When my cousin and her hubby were here from the UK, they wanted to come here but it was so very crowded and we were told that we would have to wait for at least an hour for the food so we decided to go elsewhere.
We dropped by…
…on Friday evening last week for dinner and there were just two or three other tables besides ours.
We were served very fast indeed and we had two of our usual favourites – their honey prawn balls (RM13.00)…
…and the bitter gourd fried with egg (RM9.00)…
For reasons unknown, unlike all the other places around town, they do not cook the vegetable with salted egg here but despite that, they do it really well and we certainly enjoy it everytime.
Being our no-meat Friday, this being the Season of Lent as well, we asked for the black pomfret/ikan bawal hitam (RM24.00)…
…or at least that was what it said in the menu but we were very sure that this was the very-much-more-expensive white pomfret/ikan bawal putih…
We asked for it to be deep-fried and served plain like that so as to ensure that they did not add any sauce, not even soy sauce, in case they used anything that would render it not gluten-free and because it was so very fresh, it was very nice and we sure enjoyed it to the max.
By the time we were almost done, more and more people came in, many of them celebrating their birthdays, and it got more and more noisy. Thank goodness we had finished eating and did not have to stay much longer…
