The ngor hiang (meat roll)…was good. My girl also had that and she had her favourite brinjal with minced meat and also some fried tofu mixed vegetable (baby corn and stuff) dish that she liked a lot.

We should have stopped there but I saw they had ladies’ fingers and I asked for that too, fried with sambal hay bee/udang kering (dried prawns)…and it was really good – I am pretty sure we would want to order that again the next time we drop by.

The waitress came and informed us that the cook had made a mistake with our order for their honey pork ribs and had cooked a sweet and sour version of the meat instead but we could cancel the order, if we so wished. We said that we did not mind and would have it all the same (18.00)…and yes, I rather liked it even though it was not what I had in mind initially.

My girl wanted their murtabak daging (beef)…and yes, she enjoyed it very much except that for reasons unknown, it was so very big! She could not finish it all so she had it packed to be eaten later at her quarters.

I dropped by here last Sunday morning to buy their nasi biryani…with mutton curry for our lunch…and a tosai for my girl’s breakfast. When I wanted to pay for my purchases, the nice proprietor, Guna, said, in his own words, “in the spirit of Chinese New Year”, it would be on the house and he simply refused to accept any payment no matter how I insisted.

I also ordered the murtabak daging…with fresh beef filling as it did not occur to me at that point in time that my girl could not eat that – being made from wheat flour, it was not gluten free. I had to eat it by myself in the end and yes, it was really very good – the fresh beef and Bombay onion inside…made it come across like the fillings you find in those western beef pies…and it sure beat the ones with corned beef filling that one would find at most places here.

I tried a bit of the soup and it was really good, so very tasty, bursting with the flavours of the serai (lemon grass) and all the herbs and spices that went into the cooking. Perhaps it is not the usual practice to add some greens but I think they do add taugeh (bean sprouts) usually and there was none in the bowl I had.

I got carried away and I took the daging masak hitam (black-cooked beef) and the nice chicken rendang that I had with my nasi lemak on our last visit here and of course, I simply couldn’t resist the chicken liver

Now, the moment of truth – the noodles (RM5.00)…Yes! It most certainly got my nod of approval and tasted exactly like how I would cook it at home. I sure enjoyed that! Even the fried egg was done the way I like it, the yolk still runny and the golden fringe all along the edges.

The mum had the char chu (fried and then cooked) mee (RM7.00)…our soup version of the Foochow fried noodles, from the stall next to the one selling the Bovril mee and she loved it! It had intestines in it and that accounted for the higher-than-usual price tag.

I had the roti canai kosong (RM1.20) and the roti telor (RM2.00)…and yes, both were as good as before and what I liked most about this place, compared to the rest, was the dhal dip…and yes, that too was very nice still – thick and rich with lots of dhal and it was a little spicy which made me enjoy it all the more.

Fish noodles (RM10.00) Of course I asked first what fish they were using and they said baung, a freshwater river fish and I was fine with that. If it had been dory, I would not touch it with a 10-foot pole. They were very generous with the fish…but unfortunately, they did not fillet the fish and just cut it into slices so one would have to be very careful with the bones and eat slowly and carefully.

The liver soup was surprisingly very nice, very strong on the traditional Foochow red wine. I did not expect that as it was not red in colour but then again, the superior quality ones, very well filtered, will be lightly orange in colour, not red…so if you go for a bowl of mee sua here and everything, the soup and the chicken, is horrendously red in colour, then they have used the cheaper wine of poorer quality and probably a bit of the ang chao too, nothing to get excited about – it’s just a sales gimmick!

Everyone at my table were in agreement over the fact that this prawn dish…was the best that evening and the jellyfish in the middle was very good too.

The roti bakar kacang pool (RM6.00)…looked decent with three slices of roti bakar (toast)…which I felt was rather under-toasted and an egg…that was burnt whilst still uncooked around the yolk.

The black pepper lamb (RM22.00)…was certainly an improvement from how I remembered it to be. My late father used to buy home from here for everyone in the house to eat, those years when my late mum was bedridden. This time around, the meat was very nice and tender and unlike before, the sauce did not taste like what came out of the bottle like what one would get when eating that once-a-year burger in the hope that one would strike it rich and be very prosperous!

My girl also wanted their salad prawn balls (RM13.00)…and I would say that this dish was my favourite of the three.

We wanted fish and settled upon snow fish…also known among the people here as Alaska fish or 鱈魚 in Mandarin which is, in fact, cod. My missus said it would be very expensive as one slice at the frozen foods stores would cost over RM20.00 each and we got two slices but as far as I was concerned, I thought it was perfectly all right as we would not be eating it all that often and besides, my girl enjoys it very much, just like how she loves the just-as-expensive salmon.

The mum ordered the garlic naan (RM5.00)…to share and the chicken masala (RM13.50)…for the gravy to dip the roti in and the meat.

Ordered the mutton biryani (RM21.00)…The curry was absolutely perfect, exactly like how the Indian guy would cook it. I heard that he had got ready the paste and herbs and everything before he left and all the Indonesian lady had to do was to cook.

She wanted their authentic Indian mutton masala biryani rice (RM21.00)…She sure enjoyed that and she managed to finish all the rice! She could not finish all the meat in the curry though so I had to help her with a chunk or two.

I went for the sizzling nasi biryani with beef rendang (RM15.90)…except that it was not sizzling when it was served but I really enjoyed it…a lot!

