Satay House, Jalan Rubber

I'm inclined to think that there's something about traffic jams that makes us think of nothing else but food.  On the 3rd day of Raya, my friends and I were on our way to Pasir Pandak for a sunset shooting when we sensed a massive traffic jam ahead of us as traffic crawled to a snail's pace.  Not wanting to be stuck in the jam, we made a detour. And guess what we decided to do after our failed Pasir Pandak mission?  Have dinner at Satay House at Jalan Rubber!  

At first glance, this restaurant did not quite create an impression and it looked rather deserted.  Upon entering, we noticed that only one of the tables was occupied.  Only much later that people started pouring in.  

The dishes here are reasonably priced.  We believe that must be the reason this restaurant enjoys such good patronage.

We ordered the set meal, and the restaurant's signature dish, the pork satay.  The set meal consists of 5 dishes enough for 5-7 people.  All that for less than RM60.

Kailan with Salted Fish

The kailan dish was simple and wholesome.  The kailan was fresh and crunchy.  The salted fish provided a subtle rather than overwhelming flavour.

Kung Po Chicken

This dish which is a classic dish in Sichuan cuisine did not only look tempting, but tasted superb.  We were expecting a fiery, numbing and flavourful dish actually.  It turned out to be a tad sweet but flavourful nonetheless.  I like.

Tofu

A simple dish, this was satisfying.  The tofu was lightly fried.  The chunks of chicken breast, sliced button mushrooms and mixed vegetables added character to the flavourful sauce which was poured over the fried tofu.

Curry Fish

Rich in taste but not spicy enough for me who likes hot and spicy food.  And they were mighty generous with the Lady's Fingers aka Okra which looked a little undercooked but the texture was just right, I must say.

Stew Pork Leg

I'm not a proponent of anything fatty.  Lucky for me, there was some lean meat that I got to savour.

Pork Satay

Not the best but not bad!

Overall, we had a truly satisfying meal.  BurrRpp... (Pardonne moi)
