Farewell with Zoe at Batik Nyonya Cafe, New World Park

In my previous post, I mentioned we had a farewell lunch at Khuntai for Zoe with my family...
a week before that, we actually went for a farewell dinner with the girls...

we made it at Batik Nyonya Cafe, New World Park...


I quite looked forward to try out this Nyonya Restaurant since it has opened for few months...
I supposed they really spent times and ideas on the deco...

sadly to say that, we were kinda disappointed after the dinner...
we don't think we had set any high expectation on the foods..
just not for our liking perhaps...

Nyonya Cuisine always famous with nutmeg drinks...
once we stepped in the restaurant...
I can smell a strong fragrant of Nutmeg.. and I think it's good...
when I was so looking forward to try their traditional nutmeg drinks...
Carene told me... she felt it's rather weird and not nice during her last attempt...

in fact, it's so thick.. but surprisingly, doesn't have the taste that a nutmeg drinks should have...
slightly bitter instead...
I dunno if this is their special home recipe... just not for my liking... :P

Loh Bak

the look not really convincing... the taste.. erm.. OK

Jiu Hoo Char ( Cuttlefish fried Turnip )


Belacan Fried Chicken


Assam Prawn


Chicken Kapitan


Hainanese Spring Roll

it looks bit different from what I had at other places...
the different pastry they used maybe?

the tastiest dish of the nite~

Sambal Kangkung !!!

Stir Fry Egg and Salumi with Sambal

this was the first time most of us tried this veggie...
not for my liking.. it tasted bitter which I dunno why...
Fanne said those that like this veggie.. caused of the bitter taste... @.@

Ayam Ponteh


Linna kept emphasing...
not to order any fish dish...
as she had a bad experience at here before...
however, we still ordered this Nyonya Curry Fish for mummy...

the curry is not bad... but fish ain't that fresh....

Carene insisted us to try this Nyonya dessert...
no doubt.. it's really nice...

Pungat...
slightly taste similar like Bor Bor Cha Cha... but this added the flavour of Banana...
nice try~ :)
*thumbs up

ladies in stripes...



the girls will never talk-enough..
thus, we headed to esplanade for Rojak and la la...
before their babies and hubbies call to chase home... :P

Khuntai Thai Restaurant for Zoe's farewell

time flies...
Zoe aka maid has flew to NZ for 3 weeks...
before she headed there...
our family had a farewell with her at Khuntai, Raja Uda...
heard people saying bout it for long time,
but we hardly go mainland for any outing... finally... :P
on da way going...
we saw this uncle cycling with the "ling-ling"...

at the instance, we stopped our car at the road side...
like a bunch of children...
ran to the 'square-box' and checking out for the ice-cream flavours... he he

I had the sour-plum ice cream~


stewpig is creative enough to request for one without waffer...
so that won't be too filled up before the lunch...



after some he-and-ha...
we finally found the signboard ---> " Khun Thai "

a lot of bamboo huts been setting up...
the area is big.. can consume alot of customers...
we saw few tourist buses were there too...


je them went first...
our car a bit late as need to pick up ah yee...
thus, not long after we reached there... the foods were served...
Kelabu Mango with Ikan Bilis and Cashew Nuts

Onion Omelette

Steamed Fish with Thai Style

it served with an extra bowl of soup...
tasted spicy and sour...

the soup is really well-flavoured...
each of us can't stop to keep drinking it's soup... I believe that's why they provided an extra big bowl of soup for us...

it's nicest among all the Thai Style steamed fish I've had...

Deep Fried Kang Kung
this is not nice at all...
the batter is no good !
Seafood Otak-otak


Belacan Fried Rice

Pandan Chicken


Stir-Fry Tang Hoon
this is nice...


Tom Yam Kung ( fresh water Prawn )
as my fren told me before...
the tom yam from Khun Thai is not really that tasty...
it's not sour and spicy enough... and yes.. it's true...

the prawn is tiny...

the yummiest... deng deng deng...


ko ko ordered this, Mantis Prawn, Squid, Clam all-in-one cooked in Thai Lemon & Lime Style...
ko ko said.. during his previous visits...
they didn't order the tomyam and steamed fish...
but this Thai Lemon & Lime Style, with crab, prawn, fish, mantis prawn, squid and clam all-in-one...
nicest and best !
and this is really highly recommended !
the soup is really spicy with 3 levels of spicy level... we had only the 1st level...
strong flavour of chopped garlic, lime and chopped chilli...
3 of them.. challenged each other..
with a full bowl of this seafood soup...

when the 'competition' is going on...
the lilttle monster is SS at the other corner...

we ordered more than 15 dishes ( most of the dishes above were coming in 2 portions )
je je expected it must at least cost over rm 600 ++
surprisingly,
it costs only RM 415 including drinks...
14 adults, 3 kiddos..

it's kinda reasonable...
some photo sessions...
