little penang kafe

Went to The Curve for lunch today before W goes off to work, and planned to have Secret Recipe but ended up dining at Little Penang Kafe instead. It's my second time there and the food is still as good as last time. W wanted to try out their Siamese Assam Laksa (which is only available on Friday, Saturday and Sunway; and we've been wondering what's so special about this dish) last time but they were sold out so this time, we asked before being seated. Luckily, they're still serving that. So, W ordered that while I settled for one of their set lunches of mushroom chicken, sambal prawn with petai (stink beans) and mixed pucuk paku (fern) with rice. It costs 13.90MYR, not including taxes, for the set lunch.

The boss himself came over to take our order and after he's done, W suddenly felt like to try out their rojak (vegetable salad dish) as well, so we called out to a waiter and ordered that, too. By the way, I had barley ice and W had iced water, as usual. It wasn't a long before our food arrives and we start digging away. But before that, picca time! -muahaha!-

Serviettes with infos on it ♥♥♥

My set lunch came first. Looks delicious, isn't it? ♥♥♥

The infamous Siamese assam laksa ♥♥♥

Rojak ♥♥♥

Their Siamese Assam Laksa doesn't really taste that good. I mean, it's not up to the standard that we've been expecting, to be honest. The santan is a bit too heavy for our liking. My set lunch on the other hand was a whole lot better than the laksa. I'm giving their mushroom chicken a thumb up, though the sambal prawn with petai tastes good but the portion is too small. They only serve ONE tiny prawn with FOUR slices of petais in that plate. A bit disappointing for a petai lover like me. -sadface- The pucuk paku tastes all right but still, I'd prefer if they don't put too much onions into it. It spoils the whole fern taste imho.

...andandand, the rojak! That's a really good plate of rojak I think. It's not too spicy and not too sour and not too sweet. It's just perfect. Really, you've to go and taste it to know. -grins- I'm not sure about the other dishes available but will definitely go back there again to check them out.
