A lady friend first recommended us this eatery about a month ago. Since its opening, our plans to go together to try out the food didn't go through. Finally on Tuesday, we were able to meet up with our lady friend at this eatery for dinner.
We went there early to avoid the dinner crowd. We had seen customers standing outside waiting for tables during the peak dinner time. When we walked in about 5.45 pm, our lady friend was already seated at a centre table waiting for us.
The menu.
Stir fried braised duck with preserved salted beans and chili.
Very flavourful and a bit spicy - MYR15.00
Fish head curry in clay pot - MYR 38.00
Oops! I didn't realized the pot was so messy!
Stir fried sweet potato leaves with garlic - MYR 7.00
My almost finished bowl of white porridge.
They serve both rice and porridge but we all opted for porridge.
Total cost of dinner for 3 people inclusive of 4 bowls of porridge and drinks = MYR 65.00

Then He asked them, "When someone lights a lamp,
does he put a box over it to shut out the light?
Of course not! The light couldn't be seen or used.
A lamp is placed on a stand to shine and be useful.

Curry fish with porridge! So adventurous
ReplyDeleteThis curry is the thick version.
DeleteThe braised duck looks delicious. We would eat porridge for breakfast made with milk and sugar.
ReplyDeleteHi Mamas, will that be oat porridge? I like oat porridge too.
DeleteIs the fish head curry good?

ReplyDeleteIf you like thick curry gravy, then you will like this fish head curry.
DeleteIs the duck dish very salty? Since it has preserved salted beans?
ReplyDeleteIt is not really very salty. Just right to go with white rice or plain porridge.
DeleteI would try duck with beans, something new for me)

Hi Tanya, it is a savoury, slightly spicy dish, very yummy.
DeleteI want some of each dish. Our family got together last Wednesday and we had some excellent Chinese food. There was plate after plate of delightful and delicious food. I thought of you.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day Nancy. ☺
Thank you, Sandee for thinking of me. Good to know that you enjoyed the Chinese meal with your family.
DeleteI no longer can eat any food with soy in it but I love Chinese food and used to make it from scratch very often and served rice on the side.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that Sweet Potato leaves and vines were edible. I have planted some in my garden for the first time this year.
Have a great weekend Nancy.
Hugs,
JB
Hi Julia, sweet potato leaves are very nice to eat. Take only the young leaves and shoots and you will have to peel the skin off its stem.
DeleteAn unusual building from the exterior!
ReplyDeleteHi William, it is a 2-storey shop building.
DeleteThis looks like a really nice place to eat...
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, its a nice, little place and it is newly renovated.
DeleteLooks like a great place, Nancy! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, its quite a comfortable place to have our meal.
DeleteI can't remember the last time I had duck. Looks good. I laughed because you went early to avoid the crowd. Sounds like me and my man!!!
ReplyDeleteLol! we always try our best to avoid the crowd. We think alike!
DeleteBraised duck with salted beans goes well with porridge. Porridge for me anytime. Love the sweet potatoes leaves too.
ReplyDeleteHi Irene, looks like we are porridge fans. Anytime I prefer porridge more than rice.
DeleteThis looks like another great food find, Nancy. I love the sweet potato leaves - plain, just the way I like all my vegs. ^.^
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. Most times it is plain fried, sometimes it is fried with sambal belacan.
