The complimentary drink is a cup of barley drink. If one orders from the ala carte menu, one could get this same cup of barley drink by adding MYR 1 nett.
Lontong Set it is for me at MYR 13 nett. I requested for no sugar for my barley drink with ice. The gravy broth for this lontong is very creamy with coconut milk, rich with galangal taste and less salty than the one at AMAH. It has long beans, carrots, cabbages, jicamas and a half hard boiled egg with 8 compressed rice cubes. I returned the saucer of sambal immediately when it was served because it would be too flavourful and spicy for me if I eat the sambal as well.
Tasty rice cubes, 2 cubes are still hidden in the gravy broth. The broth does not taste spicy but after 1 hour of eating this dish, I can feel my stomach burning so I guess it is spicy after all.
MYR 13 nett.
Ole Melaka at DC Mall.
This was supposed to be my reason for visiting DC Mall.
Tempting cakes.
I was supposed to eat The Huckleberry Burnt Cheesecake (a slice for MYR 18) at Birch to see whether it is as good as the cheesecake at The Tokyo Restaurant at Lot 10 but I did not feel like eating cheese cake due to having eaten 3/8 of a red bean salted egg yolk mooncake from Ming Yue bakery from Ipoh so perhaps one day I will be back to try the cheese cake. Update: I did go back for this cheese cake during the weekend on a Sunday.
I find food at AMAH salty too hence I dined there once only. I've always wanted to give them a second chance but recently a friend told me that it is as salty so I just skipped.
ReplyDeleteThe AMAH fried chicken is not salty at all. I guess people eat the fried chicken together with the sambal so it tastes salty due to the fried chicken.
Deletedue to the sambal I mean.
DeleteI just had lontong recently too, same as you, i will eat the lontong without the sambal as it would be too spicy for me, that day after eating the lontong, my stomach a lot of winds, because of the lontong gravy
ReplyDeletemust be the coconut milk in the gravy.
Deletewonder how the lontong you ate look like.
DeleteI would pick the lontong too.
