Uncle Don no longer feels like the affordable and tasty lunch place anymore.
All in all, my second experience at Uncle Don’s was a pretty pleasant one! The service is much better at this outlet as well. I recommend coming for the lunches if you don’t like crowds, and during dinner/supper if you prefer a livelier atmosphere with drinks and music.
Bro’s spaghetti alfredo was nice and creamy, packed with mushrooms and slices of ham. Granted, no Italian in their right mind would call it actual alfredo but for its price, it’s tasty and value for money.
One of the must-tries here in my opinion is the inari with tempura shrimp. Each plate comes with one piece only, but this is the most addictive shit you’ll ever come across. The shrimp is sizable and not just from the batter, it’s crispy, and there are fried flour bits thrown into the sweet inari as well to lend it texture. Couple it with the sushi rice underneath and a smattering of Jap mayo and salty fish roe on top, and you have a recipe for success. I can eat 5 of these in one go lol.
本来这里简单利落的装潢给我不少好感,但可惜食物方面不给力,很难让我再来第二次了。
Sizzling sisig RM 12: ground pork, sauteed with onions, garlic & chili padi, served in sizling hot plate with egg, calamansi and white rice A Filipino dish originally made of not-so-common part of the pig, I do hope that this one didn't come from the head. The plate certainly did bring the dish to greater heights, turning the meat crispy. Very nice except that it's rather dry to go with rice. The egg helped a bit not not enough.
Despite it’s less than appealing appearance, the stir-fried beef with garlic sauce was one of the most excellent dishes of the night, with juicy beef cubes, still soft and tender in the middle and perfectly seared on the outside, swimming in a savoury, garlicky sauce.
Verdict: Durianity will definitely satisfy durian lovers and those keen on trying something adventurous like durian pizza or fried rice. I’m not that crazy that I want to eat rice with durian, but in the future, who knows?
Durian Soft Serve, 5.90 ringgit. I could not resist, dont judge me, lol. I just could not help myself. I saw many people waiting in line to get their soft serve and I decided to join in. It was yummy! Gooey, thick, packed with durian flavor and all for 5.90 ringgit. Totally worth it.
