breakfast ..nasi lemak and baked beans
Friday last i was having breakfast, which i rarely do actually on week days, at this eatery and i have a dilemma of choosing what to order.
I am sure this is a normal hair wrenching decision making process that mostly people endure when they are very hungry and have specific likings for certain food or dishes.
Well, my difficult choice then was between the latest craze in town, "the Ayam Penyek".Does it mean in English,'Battered chicken?" and also a craving for "Mee Jawa" ,some form of curried gravy Noodles dish,an all time favourite.
Fancy mixing them both? Not possible so i ended up with a brunch dish of "Ayam Penyek".
This dilemma relates to my previous observation of seeing a mushrooming of Fusion Food outlets,what they offer are "hybrids or mixtures" of various kind of food.
Ranging from a mix of Thai cuisine with Western or a Chinese delicacy with a Malay favourite.
This sudden appearance of such elegantly name kind of restaurants must have been to cater for fickle minded people like me who just cannot make a firm choice of a favourite dish, so here goes Chicken chop in a tomyam!!!
I have though been a practitioner of fusion food for many many years ,well only at buffet breakfast at hotels.
Just like today was having breakfast at the Damai Resort Hotel a "fusion" of Nasi lemak(Flavoured rice ) and baked beans. Beat that Man, a great fusion that guarantees you a satisfied meal!!!!
Talking about popular food places, last night decided to have a Chinese meal at this place, Lim Hock Ann(LHA) restaurant in Buntal area.
Wow, the place was very crowded and everything was a struggle; from finding a parking space, cajoling to get your food ordered and a real patient wait for the dishes to arrive at your table.
Frankly i never understand why LHA is such a popular eating spot.
It was quite a distance from Kuching city, the right word to describe the restaurant is a wooden ramshackle that needs urgent repairing. Further more it is not exactly a Grade A outlet when it comes to cleanliness and the scenery was not even inspiring.
Well, until you savour some of the dishes, quite ravishing and the price reasonable.
The LHA owners must know their business very well, people will come to your restaurant if you have good delicious food to offer and it doesn't cost the customer a bomb.
My only advice to them is please don't turn it into another Fusion outlet, you are already a master at Chinese food and just remain that way.
I will eat my Ayam Penyek somewhere else, no problem sir!!
