Sloppy Chic

On the fine breezy lazy Sunday, I had a rather different lunch. Thanks to CK Lam and Big Boys Oven, I had a special lunch!

P/S: there were like 10 of us there for the food tasting.

Destination: The Wok Cafe @ The Strand Kota Damansara.

I was charmed by the homely deco. How not to enjoy lunch in places like this? Thumbs up for the ambiance.

First dish served was the the must-have Penang food: Prawn Mee Soup @ RM7.

Love the soup!

Char Kuay Teow @ RM8.

Ahhhh can you see the big fresh prawns? Yum! I love CKT, wish they could add some cockles though. I would definitely go back for this the next time.

The Lor Bak @ RM8.

It is actually crispy pork roll marinated with the 5-spice-powder. My mom always makes this for chinese new year it is like once-a-year thing for me.

And and… Hokkien Char @ RM8.

I always love Hokkien noodles! But I think this is abit different from the usual one I have, this has more gravy.

Hmmm I think this is Curry Mee @ RM7. I don’t really like this as I prefer the piping hot and spicy one! And I am not so good with coconut milk in my food. ( I always have stomach upset after eating coconut milk)

Fried chicken! It is actually called Inche Kabin. The chicken is marinated with lemon grass, tumeric and local spices. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.

Btw, for poultry, the dishes come in 3 sizes. > S (RM14) M (RM20) and L (RM26).

The doorway to the kitchen. Very classic right?

This is Kiam chay duck soup. I always love soup with tomato and salted vege. Very appetizing.

The soup also comes in 3 sizes. > S (RM9) M (RM14) and L (RM19).

This is something new to me: Perut Ikan. It tastes exactly the same as asam laksa without noodles, I can’t really taste the fish stomach though. Price starting from RM9.

Pan fried asam prawns. I don’t know about the price though. If you are a prawn-shell-hater, this is for easy peasy for you. The shell has been peeled, so it is absolutely trouble-free, and it is delicious! Ahhh I am missing the prawns now!

We also had chee cheong fun. I am not a big fan of this dish, so, it didn’t strike me as much as other dishes.

This is something special, called the Hong Bak. It is actually 3-layer-pork if you see carefully. I can’t tell what’s in the gravy, but the gravy goes really well with rice! And the fat layer doesn’t feel fatty at all!!!

Price starting from RM14.

What’s a wholesome meal without vegetables right?

Introucing Jiu Hoo Char. It is actually turnips fried with carrots, cabbage, mushroom and dried cuttlefish. You should eat the dish wrapped with the lettuce and sambal. I love this dish! It is usually one of the ingredients for popiah too.

And finally, the long awaited dessert.
