One, not two…

I dropped by here that morning as I was thinking of tapao-ing the or chian (oyster omelette) home for our lunch or dinner. It has been a long time since we last had any but unfortunately, when I got there, I was told that they were out of oysters so what I wanted was not available.

Actually, I had not been there for quite some time and I had not tried a lot of things on their menu, not that they had an elaborate one with plenty of choices. The Penang kway teow th’ng I had the first time I was there was very good and somehow, I am not into curry mee in the morning.

In the end, I ordered their Penang char kway teow/fried flat rice noodles (RM7.90)…

…which turned out to be very good except that there were no cockles (see ham/kerang) in it. There were a few slices of lap cheong (Chinese sausages)and a number of those tiny shrimps…

…egg and taugeh (bean sprouts).

I could tell from the wok hei fragrance when it was served that it would be good and yes, I was right. I just tried a bit though and asked for the rest to be tapao-ed so I could take it home for the ladies to try.

I suppose you may be wondering why I did that when I could have eaten it all by myself and ordered one or two plates to take home for the ladies. Well, it was because I also ordered their nasi lemak (RM7.90)…

…to try. Ooooo…I so love that blue & white ceramic plate! I have one at home and I wished I had five more to make a set of 6.

They certainly were very generous with the fried chicken…

…which turned out to be very nice and I loved the fried egg with the yolk still runny. Unfortunately, the rice was not really lemak and a little salty. The taste was not quite like how the usual nasi lemak should be and sadly, it was the same too with the sambal. In the end, I just ate the chicken and the egg and left everything else behind.

When I got home, it turned out that my missus was cooking beef stew…

…using the imported premium New Zealand grass-fed beef. It turned to be so very nice and it sure made up for the fact that I did not manage to buy the or chain that morning – perhaps I can go back there again another day.
