Yesterday, the 13th of January, was my sister’s birthday but it was not convenient for us to celebrate it together on the actual day as being a Sunday, we would be sending my girl to her school in the jungle and dinner would be out for sure as she could not be here with us. That was why we agreed on doing it first and went for lunch on Saturday instead.
She suggested having it here and of course, it was perfectly all right with us as we’ve always enjoyed the food there. This time around, we decided to order some different dishes for a change but as it was for a birthday, there was no running away from their fried mee sua with the golden eggs…
…for longevity, posterity and prosperity!
No, we did not want the Thai-style mango chicken this time around nor their pandan chicken so we asked the boss what we could have instead. He suggested the poultry, boneless, fried with salted egg and insisted that it would be different from the salted egg spare ribs that we would always order. It turned out to be more or less the same…
…except that the meat was different but having said that, my girl commented that it was very much nicer than the pork done this way.
We had the Four Heavenly Kings…
…the four types of beans ching chao (fried plain) instead of the usual – with hay bee (dried prawns) as my sister is allergic to those crustaceans and my girl said she liked it done this way a lot more too.
There was one dish that we used to order quite a lot a long time ago but somehow or other, for some reason, we had not had it since time immemorial. This was their grilled lamb with lemon sauce…
…and yes, it was really good except that I thought the serving was kind of small. Probably that is because lamb does not come cheap here but anyhow, there was enough to go round. Of course, my girl had the lion’s share – she so loves lamb!
The total, inclusive of rice and drinks, came up to RM72.00 and the nice boss very kindly waived the RM2.00 and collected only RM70.00 for the delightful lunch. Thank you so very much to my sister for the treat and a very Happy Birthday once again – hope you had a great one yesterday and may the Good Lord bless you abundantly all the days in the year ahead. Cheers!!!
