Last night H surprised me when he took Hannah and me to this café cum bistro somewhere in Shah Alam. It’s a bit pricey but the food is good and comes in large portion. The ambiance promotes relaxation and peace which I welcome after a long hot tiring day. I was telling H how the lamb looks good. H said that they are known for that dish and he said the place was featured a couple of times in a number of newspapers. It serves western food and local delights and what makes it unique is that it injected a few traditional home dishes such as lempeng kelapa. We, Penangites call it roti nyok. It brought me back to the two-bedroom quarters in Glugor where every Sunday dad will make “roti nyok” and we will eat it with mom’s (the night before) “sambal tumis”. Hmm…yummy! M salivating as we speak! We ordered that as an appetizer and I had Spaghetti carbonara as my main course. And it comes with bacon shreds! Yummy! Chicken of course!
I noticed one thing unique about the place was that it was decorated with paintings of women with well-endowed physiques. Similar to those of Botero, Rubens and Matulavics. The subject theme was similar but those found in the bistro, the subjects were more decently clad and it was with an Asian influence. It’s unique! That alone has made my night interesting because it stands out from the rest of the places that I’ve been to eat. Furthermore it’s in Shah Alam, another unique characteristic. I told H about it and he said they talked about the paintings as well in the featured article and yes he said the theme of the paintings is large women. It seems that the owner is a fan of the artist. I was googling in the net in search of the artist but to no avail. I found Botero, Rubens and Matulavics. But I think those at the Bistro are from a local artist because if I’m not mistaken, in one of the paintings, the subject was clad in a kebaya. Fascinating eh?!. This is the spices in my life- appreciating the art of discovery!anad in this case the discovery is art;) Ok..i’m going to enjoy the rest of my weekend. I hope you do too. Have a great weekend everyone.
