It’s a lazy hazy late Saturday morning, and I was in the mood for 1Nasi
Lemak. We started 2Gwen up and searched for Nasi Lemak listed in our
GPS navigator’s Places of Interest (POIs). The nearest was located barely a
kilometer away in Kampung Baru. Lo and behold, we found the place (CT Garden)
closed.

The next Nasi Lemak restaurant our GPS navigator suggested
was located along Platinum Walk in Setapak. This time, we were not able to
locate it (Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa) and suspected that it may have closed down.
Interestingly enough, during our search for Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa we chanced
upon a Hayaki Kopitiam branch and decided to have lunch there instead.

Although just like any other Kopitiam on the surface, Hayaki
has an ace up its sleeve as it serves dishes from Cat’s hometown of Kota Bharu.
She promptly ordered the 3Nasi Kerabu 4Ayam Percik;
Brendan surprisingly enough settled on 5Kuey Teow Curry while I
sampled the 6Nasi Lauk Ikan Tongkol.

butterfly-pea flowers) usually eaten with fish crackers, pickles and other
salads

Cat found it difficult trying to finish her generously
portioned dish, but she thought the taste was not comparable to the original Kota Bharu
version. Nasi Kerabu is a dish is meant to be eaten with your hands, and since
Cat used a fork and spoon she thinks the taste may be somewhat distorted.
Brendan thought his dish was pretty average and I thought the flesh of the Ikan
Tongkol was a bit dry. We however unanimously agreed the beverages to be
splendid though.

| RM35.40 again? |
The damage? De Ja freakin’ Vu! Like Pak Li Kopitiam and Kuchai Lama Food Court a couple of weeks back it all came
to the exact total of RM35.40! Is this an omen for us to visit the local 74-Digit outlet?
