It was first working week of 2017 and my boss decided to organize a New Year team lunch. There were 2 Malay colleagues in our midst and since I was assigned to choose the venue, I chose Merchant's Lane for 2 reasons... it's Halal and I needed to try out more items on the menu.
Let's start with the appetizers. There were 2 items on their menu and we ordered both.
First is called the Pipits Nest. It's consists of brinjal fries, onion rings and chicken tenders.
The other is called Port Klang. It's consists of deep fried calamari, dory and prawns served with sweet chilli sauce.
Both of the above are equally yummy as they're crunchy outside but tender and juicy inside.
Now let's see the mains...
First is the Spagetti Bolognese. For those who wants to play it safe, this is for you. But I personally preferred the Italian Chow Mein I had during my last visit here.
For chicken lovers out there, the Kai Fan 2.0 is the choice for you. It may look simple but the grilled chicken and the pandan rice makes a yummy combination.
For the fish lovers, we have the Kg Sg Tua. It's grilled salmon served with sweet potato mash, butter herbed veggies and masak lemak cili padi sauce. I usually prefer my salmon raw, but this salmon taste great. It's soft, juicy and most important of all, it doesn't taste too fishy. The sweet potato mash and the sauce complimented it well.
And for those who loves spicy food, this is the right choice for you... the Ong Bak Tomyum. It's macaroni served in tomyum broth. The sourish and spicy tomyum broth makes it very appetizing.
Since we came in a big group and able to share our food, we managed to save some space for some dessert. Out of the 2 available choices, we chose Kalau Aku Kaya because it was a new year and we would like to wish for a prosperous year for our team.
It's a fried Brioche styled bread balls served with tangy lemon ice cream and kaya sauce. If you're wondering what are those black earth looking stuff on the plate, my guess would be crushed oreo cookies.
