Poppo Kanteen 3
We did not get to try the mutton curry and beef rendang during our visit 1 and visit 2 so we went there again just for these two dishes. The price of nasi lemak with mutton curry or beef rendang is more than then price of the items (in the a la carte menu) when ordered separately so we went with the more affordable option.
Mutton curry - MYR9.90 nett. This is the usual sized rice bowl and I am surprised to find about 4 big chunks of mutton in it with two wedges of potatoes. The meat can be considered tender but it is sticking to a piece of membrane which is quite tough to chew (the membrane). I don't think I dare to order this dish again because the mutton is too much for both of us to handle.
Beef rendang - MYR6.90 nett. The slices of beef is not as tender as the mutton but still manageable. The taste is unlike the taste of beef rendang that we are used to. We detect a strong ginger taste in this dish which is not present in the beef rendang that we have eaten before at other eateries.
Deep fried egg - MYR1.50 nett with very crispy edges but with a runny yolk.
Plain white rice with a piece of chip (keropok) - MYR1.80 nett and we ordered two plates of this since we had a lot of curry and rendang sauces to finish.
Deep fried shallots on top of the rice. The height of the rice block is the same as that of a usual table spoon which means there is a lot of rice. We should have just ordered one plate of rice and either mutton or beef to share because we had difficulty finishing all the food.
White coffee (cold) - MYR4.90 nett. I think cane sugar is used to prepare this giving it a richer taste.
Photo to show that the bowl used for the mutton curry is a small usual sized rice bowl.

I love mutton curry anytime, it is interesting that the rice comes in blocks
ReplyDeleteYa haven't seen rice in block shapes too.
DeleteThe mutton curry here looks good, the curry looks very rich
ReplyDeleteRich indeed.
DeleteI see the name, I like already. Ooooo...the curry and the rendang look really really good! I love how they use the banana leaf and the enamel plate, real old school...very very nice and they fried the egg just the way I would do it myself.
ReplyDeleteSri Petaling, eh? Dunno how to get there. Went once when my friend took me there for dim sum one Chinese New Year when I was stranded in KL, flights back all full.

Wah you fried eggs like that need a lot of hot oil, right?
DeleteI want the mutton curry.
ReplyDeleteOh. A square block of rice. Interesting shape. Not often we see the rice served that way.
Fun for the kitchen to serve rice in block shapes.
DeleteI see got mutton curry, I know sure expensive already.. When I eat nasi kandar, the minute I take mutton curry & a piece of fried chicken, RM10 already..
ReplyDeleteThat's why this seems like a good deal.
DeleteI don't fancy mutton so I'll just settle with the beef and the egg, or actually I prefer ayam goreng berempah the most, hehe.. the keropok looks like those bitter crackers, can't recall its name suddenly..
ReplyDeleteWah I am impressed you recognize the keropok. Don't eat mutton can save cos mutton is more expensive than chicken meat.
DeleteThat chip you had is usually served as a starter snack in Indonesian restaurants. We call them emping melinjo (like what I had at Enak KL). It has a slight bitter taste but I love it eaten with fresh sambal :)
ReplyDeleteI have eaten emping at dancing fish restaurant.
DeleteHave you exhausted the Menu in Poppo yet? Just wondering what else they serve. I have yet to visit.
ReplyDeleteNot even 10% tried. You can go look through the menu. Many items in there.
DeleteI will sure order the mutton curry!
ReplyDeleteNo problem for you the amount of mutton!
DeleteI'm never a fan of mutton but I love beef rendang. Not easy to find a good one here tho cause I like my meat to fall apart easily :D
ReplyDeleteTrue not easy to find one that suits our taste bud.
DeleteHere cannot find rendang :( .. but got lamb doner lah... I think that's what I will go for tonight... :P
ReplyDeleteLamb doner should be very tasty! That is if you like their spices.
Deletedespite being opened for quite some time now, I still haven't try out this place. It was crowded each time I passed by...My sis went there yesterday and recommend me the nasi lemak with rendang chicken. I'm gonna try it soon.
ReplyDeleteWe usually go on Sunday at about 3pm and it was also quite full then.
DeleteI seldom take mutton curry.. only in mamak stalls... they cook real nice mutton curry.. I like the rectangular rice shape... I think I could only finish half of that.. :)
ReplyDeleteYou will need more rice to finish the mutton curry gravy.
DeleteI don't eat mutton or beef, but curry is always my favorite!
ReplyDeleteChicken or vegetarian curry for you then! :)
Deletenever tried deep fried egg! have to try it out at home!
ReplyDeleteDo post about it after you have tried it, ok?
DeleteAt least they filled the curry up to the brim of the little bowl!
ReplyDeleteOverflow too! ;)
DeleteThey are very generous with the curry, overflowing dy. What a unique way to serve rice in a compact block like that. It is a very hearty meal indeed. I'll go for the lamb to share as my hubby doesn't take beef.
ReplyDeleteGood to share the lamb cos is too much for one person.
DeleteThis curry is so delicious looking. I like their rectangle rice servings! It builds my appetite.
ReplyDeleteYou can order two plates of the rectangle rice blocks! :)
