I didn't know what kuih Lopez is until I ate it. Instead of sago, it just uses glutinous rice.
Lunch for two pax at Upeh, Midvalley Mall. Our favourite Basil Fried Rice since 2014 when Upeh is still Belanga. The price is about the same since 2014 which is MYR 18.974 nett inclusive of 6% SST.
Previously I showed the Nasi Tumpang as a whole without breaking the rice cone up. Now I break up the prawn nasi tumpang (MYR 10 nett) to show the kerisik (toasted grated coconut) and a prawn. The rice is just as soft as before which I like.
When I saw this Lontong poster, I had to order it because I like to eat compressed rice. The ingredients. Rice cake or compressed rice is what I like to eat. There is also deep fried mee hoon in the lontong which is too oily to be eaten so I just left them. Something I seldom do because I don't like to waste food but trust me, they are just too oily so it is better to walk away.
We went for our regular nasi lemak beef rendang and teh tarik at The Warung, Midvalley Mall. The prices in Sep 2018 are still the same as in Aug 2018 as recorded here so the total is MYR 16.15 nett for 2 pax as we shared this meal.
Nasi Lemak Beef Rendang which costs MYR 11.90+ (MYR 13.09 nett). Total bill is MYR 16.15 nett for 2 pax because we shared this dish so that we can eat more food elsewhere.
Delicious platter filled with 5 types of food item - 5 spice chicken rolls (similar to ngo hiong), crispy popiah, prawn kerabu, chicken and shrimp wanton and deep fried dumplings (sui gao) with what I thought was salted egg yolk fillings in them but later, I noticed that the poster printed "cheesy fortune cookies" as one of the items so it must be that this dumpling is filled with cheese and not salted egg yolk.
Deep fried tilapia served with ulam - long beans, lady fingers, petai, cucumber, ulam raja and daun pegaga. The ulam is refreshing since some of them are raw and some of them are lightly blanched so we finished all of them in no time at all. The fish is crispy and tasty. It is quite similar to this Dancing Fish.
Flavourful Nasi Ulam and Nasi Minyak. The Mutton in the curry is tender and delicious. I think the prawns are grilled before having the Tamarind sauce poured over them because I can taste the natural sweetness of the prawns brought out by grilling. The prawns are very fresh and I hope they will always be this way when I visit this eatery again.
Pulut kuning beef rendang (Turmeric glutinous rice with beef cooked with spices and coconut milk) - MYR9.90+ 6% GST which is MYR10.50 nett. While the price stays the same, the portion now is much smaller.
