I have wanted to try to have lunch at this restaurant since the last year. However, I did not have the opportunity for reasons being it was always very crowded on weekends. Other times, I was always in a hurry to reach my destination.
This time, on my journey back to KL from Ipoh, I decided to give it a try. Since the day was a Monday, I hope to be able to park my car safely and to get a seat at the table at the restaurant.
Traffic on the North-South Expressway had begun to slow down after Gua Tempurung. The very slow moving of traffic was until Tapah Interchange. I continued on and exited via Bidor Interchange. I needed a toilet break and also to re-fuel. I stopped at a Petronas station at Sungkai town. After re-fuel completed, I continued to drive along the country road until I reach the restaurant. I was glad that there was ample car park space. After I parked my car, I walked towards the restaurant. There was already a large number of customers but still many available seats at the long tables. This was my first time ever to this place. So, I asked some guidance from the staff how to make my order.
First, go to the rice counter to order how many sets of rice do you require. A rice set contains a bamboo of rice with ulam (vegetables), sambal, chilli soy sauce and curry. Then, go to the dishes counters for your selection of dishes. One side is the grilled items while the other are the dishes with gravy (such as curries or yellowish masak lemak). There are many choices of dishes, whether fish, chicken, lamb or beef. I chose a piece of grilled honey chicken and grill ikan cencaru. Ah! Remember to pay first before you eat. After placing my food on my table, I went to buy my drinks at the drinks counter.
The specialty of the rice is it is wrapped in leaves, stuffed in bamboo and steamed until cooked. The rice has a special taste and fragrance. Other than Malaysians, tourists from Thailand and Singapore also are frequent customers here.
Satisfied with my lunch, I continued my journey to KL. Already thinking of when to come and makan here again.
