We started off lunch with a Bacon Pizza, which was a crispy thin pizza with the usual tomato sauce, mozarella cheese, onions, vine ripened tomatoes and two ingredients which was the deal maker for the pizza. Of course, anything with bacon would taste great but what is even more unique was the Malaysian touch added to the pizza, with the usage of tiny spicy green cili padi. I like how the pizza was thin, yet crunchy (best eaten while hot) and the tiny burst of spiciness with every bite of chili padi. The pizza itself isn't spicy, only if the slices with cili padi then it'll be spicy.

Tom Yam Kung | RM27 for small and RM42 for large

Nothing fancy, nothing to shout about. It has the tom yum taste but again without the kick. The tom yum is more to the milky but not too heavy on the taste. It wasn't too spicy so it was still okay. There was quite a variety of seafood in the soup, which I would say compensated for the lack of oomph I was expecting for.

Seafood ‘otak-otak’ | This is not from the menu, so might have to request from the waitress.

I have always loved otak-otak, these are often always offered in places like PappaRich and Old Town which I would sometimes order even though it wasn't particularly great. I really loved eating otak-otak and the best one I have tasted is from Johor, but I may not need to travel all the way down just for otak-otak. I was taken by surprise by this dish, mostly because it was a combination of some of favourite food - the otak-otak and seafood, glorious seafood. They had huge juicy prawns and white squid together with otak-otak. Yummy goodness in a foil! Unfortunately, as huge as the serving looks like in the picture, it is actually much lesser in fact. The inside of the boil is raised, much like an upside down bowl. I almost felt cheated by that.

Steamed Talapia Fish (Krathong) Style, “Plar Krathong” | Prices are seasonal.

This was possible one of the messiest presentation of steamed fish that I have ever came across, which often brings me to say that I would always prefer to shoot photogenic food that are worthy of the #foodporn hashtags. (Btw, on Instagram I would usually post up yummy food pictures there before it goes on the blog, so be sure to follow me at @itscarmenhong.)

As cliche as the term, don't judge a book by its cover, the steamed fish was actually a nice surprise because one, it was super duper fresh. Chances are the fish was still swimming in the pond, an hour before it was served. Vegetarians and animal activists can gasp now. *gasp* Other than that, it had a zesty unique spicy flavour which complemented the fish. The fish didn't have the earthy type of smell to it, mainly because of the way it is cooked and bred.

Pandan Chicken | Didn’t take down the price of this. Opps.

This dish arrived after the fried rice, with a more promising presentation than the former. I have always personally loved Pandan fried chicken, especially when my mom makes them at home. But she rarely does because of how tedious it was to make them, she'll end up asking me to wrap them for her. The meat used was breast chicken meat and in terms of the taste, again, it wasn't remarkable. It had hints of pandan but somehow if you're expecting a kick or a burst of flavour, this will disappoint.
