Shrunk

Pulut kuning beef rendang (Turmeric glutinous rice with beef cooked with spices and coconut milk) - MYR9.90+ 6% GST which is MYR10.50 nett. While the price stays the same, the portion now is much smaller. You can compare this with the one I had at the end of last year. The glutinous rice portion is less and there is only 2 cubes of beef in the bowl. To be fair, this dish is listed under snacks so that is why the portion is small since it is supposed to be a snack.

Nasi Goreng Selasih (the Malay language) MYR21.70+ 6% GST (MYR23 nett) Fried Rice with Thai Basil/Sweet Basil. This portion is the same as before but they have replaced the shredded cabbage with sticks of raw cucumber and carrot.

We ordered a glass of hot honey ginger drink at MYR5.90+ 6% GST (MYR6.25 nett) which taste fine.

Total bill is MYR39.75 nett for two pax but they did not give me 5 cents back in change so the cost to me is MYR39.80 nett. I was not in the mood to argue so I did not ask them for the 5 cents.

    2. The fried rice portion should be big enough for you.

  2. Oooo...pulut kuning!!! I love that! The last time I had it was 1986 at a nyonya food stall at a coffee shop close to Jaya Supermarket, PJ. So very nice but never came across any shop selling this after that one time. I sure would want to have that again.

  3. Should put the pulut kuning in smaller plate.

    Nasi goreng selasih looked good. I like they served it with crackers. So many crackers some more.

  4. Yet they use such a big plate for the so-called snacks portion. Makes the thing look even more pathetic. :/

    1. There are only two cubes of beef in the curry so I agree with you that the portion is small.

  6. The pulut kuning sure looks like a small portion especially served on a big plate.

  8. The govt's debts are escalating the inflation, making all our food to shrink like that. It was so awful to see such a big plate. I would need 2 plates of that to be full.
