up to RM64.45 and I would be lying if I say that I did not feel the pinch especially considering that my missus and I just had noodles…but it sure was a welcome change and a lovely break for my girl home from her school in the jungle and for that very reason, we may drop by again, but not that soon perhaps.
