Atif came home later than normal today and urged me to get ready for he is hungarian and he had said let's find somewhere close to our house to eat. So we tried the stalls we had always noticed on the left side of the road as we come from Sunway before we reach our roundabout to go home.
It's a little Uptown on its own with mini stalls on the side for stuffs like Laksa Penang, Barbequed chicken wings, Otak-otak, Rojak Buah and the main stall even had its own Ikan Bakar stuff that includes Kerang Rebus or Kerang Bakar. The portion is small to begin with but to Atif it was just fine for dinner. Dinner is not suppose to be heavy anyway. Initially I just ordered Kue Teow Bandung since I dont know what to eat, but after the Otak-otak came, I cancelled my order.
If it was at Uptown, a basket of Otak-otak usually comes in 5 pieces for the first round. And each costs 80sen. Elsewhere I have tasted the stalls next to Giant Mall, each costs 70sen but the taste was not as good as the Uptown's.
But here, each costs 70sen but the taste is as good as Uptown's and they come in a good 10 pieces per serving. I had all these to myself!
The only setback at this new place is that, Atif's food didnt come on time or as fast as mine was served. I had honestly finished all my 10 pieces and still his food has not come.
Here is his plain water that came as Ais Kosong and as usual I had my teh o limau panas which came with lemon squeezed inside the tea instead of the normal lime. So yes, no seeds in this and even after I had asked for more 'limau' Atif's food is not here yet.
Right after I put up a question, when will Atif's food arrive, it came. Rice is 1.50, Omelette is 2 and this small portion of Daging Merah is 3.50 which total out Atif's dinner alone at RM7.
Atif felt like, wow, rice is 1.50 why so expensive. I told him, what is cheap now. Sugar is already 2.10/kg. All groceries are going up. Even petrol that we dont drink but the car and the bike do, has gone up, what else is new? Tell me..
I came home and finished these last bit of kai lan I had in the fridge. Bored with sautee-ing them the normal way with soya sauce, I steam-ed the vege first. Then I made the sambal with chicken and just toss the vege in later.
Tastes quite good actually. Oh well, to my liking that is. Atif may find it a little hot for his own tongue. But knowing me, who fails miserably to all his food that is nothing but curry curry and curry, so, sorilah bang.. You'd have to cook your own meals.
