All the same…

…more or less.

We dropped by here again for lunch and my missus had her favourite, their ayam penyet (RM8.50)…

…while I had the smoked chicken rice, drumstick (RM5.00)…

It is only RM4.50 if you are not particular about which part of the chicken you are given. My missus enjoyed her order and I enjoyed mine too. I loved the very tasty complimentary soup that came with my chicken rice and the chili dip was very good too.

My girl wanted to try the mozzarella chicken chop (RM17.50)…

…and while it was all right, we did not really think it was anything to shout about plus the price seemed a bit on the high side. I did give it a try and I did not quite like the pineapple slices under the cheese nor did I really enjoy the tomato-based bolognese sauce which I am not all that fond of in the first place.

We also had the potato salad (RM5.00)…

…which did not get us all excited, just boiled potatoes with mayonnaise and a sprinkling of whatever herbs on top.

The total, inclusive of drinks, came up to RM44.00 which is about the same as what I had to fork out for our lunch at that place in my previous post, RM42.20.

Then, on another day, my girl wanted Sarawak laksa (RM5.50. small)

…so of course we went for the one here, our favourite in town. The mum had the same that day and do not be fooled by the word small as it is actually rather big and would be a struggle for small eaters to finish – and the large is really HUGE.

I had the nasi ayam Pattaya or their Pattaya chicken rice (RM6.50)…

…which is actually chicken rice wrapped in an omelette…

…and fried chicken and a bit of acar timun (cucumber pickle)…

…by the side but personally, I felt that the rice was more like the savoury rice at our local Sarawak franchise, Sugar Bun, not quite like chicken rice as we know it.

I also asked for their sotong kangkong, small (RM6.00)…

…to share and yes, we quite enjoyed that.

Together with our drinks – my missus had cendol and I had the ang tao peng while my girl had their cucumber lemon, the total came up to RM34.20, a little cheaper than at the aforementioned places but then of course, this one has a coffee shop setting, nothing fancy, no nice decor, no frills whatsoever.

Still, all of them fell below RM50.00 for three so it is not too bad. These days, it can get quite pricey at some places at times even at some small and not really fancy Chinese restaurants or chu char places but then of course, that would depend on what you order as well. If you ask for steamed fish or a prawn dish, be prepared to fork out quite a bit for your indulgence.
