Last Saturday, after that very heavy Korean lunch that we had, we were still too full by evening so having an early dinner at around 5 before leaving the house to go for the novena and sunset service at our regular church here was out of the question. That was why after the service, past 8 something, we stopped by here en route home, like what we did a few weeks ago, for a late dinner/supper.
I asked for the somewhat plain-looking fried rice (RM4.50)…
…again with their signature three tiny shrimps buried somewhere inside. On our previous visit, I had the set (RM4.50) with the masak hitam beef and one fried egg plus a handful of those mini keropok (fish crackers). Yes, with its lovely wok hei fragrance, it was nice but of course, I did not have it just like that.
To go with it, I ordered their very nice satay, chicken (RM2.00 per stick) and beef (RM2.50 per stick)…
It may be around half the price at the Malay stalls but I did not like their beef, thin and hard, not palatable at all – their chicken and lamb were fine, the last time I had some. I would not say the ones here are a lot more expensive though as they are twice the length and are much thicker too…
…but more importantly, they marinate theirs really well. We absolutely love how very tasty these are and the satay peanut sauce is great too.
I love ketupat with satay but unfortunately, they do not have any here. Anyway, at the Malay stalls here, they usually do not have any either and if they do, it would be those sold in packs at the supermarkets and I often get worried seeing how they are wrapped in plastic and boiled for hours to cook the rice inside. I don’t know why they do not make their own anymore.
The ladies loved the chicken but I liked the beef more and anyway, they only had a couple of sticks each as they had their chicken chop (RM9.50)…
…with mushroom sauce – I guess that alone would be quite filling already seeing that the serving here is usually quite big.
After that very delightful meal, we headed home.
