Selamat Hari Raya ...

...to everyone who is celebrating Eid al-Fitr and Happy Long Weekend Holiday to the rest!

MyDulang @ Beef Rendang Set - MYR19.90 - shared by two.

There are two other choices for the MyDulang set - chicken rendang or chicken cooked with red sauce (creamy spicy tomato sauce) or better known in the Malay language as "Ayam Masak Merah". For all three sets, there is a choice of "Bandung Cincau" or fresh lemon tea drink. "Bandung" is a rose syrup mixed with milk drink. Cincau is grass jelly, usually made from a herb named "Mesona chinensis", in the mint family (Lamiaceae). An herb (American) vs a herb (British) - an interesting fact.

I chose "Bandung Cincau" since it is Hari Raya and drinking lemon tea just does not fit into the overall festive mood. My spouse ordered a regular cup of hot "teh tarik" - MYR3.80 from the ala carte menu.

Keropok lekur, beef rendang, sotong sambal, long bean with its own sambal, crackers, kangkung in sambal and tomato rice. Taste wise - good enough but not superb.

Actually I am not a fan of both the items above and so I forced myself to drink up and eat up so that both items do not go to waste. Pleased to say I cleaned both up but will not do this again - meaning I will not order anymore food sets that contain food items that I am not a fan of.

If the food items in the set are not enough, one can order the items separately from the special ala carte menu.

  1. Even their normal dinner sets, I cannot handle the dessert. Nowadays if I have to dinner at OldTown, I will just go ala carte.

  2. I'm not really a fan of Old Town. Their Asam Laksa uses Sardine and cold canned pineapple. Quite disappointing for hardcore Laksa fan me :(

    1. Me too. I don't go there unless very hungry and running out of options on where to eat.

  3. This Dulang set is worth the price and shared by 2! Their food may not be the best but I still enjoy their toasted bread kaya and kopi gao which is unique.

  6. That's the problem with set meals. Some items we may not like. But the dulang set looks quite attractive. At least you tried it.