This bowl of stewed pork rice (RM7.90)…that I would not mind ordering sometimes as they do it pretty well here plus the complimentary soup…with tiny cubes of tofu and sweet corn that comes with some of their dishes is very nice as well.

My girl wanted their sizzling barbecued honey spare ribs (RM25.20)…so of course, whatever she wants, she gets! It was as nice as before and had the very familiar corn-on-the-cob and sweet peas but instead of the wedges, they now served this bowl of potato gratin…in a bowl separately alongside…and yes, my girl loved that too. She was worried initially that she would not be able to finish as the serving was huge and would probably have to enlist my help but her fears were absolutely unfounded – she licked everything clean! LOL!!!

I also asked for his pian sip (RM3.00)…and this, I would say, was good, as good as any of the good ones I have had around town.

Ordered their famous sweet and sour fish. This is o chio (ikan bawal hitam) for RM 26. It’s a pretty good sized fish and it’s been deep fried so all the bones and fins are edible. I love their sweet and sour sauce too

The long beans fried with egg…was so very fragrant – how come we do not get that when we fry our own at home, I wonder. I would prefer slicing the vegetable more thinly though so it would be much easier to chew.

Minus the fragrance of the spices, it was more like plain soy sauce broth. Otherwise, everything was fine with it – let’s just say this is one place to consider if you are in this part of town and you feel like having kueh chap. I had the special (RM8.00) but I asked for an extra stewed egg so that was RM9.00 altogether.

We all had the nasi ayam penyet (RM5.50)…and yes, it was very good – I loved it and I liked how the vegetables were lightly blanched – they would just serve them raw at most, if not all, of the other places and I am not entirely fond of long beans that way.

All in all, I would say it was all right even though the cucur wasn’t the way it should be and it was not all that nice, actually. I may go for it should I happen to be around there but no, I’m afraid you will not see me going out of my way to eat this.

We also ordered the lamb with lime sauce…and I only found out that night that they had mayonnaise in it with the lime. It was nice but I think it was nicer when we had it before – the meat was not grilled that well enough.

This very nice claypot fish dish…which was very nice though I wouldn’t mind a little bit more fish and yam and tofu puffs – the next time I order that, I will certainly ask for more of those and maybe, pay a little bit more.

We had the sizzling venison on a hot plate…something we had not had for quite sometime and the general consensus was that it was very nice.

We love their beef pies a lot so I ordered one (RM9.00)…to share for the simple reason that we all had our own individual orders and yes, it was, as always, very nice. I do wish though that they would do something about the presentation, some lettuce and cherry tomatoes by the side or a couple of slices of tomato and cucumber perhaps to give it a bit of colour, if nothing else, instead of serving it on its own just like that…and they could have used a smaller plate, a saucer perhaps – the pie is not that big!

My girl ordered their chicken meatballs with BBQ sauce and mashed potatoes…and yes, the meatballs were good, complemented by the delightful sauce but in her opinion, the mashed potatoes here or here are a cut above this one.

My daughter’s barbecued chicken with fruit salad and baked wedges (RM15.90)…with rosemary sauce was done to perfection…and yes, she too enjoyed her order in no small measure.

I stopped by to buy one (cendol ice cream)…to try. Yes, it was nice but I would say both are nice but this one is a little cheaper – I think that was only RM2.50 a cone.

I’m sure everyone would be able to tell why I was not in the least impressed when I opened the paper cup/bowl (nasi lemak mcd). That fried egg was an absolute disaster…but thankfully, everything underneath…looked pretty good.

I had the yakiniku ebi fry bento (RM17.90)…which included pan-fried beef and vegetables, deep-fried prawns with spicy sauce and mayonnaise served with edamame salad, crabstick and fried fish cake. I particularly liked the beef – I thought that was very nice.

1. suituapui.wordpress.com

TRoku beef set. It was very nice – the beef…was thinly sliced and very tender and I loved the sauce/gravy which went very well with the blanched cabbage underneath.

We also had this pork belly marinated with Korean red chili paste, the gochujang (고추장)…and ate it that same way too. I would say that it was just as nice and we sure would not mind ordering that again the next time we drop by here.

Dolsot bibimbap, RM20.00 (돌솥비빔밥)…so of course, what she wants, she gets and they do it really well here, very much to our liking.

I ordered the moksal (목살) (RM25.00)…or neck meat which I said I would come back to try when we were here previously. It was very nice wrapped in the lettuce provided, along with the chili paste and the garlic slices and the shallots and what not

The giant udang galah (freshwater prawns)…that we also had on her birthday and I loved it so so much, a lot more than the lobster that we had that night and lining the side of the platter were these birthday eggs…served with some very nice special sauce.

1. suituapui.wordpress.com
2. 5 years ago

We enjoyed all the dishes but it was the pla tod samoon prai (RM82.00)… Flavours pla tod samoon prai 1 …that stole the show. We got a huge one, the barramundi, and that never failed to satisfy us each and everytime we had that – this time, of course, was no exception…and as always, we swept everything clean even the garnishing, all that used for the decoration and presentation of the dish.

The fried chicken wings…were very nicely done too, so very tender and juicy

Knowing how much she loves sotong (squid), I asked for their crispy squid ring (RM13.50)…which we all enjoyed even though the batter was quite different from the usual, hence its pale colour.
