Don’t forget…

Well, we try to remember that we should stay away from stuff that is not gluten free but sometimes we forget.

Last Saturday, for instance, my girl said she would like to have rice for lunch and it had been quite a while since the last time we dropped by here…

…especially now that we can no longer enjoy the Foochow fried noodles here that we do like a lot.

However, that day, we decided to just go ahead and ask for anything without wheat flour and soy sauce and to our delight, the lady boss said that they used tapioca flour to coat the meat and whatever to fry before whipping out the dish proper. That was why we ordered this sweet and sour fish fillet…

…that my girl loved a lot only to realise in the end that there was tomato sauce in it and there was wheat in the ingredients. We did not have a choice – I just told my girl to eat those few pieces by the side that were not really drenched with the sauce. I guess just a bit would be all right.

The kiam sor (salty & crusty) pork…

…was fine and yes, we enjoyed the one here. No wonder theirs is a little more crusty than some elsewhere where the batter seems softer – probably they use wheat flour.

The sweet potato leaves…

…were all right too. We asked for it to be fried plain, with just garlic and nothing else. At least, the sauce was clear unlike at some places where we asked for the vegetables ching-chao (fried plain) and the sauce came out dark which made us wonder what actually went into the cooking.

My girl loved the salted vegetable and tofu soup…

…and I would agree too that it was very nice, very clear and refreshing and not over-salty or sourish. We certainly would want to order this again the next time we come here and one thing’s for sure, it is definitely gluten-free.

I was quite surprised that it was quite cheap that day – the food was only around RM39.00, I think but with the rice and drinks for 3, the total came up to RM53.10 and the sweet daughter-in-law just asked for RM53.00. Yes, it was just 10 sen but such little gestures sure go a long way to keep customers happy and make sure that they will come back…unlike some places where they would just wait for you to dig out the coin or pay a ringgit when you do not have small change and they will give you 90 sen in return or worse, RM10.00 and they will give you back RM9.90. Tsk! Tsk!
