On Tuesday night after badminton, we were going to get curry mee at the Dhoby Ghaut Cafe (which I have already posted about before), but it was unusually closed (usually it's closed on Mondays). And by the way it has changed its name to Uncle Ho's Recipe Cafe or something like that... but I might have gotten the Uncle's name wrong :P
We then went to the Sri Nibong Cafe opposite it. The place is famous for its koay teow thng in the morning and at lunchtime, and recently (not so recent, more than a year ago, I think) it has started to sell its koay teow thng at night too. But when we got there, one of us suggested ordering the chu char instead.
While contemplating what to order, we looked around at other tables and saw that almost all of them had a plate of yellow thing.
J said it was steamed egg, but upon closer look, XY said that it was ice on top, so it couldn't be steamed egg. So when ordering the dishes, we asked what it was. They told us it was pudding that comes free with our meal. Turns out that they would serve it when we were halfway through eating, and the ice would keep the pudding cold. The photo above was taken when we were about to eat our pudding, so the ice was already half-melted. (By the way, J sweet-talked the person who brought us our pudding into giving us a second one :P Before that, the table next to us had received two... we saw the person bringing the second plate and saying, "Eh, you already have one?", and giving them the second plate too.)
As for the main dishes, this is what we ordered:
Curry fish (RM15), signature tofu (RM10), and veggies (RM7).
The curry was really good, and not too spicy either, so we practically wiped the bowl clean. XY was eating the curry as a pre-dessert...
The tofu was good too, it had some "special" taste in it. I can't make out what it is though, their secret ingredient I guess.
As for the veggies, not bad, but nothing special. Just as expected.
