Having replaced a museum at Dataran Merdeka, Restoran Warisan showcases Malaysia's culinary heritage in a stately setting.
Nasi lemak with beef rendang. Won't exactly linger very long in the memory, but tasty enough to evoke a simple sigh of satisfaction.
Soto ayam, brimming with a fairly flavorsome mix of nasi impit, potato patties, groundnuts, beansprouts & onions in a broth that wasn't as greasy as feared.
Kuey teow kerang. Not terrible, but this needed much more 'wok hei' & cockles to become the char kuey teow of our dreams. At least it wasn't watery though.
Laksa Penang with fish gravy, prawn paste, cucumber, onions, chili & boiled egg. A curious concoction that combined elements of both assam laksa & curry laksa.
Ayam kampung kunyit. Savory, but slightly too stringy.
Rojak buah. Gosh, why did we even order this? Never liked it anywhere, never will.
Pulut tapai, sweetly fermented. A love-it-or-hate-it creation.
Restoran Warisan,
Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur.
U need avocados in d rojak buah lar...surely then u will enjoy it...hahahahaha :P
ReplyDeleteU dont like rojak buah? :(
ReplyDeleteHave you tried our Pg one?
Huck's just introduce his new salad buah...looks appetising indeed :D
ReplyDeleteulric: yikes, it might be a waste of avocados! but yeah, huck always manages to work magic, even with salads :D
ReplyDeletethenomadgourmand: hate rojak buah, heheh. i only vaguely remember the penang rojak buah, but i think it has some sourish fruits that i also dislike =)
I learnt a thing or two from here. :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle: heheh, hopefully something that would be useful someday :D
ReplyDeleteBetcha u haven't try d rojak buah in front of Da Ma Cai in Sri Petaling...just buy their keropok n sapu with rojak gravy...awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteNegative on rojak buah for me too! Practically a criminal admission since I'm from Penang but I like my cut fruit fine on its own, thank you very much! :-P
ReplyDeletebut everything had a "but"...how lah liddat?
ReplyDeleteulric: heh, you're right, i haven't noticed it before. still not quite tempted, but i'll definitely take it under recommendation if i spot it! :D
ReplyDeletemin: on the other hand, i must say i really like the "indian rojak" that's common in my hometown of malacca: potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, crisp cucumber, bean curd, all doused in a lovely sweet-nuty sauce! =)
qwazymonkey: heheh, all the "buts" are a bad sign, i admit. i'm not sure i'll ever return here, unless someone wants to visit dataran merdeka :D
Now this doesn't look like a typical place that you would usually visit... the food doesn't look very impressive, neither was the description :P Plus, except for the nasi lemak, I am not attracted to other dishes. Hehe ..
ReplyDeleteiamthewitch: heheh, yeah, i agree, i wasn't a fan of the food here either. i guess i was more interested to visit this place for its ambiance, which turned out to be OK only :D
ReplyDeletethe place looks interesting...i will check it out for the soto ayam. i does look promising. i wonder if they served the kicap cili like how the Johoreans do it.
ReplyDeleteMissyblurkit: oooh, I didn't realize there were different versions of soto ayam. To be honest, I wasn't even sure whether it's a Malaysian or Indonesian recipe, heheh :D
ReplyDeletewah finally a restaurant in a museum. But the deco not very impressive -leh
ReplyDeleteeiling: heheh, yeah, it's a bit low-budget :D
