Last weekend, IR1968 seemed to live on the highlight - firstly, for beingness featured inward The Haven, The Edge's pullout periodical together amongst the other places at Terrace @ Hock Choon in addition to secondly, inward the Malaysian Insider's nutrient blog. My involvement was definitely piqued thus nosotros decided to see the house terminal calendar week for a quick dinner.
the Chinoiserie, udang kuning goreng, perkedel jagung
I must acknowledge I was fascinated when I read close this house that kickoff started out inward Hong Kong, where it has 2 branches. I loved the agency it looked amongst the attractive ruby-red filligree lights matched amongst Chinese styled slice of furniture given a lick of white pigment that made it to a greater extent than modern vs fuddy duddy ancient.
gado gado
The bill of fare is an interesting mix of Indonesian favourites similar gado gado, perkedel in addition to Chinese classics such equally wontons, wonton noodles in addition to fifty-fifty a double boiled shark's os soup (one of my favourite all fourth dimension soups for its abundant collagen).
the apartment tauhu telur goreng, kambing bakar, refreshing H2O ice lemongrass ginger drink
I left the ordering to Splashie Boy in addition to he got actually carried away amongst the publish of dishes he ordered. I jurist he only wanted me to consume since he knew I hadn't eaten whatever dejeuner that day. We absolutely loved the perkedel jagung (4 pieces for RM15) - fritters made amongst sugariness tasting corn niblets in addition to prawns chopped into pieces. Simply yummy stuff. We balanced out the sinful fritters amongst the salubrious gado gado (RM18), a mix of long beans, edible bean sprouts, difficult boiled eggs in addition to potatoes topped amongst crackers. The most of import business office of this unproblematic dish is the peanut sauce. While it had chunky peanuts in addition to was aromatic, I felt it lacked an extra oomph that pushed it to greatness.
We had keen expectations for the tahu goreng telur (RM18), in all probability because it is non slow to larn keen ones here. Most places have got stopped serving them in addition to at best they were mediocre. One of the best ones I have got tasted has been at Sanur inward Singapore - a column of eggy custard wrapped inward a crispy fluffy deep fried golden chocolate-brown strands. At IR1968, they produce things differently equally it's to a greater extent than similar an omelette filled amongst chunks of tofu. While it was fried to golden crispy strands in addition to topped amongst lots of julienned vegetables, I was really dissapointed since I missed the other version. Usually served amongst only a drizzle of the sugariness in addition to addictive kicap manis, this to a greater extent than sophisicated version came amongst a peanut sauce (the same 1 used for gado gado) in addition to fried shallots.
Avoiding the ox natural language (a for sure someone does non similar to have got ox natural language spell I'm ever game!), nosotros ordered the safer dishes such equally udang kuning goreng (RM42) - a type of prawns coated amongst a buttery sauce tinged amongst chillies. While the sauce was nice, I didn't similar the mushy texture of the prawns that signaled only 1 affair - they're non fresh. Kambing bakar (RM32) was tender lamb cutlets served amongst a piquant sauce that didn't brand out tastebuds outburst out inward vocal either.
Our overall impression of the house - non in addition to so hot for our tastebuds equally the nutrient didn't have got the mouthwatering oomph-la-la nosotros were looking for. I'm non for sure if it's withal opening jitters but I reckon it volition live on a long spell earlier nosotros provide for seconds to this place, unless our friends asking otherwise.
