The dining area really did looked more like the front of someone's house where the mom would be cooking in the kitchen and the dishes are then served immediately; piping hot to the dining table. It felt like eating at someone's home, I mean. The dishes came that way too, no frills, just home cooked.
The fried fish - which I did try (don't really like fish). Wasn't fishy and the sauce was nice, maybe it was the onions that gave it a slightly different taste.
Here you have rather large chopped chicken pieces with bones and all, marinated and deep fried. It was really tasty, not a winner in the looks department but surprisingly thumbs up for taste. Hey, beauty's only chicken skin deep. Ha ha ha...Deceived by its looks indeed!
One of their specialties - Jumbo prawns with toong fun (glass noodles). Served soaked in santan (coconut milk) and a bit of curry spices. A treat for the senses : taste and sight. Cheow Yang Restaurant in Petaling Jaya also has this tasty dish (but I'm sure at double or triple the price!) .The area was dim and the children were hungry, so I didn't really have time to compose my shots and a couple of pics of other dishes didn't turn out good. I couldn't and wouldn't want to make the family wait for me though they made sure I did get my shots. I must say that the family was most kind and encouraged me to take photos each and every time we ate. You see, they are proud of being from Kota Bahru and proud of their culture (and yes, the food too)! They told me they would be glad to see me do the postings on Kota Bahru. They even tried to help me out by arranging the food and assisting me in anyway they can. Really nice family, I thank them for their top notch hospitality!
To be continued...

ReplyDeleteYup, KB is definitely food lover heaven. Did they take you to eat the oysters with porridge that is like rice grains and soup? I had that once in KB - very delish. Sigh! Now I want to visit the place to get my tummy worth of nasi dagang, kerabu, satay and kuihs.

ReplyDeleteWMW, thanks for dropping by my place! It's only polite that I reciprocate. Wah ... all those pictures on food, food and more food! I can see that you're really enjoying your photography hobby as well as the food! I enjoy discovering and eating at various places too but unfortunately, my husband is not so adventurous as me. You know, your post on the Kam Fatt noodles @ Tengkat Tong Shin well, that was my favourite haunt for breakfast and lunch at one time. The "chee chap choke" is simply deee...liii...cious and so is the curry laksa hmmmmmmmuah! I must get to know you better so that I can go galavanting with you for food galore! hehehehe
