Is it still good to you…

It so happened that I was in the vicinity that morning as I wanted to drop by the supermarket (grocer & deli) there to pick up a few things. I noticed that there was quite a crowd at the shop by the side and when I was done, I decided to go over and have a look.

I noticed that the dishes for the nasi campur were ready and there were quite a few having that even though it was still early in the morning, before 10 o’ clock.  Well, with the ladies out of town at that point in time, I decided to just go ahead and have that as well for brunch and be done with it.

The sambal buah kedondong (ambarella)…

…was good, a bit too sour but good and of course, I could not resist the liver, masak hitam…

The cangkuk manis and pumpkin, masak lemak…

…was excellent – if I had known, I would probably have a double helping of that and skip the paku and baby corn…

…which was actually quite all right as well but it paled in comparison.

The fish…

…was so-so – it probably was one of those frozen ones sold at the supermarkets so let’s just say that I was not all that impressed but yes, the salted egg was fresh and not too salty, definitely a whole lot nicer than what I had here not too long ago.

Yes, I would say that the food here was still as good as it was before. My lunch that day…

…came up to around RM8.00, a bit more expensive than the RM6.00 eat-all-you-can buffet lunch here but I did not mind it one bit, considering the quality and it was also a nice change from all the rest.

While I was eating, this dish…

…came out of the kitchen – the stuffed chili that one would get with one’s nasi kerabu – the real thing, the authentic stuff, not like some ciplak (imitation) wannabe that I had here…and also this plate of pandan chicken…

I certainly would pick those to try had they been available earlier – I guess they would just have to wait till the next time I drop by the shop again.
