Even though claimed by a couple food writers that this place serves authentic Nyonya food but I chose to digress. We have ordered ala carte dishes to go with rice but the portion is way too small and doesn't taste fantastic, let alone authentic. Funny that this place is always packed on weekends, well maybe there isn't much choice in Jusco Metro Prima.<br /><br />Since sometime back, they decided to widen their menu by introducing individual meals like noodles or rice and when we went there recently, they have some additional items added to the menu as well.<br /><br />I went for their Duck Noodles (RM8.80). The soup is of the herbal kind which is similar to the famous duck noodle found at Pun Chun, Bidor but clearer. Hubby was busying helping himself to my soup whilst waiting for his <span style="font-style: italic;">Char Koay Teow</span> (stir fried flat rice noodles).<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/babeinthecitykl/2344376535/" title="RD - herbal duck soup noodle RM8.80 by babe_kl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3269/2344376535_6188c1c1c1_o.jpg" alt="RD - herbal duck soup noodle RM8.80" height="375" width="500" /></a></div><br />This was hubby's <span style="font-style: italic;">Char Koay Teow</span> (RM6.80) which I tried a bite. Great to note it has enough "<span style="font-style: italic;">wok hei</span>", a must for <span style="font-style: italic;">Char Koay Teow</span>. Tastewise, it was surprising a good one.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/babeinthecitykl/2345205580/" title="RD - char koay teow RM6.80 by babe_kl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3092/2345205580_a499db2be0_o.jpg" alt="RD - char koay teow RM6.80" height="375" width="500" /></a></div><br />Dad ordered Hainanese Chicken Chop (RM8.80), errr in a nyonya restaurant??? <span style="font-style: italic;">Aiyoh </span>hahaha but he said it's a new item and he wanted to try it. When it came, it looked not too bad. I didn't taste it so no comment but he said it was ok.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/babeinthecitykl/2345205448/" title="RD - Hainanese chicken chop RM8.80 by babe_kl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2181/2345205448_ff6de1ce32_o.jpg" alt="RD - Hainanese chicken chop RM8.80" height="375" width="500" /></a></div><br />My mom had their Melaka Chicken Rice (RM7.80) which came with 3 elongated rice balls served with soy sauce chicken. I ate this before and it was nice. The soy sauce chicken tasted like my mom's style. I like the chili sauce (sorry no photo cos her food came late and I didn't want to delay her from digging in).<br /><br />We have a plate of fruit rojak (RM6.00) which is all right too but our only complain was the fruits were not cut in consistent sizes. Some of them came thinly sliced but some came in huge chunks! Just purely fruits and no crisps nor <span style="font-style: italic;">yau char kwai</span> (deep fried crullers).<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/babeinthecitykl/2344376495/" title="RD - rojak RM6.00 by babe_kl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3076/2344376495_f2a88f4953_o.jpg" alt="RD - rojak RM6.00" height="375" width="500" /></a></div><br />Mom and hubby each ordered cendol (RM2.80) which I think has improved tremendously but the portion is still kinda small. At least this time the cendol strips didn't came frozen.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/babeinthecitykl/2344376659/" title="RD - cendol RM2.80 by babe_kl, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2172/2344376659_638d0e7d22_o.jpg" alt="RD - cendol RM2.80" height="375" width="500" /></a></div><br /><br />Note: Not sure if it's halal or it's just pork free. Price stated above is excluding the 5% Government tax and 10% service charge.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Red Door Cafe & Restaurant</span><br />F27 First Floor<br />Jusco Metro Prima<br />Jalan Kepong<br />Tel: 603-6252 6186<br /><br /><br />Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/malaysian+food" rel="tag"><img style="border: 0pt none ; vertical-align: middle; margin-left: 0.4em;" src="http://static.technorati.com/static/img/pub/icon-utag-16x13.png?tag=malaysian+food" alt=" " />malaysian food</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7707686-2074318589337789913?l=babeinthecitykl.blogspot.com'/></div>babe_klhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15762752894942951956noreply@blogger.com13
