So hot

The weather here has been so hot lately that one day I did not feel like eating any food, I just want to have a cold drink. Normally I don't order drinks when I eat out but this time I did.

Left - Assam Fizz (MYR3.5) - The drink is just Sprite or 7-up with 2 pieces of assam boi (preserved salted plum or pickled plum) in it. Right - my drink - Iced Lime Juice without any sugar (MYR2.5). My spouse said there was not enough lime juice in my drink causing it to taste like washing liquid. I am not sure how he knows this as I don't think he drank washing liquid before. I tried a bit of his carbonated sugary drink and that was a mistake as I felt as if my teeth were being coated with sugar after that. I brushed my teeth immediately when I reached home and made a point to remember never to drink carbonated sugary drinks ever again for the rest of my life.

Nasi Dagang (rice steamed in coconut milk and other ingredients such as gingers, shallots and etc) with a piece of Fried Chicken (MYR 12). Includes a hard boiled egg, pickled vegetables and sambal (a spicy condiment made from chili, onions and other ingredients). This fried chicken has a strong turmeric taste which I like. Total bill -MYR18.9 inclusive of 5%  service charge. No government tax. Credit card payments are accepted for bills above MYR30.

Shop front

It opens daily from 11am to 10pm with no break so we always come here for an early dinner at around 4pm when we feel like it. It has air conditioning and the food is reasonably priced so it is a perfect place to eat in during hot days.
