I ordered black rice with cashew nut curry at MYR16.80+ (5% service charge so the nett price is MYR17.65). The black rice tastes like black glutinous rice. I kept half the rice and curry for dinner. I also ordered a cold drink - Beta Beet Lemon at MYR5.90+ (MYR6.20 nett). The drink is slightly sweet and refreshing.
A closer look at the curry dish. There are no cashew nuts in this curry so I suspect the cashew nuts were used to make the curry gravy as it was thick and creamy. There are lots of brinjals and long beans in this curry which I like. I did not expect there to be three large pieces of chicken meat so I just ate one piece and took the other two pieces home for my spouse to eat.
Total price for 2 pax is MYR45.55 nett which is a good price for so much food and drinks. I wouldn't mind eating at this place again.

First time I saw black colour rice
ReplyDeleteyou can buy the raw black rice from supermarkets and grocery stores like your normal rice.
DeleteLike black glutinous rice. I'd love it then! Pulut hitam dessert is one of my favourites. Curry looks really good.
ReplyDeletebuy the black rice and cook it yourself.
DeleteThe black rice inspired by nasi kunyit perhaps?
ReplyDeleteYour friend's meal looks like BKT.
nasi kunyit is normal white rice cooked with turmeric but this black rice is black naturally. yes it does look like BKT.
DeleteNasi kunyit is made from glutinous rice...
Deleteah thanks for the correction though I have eaten nasi kunyit made from basmati rice. My point is the yellow colour of nasi kunyit is from turmeric but the black colour of this black rice is natural from the black rice itself and not from another source like squid ink.
DeleteEating healthy. Black rice?? I ate brown rice but not black rice before.
ReplyDeletetry black rice next time?
DeleteIn Thailand they do eat white, black and other coloured glutinous rice daily esp the Northern areas near Golden Triangle and Yunnan where they live in mountainous highlands and rarely cook daily besides having no refrigerators. So their cooked glutinous rice could safely last for many-many days! This food has made its way to our tables today. Interesting!
ReplyDeletethanks for the info! you eat black rice regularly too?
Deleteboth the curry and the vegetarian herbal soup looks good. I like them coz got lotsa 'lieu'...
ReplyDeleteyes I was surprised to see the amount of 'lieu'.
DeleteA very large portion indeed... just go back home and add a fried egg! :)
ReplyDeleteyes, no need to add also can make a full dinner.
DeleteThe black rice looks interesting. The other portion of the curry with so much ingredients will be enough for dinner even for 2 people.
ReplyDeleteyes the portion is big.
