So cheap…

We did not go out to eat at some place nice on Saturday (yesterday) because it was raining so very heavily all morning, as well as most of the afternoon. In the end, my missus just went out to the restaurant /food court near our house to tapao some dishes for our meals.

We had not been buying from there for a while now because my missus went a bit too often and I was beginning to feel quite sick of the food. Besides, they do not seem to give so much anymore unlike before when RM10.00 would get us one tiffin carrier full of a meat dish! So very cheap!

My girl seemed to enjoy this chicken dish (RM10.00)…

…but somehow, it did not tickle my fancy.

The deep-fried nam lu pork (RM10.00)…

…looked hard and dry but I enjoyed the taste. I certainly liked it more than the chicken.

The ladies fingers (RM5.00)…

…was very nice even though it looked rather plain, nothing to get excited about. I’ve seen a lot of articles lately about the goodness of ladies fingers and I do enjoy eating the vegetable. I enjoy simply boiling them lightly and eating them just like that, still quite green and crunchy. It would go so well with sambal belacan, of course!

The total for the food was only RM25.00, excluding the rice and that worked out to around RM8.00 per person for the three of us, around RM4.00 if we calculate for two meals, lunch and dinner. That is cheaper than the much-talked about Menu Rahmah programme in the country, aimed at putting food on the table of those poor folks who are desperately trying to make ends meet. With more keeping the prices low, instead of jacking up all the prices anyhow they like for no obvious reason, it does look like there is hope yet, the light at the end of the tunnel or over the horizon.

GRAND WONDERFUL FOOD COURT (2.309601, 111.845163)…

…is located along Jalan Pipit, off Jalan Dr Wong Soon Kai, on your right. You can also go in via Jalan Pipit from Jalan Pahlawan – go straight ahead till you get to it on your left.
