little penang kafe @ the Curve...

Last night I was at the Curve with Sunshine for dinner. We didn't fancy anything special so decided to try out a place we keep passing by. Its called Little Penang Kafe and they always seem full of people. I googled it before and read some reasonable reviews of this place so we decided why not. Unfortunately it was a big let down. :(

Sunshine had the fried kway teow while I had the chicken nasi lemak. On top of that we shared a bowl of Red Ruby which is a Thai dessert made of diced water chestnut morsels, sweet coconut milk and shaved ice. When the food first came it looked appetising and smelled good but it all went down south once we dug in.

The kway teow reminds me of what we can get for breakfast at malay stalls. You know the ones sold out of a big tray. Only difference being those were only RM1 to RM2 while this cost RM9! The chicken nasi lemak started out okay. The rice was aromatic and tasty while the dash of belacan was yummy. Unfortunately the ghost chicken curry was awful. I can't describe the taste but its really bad. Maybe its something out of Penang and just doesn't suit our taste buds.

All was not lost however as the dessert (Red Ruby) was good. The sweet coconut milk and shaven ice was just about right. Not to mention the yummy morsels of water chestnut and slices of jackfruit. *drool* Red Ruby was always my favourite Thai dessert. Use to have yummy ones at Sri Siam in SS2.
