hill of buttered prawn |
A night detour for a quick dinner brings myself and my companian HH at this well hidden restaurant across the big monsoon drain near Vistana Hotel, Jalan Pekeliling. Its sort of a happening place too, situated next to a budget hotel where boarders come and enjoy their dinner and being entertained by a band called "Masih Ada Yang sayang-Pop Yeh Yeh with its sparkling disco lights. HH had a 360 degrees mood change from yawning to humming th song "Lahauba...", a really evergreen Malay song.

chinese fried rice with chilli on the side |
Back to our dinner, I ordered the simple Chinese fried rice while HH had fried noodles. The fried rice is really the authentic style with lots of shrimps, diced carrots and long beans, eggs and squid with a tinge of pleasing taste teasing my taste bud. The Singapore mee siam (fried noodles) is soft with squids and eggs and lots of crunchy bean sprouts. It is very mild and not too spicy.

To add protein to our other wise carbo laden food, we both order buttered prawn and calamari. However, the buttered prawn were fried with curry leaves, thus leaving a strong smell and contradicted the buttery aroma of the butter. The calamari, is anything but calamari. It sits flat on the serving plate and might as well called it fried squids instead!

Over all, it is a nice new experience, and the Chinese fried rice really the star of the night earning a respectable 8 on Acepaizah's scale, while I give a 6 for the Buttered Prawn, for tasting "curry-ly" and for shocking me with the ultimate bill, which differs from the menu.
la la lahaubaaaa
