It does occurred to me that even though the
name of the place refers to a type of local kuih,
the latter does not seem to be present within their current menu. Maybe it has
before but has been unavailable since (because I do notice that the place has
been around for a number of years now). What got me curious though was the fact
that ever since they’d taken over from the previous tenant (that being the Indo Taste 2), customers had been few
and far between but they’d somehow managed to hold on until now. There must be
something special that made them survive this long right? Oh and by the way,
they’re right in front of a more popular hangout eatery called Food Central, within the Fajar Complex
area.
So one evening my mom decided that it’s time
for both of us to check them out (yup, even my mom noticed their somewhat
unusual situation). We had zero prior information on their food so when we arrived;
we’d managed to go through their menu for 10 seconds flat because of how limited
the items were. But I must say that they’d managed to surprise us with their
food. Their menu consists of mainly local cuisines so we’d ordered their
Blackpepper Chicken, Mushroom Steamed Fish and Mix-Vegetables and all of them
had above average tastes. My personal favourite has got to be their Blackpepper
Chicken which tasted more like chicken marinated in some thick sweet soy sauce
but it suited my taste buds. Mom preferred their Mushroom Steamed Fish, as she
liked the fragrant aroma as well as the agreeable way they’d steamed the fish
(as it is not overwhelmed by ginger). One thing that they can consider
improving on (and might contribute to their lack of patrons) is their service.
A waiter was very slow on his feet and was rushing us for an order while
another one was just lounging on a lounge area, busy looking through his phone
without even bothering to acknowledge us. Such a shame though considering the
food was pretty good.
