Guess where I am now? At my good friend, Lingshi's house. Brought Nicole to play with her daughter today and Nicole is taking her afternoon nap *yippee* freedom at last, for a while at least.
So yes I promised to mention about my recent food find at Casa Bom Vento over the weekend. It is a simple coffeshop space that serves Peranakan, Eurasian and Portugese food.
We tried the kacang butol ( wing beans or square beans as some call it mixed with sambal belacan, served raw), telong belajo (grilled brinjal with tomato based sauce), ayam buah keluak, nonya chap chai and fish curry just to name a few.
The kacang butol is nice but lacks the bite from the chilli but I was very happy with the telong belajo. For those who love salted fish, there is a sprinkle of deep fried salted fish bits on top. I was disappointed with the ayam buah keluak though, mainly cos they do not have the buah keluak in the dish. Instead they dug out the flesh and mixed in the soup to yield a thicker broth.
Overall a pleasant experience, food ok but lack the oomph from the spices and chilli and reasonable pricing. Oh yes, try not to sit near the kitchen. It is hot!
