This Friday night, since we didn't make any reservation, and didn't want to have food at the Time Square food court, my friend and I decided to walk around Leighton Road and eventually picked Nam Ah
After browsing the menu for sometimes I decided to have the Malayan set while my friend wanted to try some western name dishes.
For the western dishes he picked the
Onion Soup with cheese - once the soup same we were a bit shock cos it looks like a creme of tomato soup with a bit of onion with a layer of baked cheese, and my friend said it really tastes like a creme of tomato soup
Beef Stroganoff with rice - another surprise actually it again looks an ordinary beef in tomato sauce, no taste of creme nor milk nor butter and mustard and the veggie has not be refined
Frankly the taste of both dishes were ok even better than lots of 'Char Chan Teng' out there, but it's just not western enough....
On the other hand the Malayan set though not perfect was good in terms of Asian cusine though there is area for improvement....?( the restaurant was here even before I was born..... oh well)
Beef Asam - Beef Stock with the asam spice (turmeric a common ingredient for Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesian soup dishes) add up with tomato, pineapple and the taste is a bit too sweet, maybe they used the syrup from the canned pineapple...
Prawn in Satay sauce, a stir-fried dish the prawn was crispy outside and the meat tender, the peanut flavour from the sauce was just right..
Chicken Satay they are quite generous of the Chicken skewer
Malaysian Beef Brisket Curry on Rice, the taste was just right, not too spicy/hot but have the exotic flavour.
