ah Tuan ee's

We were looking to experience something new this time, so while we're in Pacific Place we visited ah Tuan ee's Restaurant which is originated from Malaysia.. The food selection on the menu is heavily influenced by Chinese Malaysia style (Malaysian Nyonya foods)..


When you step into the restaurant, you will feel as if you are stepping back into time.. The restaurant is decorated in Malay's house style with antique items, wooden tables & chairs, and hanging birdcage lamp.. What a lovely sight..


For the drink..


Soya Bean with Grass Jelly (14K), sweetened soy bean milk drink with strands of grass jelly inside..


We started up with Roti Canai (20K), slightly crispy roti canai served with tasty chicken curry..

Mie Siam (32K), stir fried vermicelli with seafood, tofu and veggies in spicy, sweet, sour sauce.. It was nice, the seafood were fresh with some huge juicy prawns..

Next, Golden Tofu Spicy (52K), deep fried silken tofu topped with spicy minced chicken, mushroom, and sprinkled with small fried anchovies.. The tofu was crispy outside and very soft inside, really a nice texture.. Tasty and appetising..

I love the taste of the food here.. A nyonya meal usually covers the taste from hot, sour to sweet.. It's really full of taste..

Tesate

We have passed this restaurant quite often when we hang out in Plaza Senayan, but we haven't tried it yet.. So last Saturday we decided to give it a try.. Tesate serves an authentic Indonesian cuisine in modern style..


Such an interesting menu book, they wrapped up a satay fan in the back of it..


The interior is really pleasant.. Modern & pretty chic dining area..


You can see the satay being grilled behind the wall..


Hot Lime Lemon Grass Tea (26K)


We ordered their signature dish, Sate Ayam Madura (49K), 6 pcs grilled chicken satays in sweet peanut sauce.. Nice appearance, they served it on hot stone plate..


Look closer.. Just blends it so well, so you can taste how tasty the sauce was, and it's really goes well with the tender chicken meat..


Mie Godog Jawa (44K), Javanese soup noodle with egg, shredded chicken, veggies, and crackers..



Mixing it up a bit, so you look what's inside.. It's a mixed noodle and vermicelli.. The soup was flavourish and full of spice..


This dish also came up with Indonesian salad like 'asinan'..


Tahu Telur (44K), Indonesian beancurd omelette.. It's tasty and crispy dish with sweet shrimp paste sauce..

In general the food here was decent..
