My girl and the mum wanted the kampua mee…while I had the mee pok
I asked for a bowl of the beef soup…to share and yes, it was very nice
My cousin loves the kampua here and so do many other people. I’m not such a huge fan since they’re not the most authentic version. Rasa Sayang uses the curly kolo mee noodles and minced meat.
Their mee pok seemed very much smaller, half the width of the regular ones…All in all, I would just say it was all right, not anything that would get me going back there for more…and at the price they charge for it, RM5.00 a bowl, I can easily go for two plates of our kampua mee at some places around town.
However, the complimentary beef soup…was so so good, really thick and rich and bursting with flavours. I sure enjoyed that a lot!
Personally, for that kind of money, I would much sooner go for the eat-all-you-can nasi campur for only RM6.00 per head and this was what I had…the first round. I enjoyed the ayam berempah (spiced chicken) and the fish with the very nice spicy sauce so much that I went back for more, a lot more. The turmeric (kunyit)-marinated fish was good too but I did not grab another one as I was not all that keen on dealing with the bones.
I had the ayam penyet nasi goreng…which was all right. I particularly liked the fried rice…but they seemed kind of stingy with the sambal now – they used to give a lot more.
I asked my girl if she wanted pecel lele for dinner and she said yes so we dropped by the place and that was what she had (RM7.50)…but to our disappointment, the rice was not wrapped in banana leaf… steamed. That is the main draw when it comes to the nasi ayam penyet here, the very thing that puts theirs a head above the rest. Thankfully, other than that, the rest of what my girl had was fine.
This time around, I had the nasi ayam penyet (RM7.50)… The slab of chicken thigh……appeared rather small but it was all right – very nicely done, not hard and dry and actually, that was quite enough for a very nice meal though personally, I do feel that I enjoy their pecel lele (ikan keli/catfish) more. I think I will just stick to that the next time I drop by here again.
I ordered the roti jantan… Yes, it was very nice and the dhal dip was exactly how I would like it – thick and rich and creamy. I sure wouldn’t mind stopping by here again for this should I happen to be around this part of the woods.
I ordered their nasi lemak pandan with sambal sotong (RM6.00)…Thankfully, the nasi lemak sambal…and the sambal sotong……were both very nice except that they were not spicy at all and unlike the one at my favourite place, I could actually see the sotong (squid) in the one here – they were much bigger, it seemed.
A piece of their roti telur (RM2.00)…and a piece of their roti canai (RM1.20)…The former was nice but I did not quite like the doughy taste in the latter.
I asked for the special (RM7.00)…and looking at the price tag on their cabinet…fried chicken was RM3.50 a piece so that was why the non-special nasi lemak would be RM3.50 a plate and RM8.00, if you chose the lamb curry. Nope, the rice was disappointing, not lemak at all, the fried egg was all right though a bit under-done but the sambal was very nice and spicy…and the chicken, even though the piece that I got was breast, was very nicely marinated with whatever and I did enjoy it very much.
I saw these balitongs (siput sudut) masak lemak (cooked with santan/coconut milk) and I sure enjoyed them so much when we were here for their buka puasa buffet around the end of May so of course, I could not resist asking for that…and also a helping of the prawns.
I loved that not very attractive looking fish – I did not know what they marinated it with but it was so very nice
Both my missus and my girl had their very nice vegetable curry…
