On the fine breezy lazy Sunday, I had a rather different lunch. Thanks to CK Lam and Big Boys Oven, I had a special lunch!

P/S: there were like 10 of us there for the food tasting.

the wok

Destination: The Wok Cafe @ The Strand Kota Damansara.

interior design

I was charmed by the homely deco. How not to enjoy lunch in places like this? Thumbs up for the ambiance.

prawn mee

First dish served was the the must-have Penang food: Prawn Mee Soup @ RM7.

Love the soup!
char kuay teow

Char Kuay Teow @ RM8.

Ahhhh can you see the big fresh prawns? Yum! I love CKT, wish they could add some cockles though. I would definitely go back for this the next time.

lobak

The Lor Bak @ RM8.

It is actually crispy pork roll marinated with the 5-spice-powder. My mom always makes this for chinese new year :D it is like once-a-year thing for me.

hokkien char

And and… Hokkien Char @ RM8.

I always love Hokkien noodles!  But I think this is abit different from the usual one I have, this has more gravy.

asam laksa

Hmmm I think this is Curry Mee @ RM7. I don’t really like this as I prefer the piping hot and spicy one! And I am not so good with coconut milk in my food. ( I always have stomach upset after eating coconut milk)

inche kabin

Fried chicken! It is actually called Inche Kabin. The chicken is marinated with lemon grass, tumeric and local spices. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.

Btw, for poultry, the dishes come in 3 sizes. > S (RM14) M (RM20) and L (RM26).

signboard

The doorway to the kitchen. Very classic right?

duck soup

This is Kiam chay duck soup. I always love soup with tomato and salted vege. Very appetizing.

The soup also comes in 3 sizes. > S (RM9) M (RM14) and L (RM19).

perut ikan

This is something new to me:  Perut Ikan. It tastes exactly the same as asam laksa without noodles, I can’t really taste the fish stomach though. Price starting from RM9.

prawns

Pan fried asam prawns. I don’t know about the price though. If you are a prawn-shell-hater, this is for easy peasy for you. The shell has been peeled, so it is absolutely trouble-free, and it is delicious! Ahhh I am missing the prawns now!

chee cheong fun

We also had chee cheong fun. I am not a big fan of this dish, so, it didn’t strike me as much as other dishes.

wok10

This is something special, called the Hong Bak. It is actually 3-layer-pork if you see carefully. I can’t tell what’s in the gravy, but the gravy goes really well with rice! And the fat layer doesn’t feel fatty at all!!!

Price starting from RM14.

joo hu char

What’s a wholesome meal without vegetables right?

Introucing Jiu Hoo Char. It is actually turnips fried with carrots, cabbage, mushroom and dried cuttlefish. You should eat the dish wrapped with the lettuce and sambal. I love this dish! It is usually one of the ingredients for popiah too.

And finally, the long awaited dessert.

cendol

Cendol @ RM3.50. Very refreshing after some very taste-rich meal.

ice kacang

Penang Ice Kacang @ RM5.50. Love the ice cream on top! And quite some ‘atapchi’ found in the dessert.

sago nangka

My most-favorite among all: Sago nangka @ RM3.50.

It is very very refreshing, and filled with the nangka aroma. If you are a nangka lover, you MUST order this.

After a really satisfying lunch, I am tempted to go back again.
