Pitter...patter...went the rain....
On a rainy solar daytime inwards October, 3 of us took refuge inwards this cosy nook correct side past times side to Surisit.
We had braved the torrential tempest for a seize amongst teeth as well as was pleasantly surprised amongst this homey identify filled amongst sometime LPs, comfy chairs as well as welcoming vibe.
There's no newspaper menu. Instead nosotros walked upward to the counter as well as read off the chalkboard to hit upward one's heed what to fellowship for our mid-day meal.
It was a rather quick choice since the card was limited - Western dishes mingling amongst Middle Eastern items picked upward past times the owners during their studies inwards Yemen.
Kacang politician (RM8) was the showtime choice. This fava edible bean dip ordinarily constitute inwards Johor is minus the egg similar how they serve it inwards Yemen.
"Would you lot similar an egg amongst your dip?" nosotros were asked. We nodded since that was the means nosotros ordinarily swallow the dip mashed together amongst the fried egg.
It was no fine dining fare just the dish enveloped us amongst a warmth as well as a totally experience adept factor.
Comfort seems to last the large buzz give-and-take inwards Mukha...in its decor as well as the food.
The beef bamia (RM15) was to a greater extent than or less other prime number representative amongst minced beef cooked amongst okra (or to to a greater extent than or less ladyfingers) amongst a petty spice to function into interesting.
One spoon was never enough, every bit nosotros ladled the tum comforting dish onto crispy Arab toasts to enjoy.
I liked the lamb cutlets (RM29) beautifully grilled to a caramel chocolate-brown colour. Each slice is similar a lollipop amongst a dash of Mukha's ain blend of spices that I piece of cake savour. It's non A+ perfect since the spices are rather mild just I bask the whole combo amongst the crush potatoes as well as french beans.
The Gulf Rice (RM16) was a let-down amongst a rather ordinary taste. Akin to our briyani, this version amongst chicken, vegetable chutney, poppadum as well as chutney didn't excite us at all.
Everything is washed downwardly amongst a cuppa of their Shahi or mint tea that is served inwards squeamish drinking glass cups.
Someone relives his American days amongst an fellowship of Cherry Coke.
To end, nosotros looked forwards to desserts. Red Velvet was the master copy intention just it had sold out then instead nosotros settled for pavlova (RM9.50) as well as banoffee pie (RM8.50).
Everything felt lite every bit air...even though nosotros know it ain't particularly the creamy calorie laden banoffee pie amongst the real brusk biscuit crumb. As nosotros licked our lips as well as enjoyed the pavlova topped amongst fruits, the pelting had subsided. Just inwards fourth dimension every bit nosotros walked off.
Will nosotros return...is the question? I reckon nosotros may since the identify scored high on the comfort quotient. While the nutrient won't just stone the world, it was all the same rather nice amongst a experience adept factor.
