My missus and I dropped by here last Monday for lunch as we were thinking of having their nasi kerabu that we had not have had for sometime now but unfortunately, we were informed that they no longer served that every day, only on Saturdays.
That probably explained why the place was quite empty…
…even though it was already noon. Obviously, their nasi kerabu was the main draw, drawing crowds there by the droves at any time of day. I really wonder why they would want to stop betting on a winning horse – maybe a lot of work would be involved so they decided to cut it down to just once a week.
I noticed that they had some new items on their menu…
…and I certainly would give the one concerned top marks for his or her beautiful handwriting on the little blackboards.
I had nasi kak wok (RM5.00)…
…before but not here and no, I certainly was not impressed so it got me wondering why there was such a long queue at the stall at the bazaar every day during the month of Ramadan. Personally, I would think the nasi kuning ayam berempah would be heaps nicer but since they had it here, I decided to give it a try…
…and no, I still could not see what the attraction was. Whatever they used to marinate the chicken prior to frying did not seem to make a difference and they could have been a lot more generous with the sambal cili…
The somewhat diluted fish curry gravy was, at best, just so-so but it sure helped to make the otherwise rather dry dish a bit more palatable.
My missus had their tomato rice with ayam masak merah (RM7.50)…
…which we thought was quite all right, not anything to get us running back for more but I would rate it a lot higher than the nasi kak wok that I had.
I have tried quite a lot of the items on their menu here and yes, there had been a few that I truly enjoyed and would not mind having again but I honestly do not think these two made the grade…and I guess should anyone want to drop by here for their nasi kerabu, they will just have to wait till Saturday.
WARONG CAFE (2.318841, 111.831732), formerly Sri Tanjung Cafe, is located among the shops in between Jalan Tapang and Jalan Tapang Timur towards the end of Jalan Kampung Nangka – RTM Sibu is located right across the road on the right.
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! 
When you say waiting for saturday, I thought you are saying waiting to go church.
The handwriting looks really neat, nice!
I had tried nasi kerabu once, not really used to eating blue colour rice
The blue pea flower is the current craze, a lot of people are drinking it as tea – great for health. It is quite tasteless though, just blue…unless the one you had used colouring, not the natural dye using this flower.
Yes, Saturday evening is church day unless I have something on in which case, we will go on Sunday. The nasi kerabu here is so nice and so popular that you would be lucky if you can still get it by lunchtime. Often sold out.
The beautiful and neat handwritings on the little cute blackboards reminds me of both my kids’ handwritings.
Oh? They have such nice handwriting. How’s your boy doing in Kuching? Going to tie the knot yet? Going to invite me or not? LOL!!!
Thanks, my son is doing fine in Kuching and has settled down already.
Already? Aiyor!!! And you did not invite me? Sobsssss!!! LOL!!!
I just had 3 small packs of biscuits as my lunch at 12:30pm, I felt so hungry right now after looking all the food pictures in this blog. Not only this post, all the food pics in earlier posts are killing me.
Look on the bright side – that is why you are not the same shape and size as me. LOL!!!
they should also offer nasi dagang to complete the menu! 😀
I’ve tried nasi dagang, Terengganu’s specialty but no, it did not get me jumping with delight. Definitely not a fan of the curry and the fish – ikan tongkol with its rotten wood-like texture and strong fishy smell. I think there were people selling that at Ramadan but of course, I did not buy.
Nasi kerabu. Now you have me craving for it. Sound like they have lot to offer but nothing meet your standard. ^^
Some people would probably enjoy them but not me, not these two new items that we tried…and I don’t think I would like that ikan tongkol either, not a fan of the fish – the texture is like wood and some varieties have a very strong fishy smell. They do have some good things on their menu though – other than the nasi kerabu, the nasi lemak is good, I would rank it as No. 2 in town…and the nasi ayam too.
