Pestle & Mortar, Setia Alam Mall @ Shah Alam

Was celebrating a close friend of mine birthday on 2nd August, recently.
Due to we work in this area and not really too sure what's for the treat... I decided to try out the Nyonya Cuisine in the mall.

Pestle & Mortar

They don't really have much choices of rice though...

Serve - Nasi lemak with Curry Chicken or Chicken Chop and Ayam Pongteh with Rice....

So in the end my friend choose..... Nasi Lemak with Curry Chicken...

Nasi Lemak with Curry Chicken

Surprisingly they gave 2pcs of chicken instead of 1pc (well, that's the standard isn't it?)

I would say the curry taste good, not too much santan and the meat was tender too.
For the rice, it does have a good aroma but when comes to the taste bud.... it's bit "flat".

However, they do have pretty HOT & SPICY sambal, it did blends well with the rice.

I ordered Assam Laksa (oh well, why not give it a try right?)

Assam Laksa

Seriously.... I was surprised of the taste....
It's like the North side (Malay) laksa....
Funny part.... it consist of beancurd skin... REALLY.
I do wonder... how did it get that :p
Taste wise was ok, I mean... it does taste like the Northern side... can't expect much out of it.

Well, I was expecting a different taste of Laksa as in Nyonya style... but was quite disappointed with the one I had....

Seriously, I might need to reconsider whether to patron this place again or not... not much choices either.

Dessert

At the same time I bought a small little cake as princess's birthday cake....

By Boutique Patisserie

 Cost RM 6.90/pc

Can't recall what's the name for this cake but it's filled with chocolate...
Despite it's dessert, this cake does not taste sweet...
But of course, for me it's way too "chocolate"....
Well, for cake lover, this is a good try : )

Happy Birthday Shirly : )
