Poppo Kanteen again

Since Poppo Kanteen is a new eatery in Sri Petaling, we went back to try other items on their menu, especially the mutton and beef dishes.

Briyani Gam Mutton - MYR17.90 nett. There is a lot of mutton underneath the rice. The mutton is tender but the dark gravy is on the sweet side with a strong taste of star anise and clove which is unlike the taste of briyani gam mutton that I have eaten before. There are pieces of carrots and potatoes in the small bowl of curry given. The acar (pickled raw cucumber, onion, pineapple) is sourish sweet and tasty.

Nasi Lemak Chicken Rendang (Coconut milk rice with chicken cooked in spices and coconut milk) - MYR8.90 nett. We ordered Beef Rendang but was told it was sold out so we chose chicken rendang. They gave us a big piece of chicken breast meat but the default portion of rice given was quite small, good for people who wants to consume less carbohydrates.

Cendol - MYR4.90 nett - it is sweet with a tinge of saltiness in the coconut milk on coarse ice shavings and there are corn niblets which is not usually present in cendol.

Poppo Cham (cold) - MYR4.90 nett - cham means mix in Cantonese and normally for cham, it will be a mix of tea and coffee but this Poppo Cham drink has milo in it too. The milo taste in this drink overpowered the coffee and tea so we will order the usual cham next time because we prefer coffee and tea.

Total: MYR36.60 nett. We will be back because I have yet to try their mutton curry and beef rendang.

    1. Hahaha, I don't think Poppo cooks this herself in this outlet. :)

  2. Ya, cannot lah... Milo cannot be added into a normal "cham" one... The only thing that works well with Milo is Neslo - Nescafe + Milo.

  4. I always thought the word "gam/gum" in nasi briyani means that they cook the chicken or lamb together with the nasi briyani e.g. if it's nasi briyani gam kambing, the lamb would be saffron/rice flavored and comes with the rice (without gravy).

    Maybe I'm mistaken though, that was just my impression.

    I had briyani the other day too, also lamb curry, actually I prefer it with curry coz it tastes nicer. :)

    1. So far so good. Have not tried all the beef and mutton dishes yet so can still go there since the price is ok.

  7. I actually love corn and won't mind it in the chendol though it will end up like ABC with santan. But I just love corn more than the chendol itself. Haha. If I am ever in Sri Petaling, I'll definitely give this place a try as I can see that you are a fan of it.

  9. Strange to have milo in 'cham'. Milo is more expensive then either tea or coffee.

    1. This place got aircond and nice decor so the price is better when compared to Paparich and Old Town White Coffee.
