Love Nutrient Cafe Lagenda @ Campbell Street, Georgetown, Penang.

It is non oft you lot detect authentic traditional Malay delicacies inwards cafes... especially inwards Penang. Should you lot detect yourself stranded inwards Georgetown together with yearning for Malay-Indonesian food... brand your means to Cafe Legenda. Opened for less than one-half a year, Cafe Lagenda is housed inside ane of the onetime shops along Campbell Street. It has an interesting carte du jour that features traditional Malay-eats or Western-Fusion dishes alongside a impact of Oriental. The waiting fourth dimension could live on long... every bit the Chef insists on using fresh ingredients thence you lot could actually gustatory modality the powerful punch of those Herbs together with Spices. The identify is uncomplicated but cozily decorated, though nosotros would prefer the air-conditioners to operate better. The atmosphere is mostly quite relaxed, likely due to the large infinite together with high ceiling. Their endeavor inwards making the dishes to a greater extent than presentable is nigh commendable.

Gado-Gado (Rm 16)

Ikan Bakar Rice Set (Rm 20)

Ayam Penyet Rice Set (Rm 22)

Cafe Lagenda's Rice Set is nigh visually-appealing together with picturesque. Every Rice Set is served alongside a wooden boat-shaped Congkak-like box; those are the condiments together with side dishes to larn alongside the primary (such every bit Winged Beans/ Cucumber/ shredded Omelette). Rice is dyed alongside Butterfly-Pea but the existent depict of the dish would live on their home-made Sambal. It possessed a refreshing tangy-acidic tilt... backed yesteryear a flavorful spicy punch. Both Ikan Bakar together with Ayam Penyet were expertly marinated together with carefully grilled to perfection. Gado-Gado on the other hand, was less-impressive. The sauce did non contend to excite us, the Tempeh was non every bit crispy together with crunchy every bit nosotros hoped either. Also, the Fried items were a tad greasy to our liking.... but the portion was large plenty for the five of us to portion though.

Sago Do-Re-Mi (Rm 6)

Banana Bakar (Rm 8)

Desserts were on the house, Banana Bakar was surprisingly simple; it did non accept us also long to figure out the gustatory modality together with it tasted precisely similar what nosotros stimulate got been expecting. The Bananas were caramelized alongside Palm Sugar together with sprinkled alongside desiccated Coconut, jeweled alongside a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. It was overnice but non goodness plenty to wow us. Sago Do Re Mi may live on a lilliputian to a greater extent than unique, 3 differently flavored Sago-cups served alongside Palm Sugar together with Coconut Cream. We enjoyed the texture but non peculiarly overwhelmed yesteryear the taste; the delightful smoky-burnt odor of the Palm Sugar did non smooth together with did non contend to complement the sweetness treat.

Love Nutrient Restro Uwong Palembang @ Elit Avenue, Bayan Baru, Penang.

Step inward this eating theatre together with you lot know you lot are inward an Indonesian restaurant... the unique Indonesian Batik-styled tabular array stuff together with wallpapers say you lot everything. The carte du jour features an array of basic, traditional Indonesian cooking, including Gado Gado together with Lontong but beyond the classic dishes, Restro Uwong Palembang churns out a signature Palembang delicacy.... Pempek, a type of Indonesian savory Fishcake (something similar Keropok Lekor). While Indonesian dishes are rather off-the-beaten track, this house offers authentic Indonesian nutrient manned yesteryear local Indonesians; 1 of the few places that you lot instruct to bask South Sumatra delicacies together with dining inward comfortable atmosphere without putting a dent on the wallet.

Set Single- Pempek (Rm 21.80)

Lontong Sayur dan Lembu (Rm 12)

Gado-Gado (Rm 10.80)

Pinadang Ikan Patin (Rm 5.80)

Avocado Juice (Rm 9.90)

Pempek is definitely the signature dish here. We had the Single Set which comes inward few huge pieces tally for at to the lowest degree ii diners. They were deep fried together with possessed resilient texture, definitely non bouncy but non mushy soft either. One of them contained Egg together with to hold upwards eaten together alongside a thick, sweetness Vinegar-like dip every bit good every bit condiments similar Dried Shrimp (in pulverization form) together with Cucumber. Not addictive but non likewise shabby for a change.

Being a fan of Gado-Gado, nosotros could vouch that the character hither was decent, though the dressing could hold upwards thicker. The greens were appropriate together with the toppings were generous. Both Lontong together with Pinadang were a trivial exotic though; the one-time choice was a concoction of mixed Vegetables (perhaps Banana Shoots every bit well) together with a spoonful of chopped Chilies piece the latter choice featured Indonesian-styled Assam Pedas. Both were unique inward its ain agency but may hold upwards an acquired taste.
