Lontong Gantino is the must have breakfast for us when we are in Dumai. Our trip would not be complete if we missed it. You could never get any lontong any better than this one. For those who are wondering what lontong is, it is actually rice cube or nasi himpit la orang sini panggil.

That’s the entrance of the restaurant. Nothing much on the outside but what’s inside is something that we would be craving for once we are back to Malaysia… Meleleh jugak la air liur bila teringat…

It comes in two versions. The first one as shown above is called lontong sayur. You can see the rice cubes in thick, yummy gulai nangka (gravy made with jack fruit as the main ingredient). This is Diah’s and my favourite version. I love to add some keropok jangek, the bubbly stuffs that you can see at the top of the dish, into mine.

And here is the lontong pecal version. Still have the gulai nangka but topped with bumbu pecal (peanut sauce) along with some noodles and little red crackers.
By the way, Diah normally helps herself to two serving of the longtong. Muat pulak tuh perut dia….

Yup! I found it! Well,actually the woman who mend a drink stall at the UOA food court found it. Alhamdulillah!

The picture above is specially for Lollies who was wondering how in the world that a car can be started and stopped without using the key. You just need to remove the metal piece where you normally slot in your key and the white thingy is what was left after the piece was removed. So dah kira bogel la tu… Then you just need something, such as a screw driver to put on the black circle so that it can be turned. Turn clockwise to start and the other way to stop. Senang je kan?
Anyway, back to the missing key. The next day, before going to get the key set replaced, we (this time the whole family joined the search) had decided to make another visit to the food court at UOA as it was already closed the night before. Tak puas hati punya kes la ni. I went straight to the last place that I stopped on that fateful evening.
“Ada orang tinggal kunci kereta tak?“ I asked a woman there.
“Adaa…” and she gave me the key!
“Thank you very very very much!”
Lega gila rasa masa tuh. Since I got back the key and there was no need to get a new key set, we drove over to Ah Heng’s workshop. Ah Heng was the guy who macgyver-ed the ignition system. Since he dismantled it, it was best that he put it back together.
In short, after a brunch at Q-Bistro, the car was up and ready…
Last but not least, thanks to Inar and hubby for helping us in getting the car temporarily fixed while we looked for the key. You guys truly rock!
Jangan lupa check your spare key ha!

kereta pasha, slot kunci
26th October 2008.
On the way returning the kiddie car rented for Pasha after finishing our grocery shopping at Jusco Sunway Pyramid, we passed by Tarbush Restaurant. Since it was already time for dinner and Mama Pasha has never been to Tarbush before, we decided to have our dinner there.
I have never been to this Sunway Pyramid branch but I have been to the branch in Bukit Bintang a few times before and I do like the kind of food they serve there. The Lebanese kind.

Pasha as usual could not sit still while waiting for the food that we ordered to come. If you look carefully at the first 3 photos above, there are two Shisha bottles at the background. Pasha managed to bring down the one on the right…

There was a small fountain right after the entrance and Pasha loved it as he is fond of anything that has some water in it. There were a number of pretty little fish inside the little pool below the fountain.

Our drinks arrived before the food. Mama Pasha ordered a glass of Honeydew Juice and Pasha drank half of it and I ordered the Arabic Tea. I love the warm minty tea and it’s served in that cute little kettle as shown above.

Finally our food arrived. We only ordered one main dish for Mama Pasha as based on experience the serving is quite big and enough for two people to enjoy.
Mama Pasha chose the Shish Tawook, juicy boneless chicken breast marinated and grilled, served with Tarbush Garlic Sauce (see the middle photo above. It was taken a bit too late as we were hungry and forgot to take a photo before we ate).
I just ordered and appetizer called Sambosa (I ordered the chicken filling as Mama Pasha does not eat lamb), which was not quite an appetizer as those deep-fried spring rolls may be enjoyed as a side dish or for snacks. (see the second photo).
The dishes came with a plate of pickled stuffs such as olives, celery and zucchinis and a few slices of fresh tomatoes and lemon. There was also a few slices of pita bread but we did not take a photo of that but you see the second last photo where i stuffed my pita bread with some pieces of Shish Tawook and some pickled stuffs.
All in all, it was a great and that did not cost that much for a filling dinner!
