Aiyo! So busy lah myself! Until like cannot breathe like that. Publish post also, publish after lunch punya kih…kih…kih…
So anyway, last Friday my partner and I ran out ofsuitable places for him for dinner at 1 Utama. On one of our earlier visits, we went for a short walkabout and spotted this restaurant.
So anyway, last Friday my partner and I ran out of
House of Pok. We checked the menu and it seemed interesting. So we made a note to visit on our next date.
When we got there, the place was in full swing. We were not sure how the ordering system worked and we simply picked 5 dishes.
Apparently, you order by sets and each set comes with rice, a side dish and two dishes of your choice. And of course you may choose to order extra dishes if you like. So the server helped to piece our sets out of the 5 dishes we picked.
These were what we ordered :
The side dish consisted of something that looked like crispy beancurd skin and pickled radish.
I did not like the pickled radish because it tasted like it was soaked in orange juice.
Overall, the dishes were all right, not anything outstanding. But I do like the set meal idea where you can mix and match your dishes.
I may have mentioned somewhere that my partner is a rice man and one bowl is not enough for him. So he asked for kar fan (extra rice) and was told that they don’t serve extra rice (!!!).
Well, suffice to say, he was not pleased. I was halfway through with my bowl of rice and gave it to my partner because it was too much for me. I feel that the restaurant ought to have extra rice on the menu, I mean, why not? Just charge the customer for that extra one bowl of rice.
I don’t think we will be rushing back anytime soon but from the good turnout at the restaurant, I think many people enjoy the food.
