As the pig stomach pepper soup can be quite heaty to the body, I decided to order a glass of herbal tea, or pak chee chou as the waitress calls it, in lieu of my carbonated Coca-Cola. The herbal tea was so-so, slightly diluted and doesn’t have much ice. I guess if there were more ice added, the herbal tea would have no taste at all. Priced at RM1.30 per glass, it was a decent amount to pay.

Beef koay teow, or beef hor fun as stated in the menu, was acceptable, though not top notch. It was slightly different than the Chinese version, where the gravy has eggs in it. The dish came piping hot, which was good. The koay teow was lightly seared, hence it was light brown in colour. The gravy has a heavy oyster sauce taste, which was fine, just that it doesn't taste as good without eggs. The slices of beef weren't that many, probably about four to five pieces only. There were lots of vegetables though. Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, snow peas, baby corn and even black fungus. Overall just so-so.

The chocolate cake in Serai looked pretty promising. The dark brown colour seemed to indicate that it is made from bitter chocolate. I thought that the cake was a bit dry. The chocolate topping was also a bit hard. It was sweet, but not overly so. Quite ordinary, nothing to shout about. Definitely need a cup of tea to wash this down. Priced at RM14.80, it was a decent amount to pay.

One of my colleagues ordered the pan mee soup, pinched version. I thought some parts of the pinched noodle was undercooked, hence we were chewing on half-cooked dough. The soup was quite bland, and there were not much ingredients. There were bits of potato leaves, two pieces of fried foo chook, some minced meat, sliced mushrooms and fried anchovies. Priced at RM5 a bowl, it was a decent price to pay.

Dad ordered the fish head rice noodle with shark bone. He enjoyed it very much, as the taste of the soup was fragrant and flavourful. The rice noodle, or mee hoon was also done well, not too soft. There were plenty of fish meat in the fish head, but I thought the taste was a bit too fishy for me. Priced at RM20.80, it wasn't cheap, but dad said that it was value for money.
