It's been a while since i have last blog about food, it is really troublesome to travel around in Miri if you do not have a car. Raging and craving for a good meal, the day had finally come. Yet, i'm don't hope to put a high expectation on this.
Most of my friend's exam are over and they had been having a good time enjoying their holiday. Sadly, i was not one of them that gets to enjoy fully but it was a great night as i was invited to join along for dinner where i do not need to see Senadin food for just 1 night. Sin nee drove us all for the dinner=)
They had not decided on what to eat until they suggested to go to the restaurant yiing went last time. We were not sure where it was, just try our luck. We missed one of the turning and had to go all the way to a roundabout and make a U-turn (2 roundabout U-turns to be exact).
When you sit down, you could see most of the tables are order the same claypot dish and the board indicating the same thing. The first thing you enter the restaurant, you could smell a strong aromatic curry smell. I was hoping to we would call that, since everyone is calling it, must be something special, and we did.
三味豆腐 (3 taste tofu), is something i could relate to thai style tofu. I guess the meaning of 3 taste is sweet sour salty, i don't taste any spiciness in it. As i mentioned, i had to lower down all expectation, still i have to criticize. The tofu was fried with a tip of crunchiness but there was too much toppings (onions etc) that spoilt the taste.
Butter Chicken. We call for the small portion but i didn't quite expected it to be that small. This was indeed one of butter chicken i tried with a stronger butter taste,i like the taste but there's a lack of sauce for us to enjoy. The chicken was dry which lower down the point given.
I mentioned that there's the strong aromatic curry smell and a claypot dish where most of the table will have it. I read through food blogs of Miri and found out that this place is famous for its signature dish, curry fish head. Whenever people mentioned about curry fish head, it is this place. The curry fish head was a good choice especially when the weather was very cold (strong wind), it urged me to eat it when the dish is served due to the strong smell! It wasn't very spicy with a thick gravy to fill it on your rice. It could have done better without me eating fish scales in every 2-3 bites of my fish! That is what i dislike the most. Overall, i do recommend this curry fish head.
We wanted to call clams but some of our friends didn't like it, may be next time.
The restaurant was not visible from the main road. The only landmark is a restaurant name Lou Wai Lou (楼外楼）is facing the main road. That's the area where New First Choice Cafe Centre is located.
