Suddenly we felt the craving for nasi padang and the first place that came to mind was the Sari Ratu restaurant in Kelana Jaya. Right after Pasha woke up from his afternoon nap, the three of us headed over to the restaurant. It was almost empty when we got there as it was already past 2pm. That’s good!

Below are the food and drink that Mama Diah ordered. By the way, they somehow do not serve nasi padang the way they serve it back in Indonesia. It is more like having nasi campur or nasi kandar here where we just order what we want unlike the real nasi padang where they would just put everything on the table and you just eat whatever you want to eat and leave the rest untouched.

From left to right, ayam bakar, which is Mama Diah’s favorite chicken dish, gulai nangka (jack fruit), gulai telur (egg), chicken soup, which is meant for Pasha, sambal merah and a glass of honey dew juice.

Now these are what Papa Bear ordered.

From left to right, gulai pucuk ubi, udang petai (prawns), ayam pop and a glass of honey lemon. The ayam pop was not as good as the one that we always had in Jakarta or Dumai but considering that this is the only place that sells it, it was better than nothing…

Two pictures of Mama Diah and Pasha eating. Nowadays Pasha would not want to seat in the baby chair anymore. He prefers to sit on our lap. The third picture is Papa Bear and Pasha at the cashier and the last picture showing the missing “D” on the word “RESERVED” on the parking sign. With such good food, who cares about the missing “D” anyway…

That’s what you get when you feed your child properly. Pasha trying out Mama Diah newly bought sunglasses while on the way to Sunway Pyramid after a great lunch!

So, if you miss or want to try a decent nasi padang, that is the closest to what you can get in Indonesia, head over to Sari Ratu.

I have not been updating this blog for a few days now. I am around but I was just too busy to update and not too lazy to update. Why?

It was a long weekend with the Deepavali holiday that fell on Monday and during those days I was either out of the house or in the house but out of blogging. On Saturday, I went out with my family to an open house hosted by an ex-colleague somewhere in Kampung Subang and right after that, we went to get some shoes for my wife’s clients at SACC and Sunway Pyramid. By the time I got home, I was already too exhausted and watching Malaysia went down on penalty to Vietnam added to the no desire to update mood.

On Sunday, I had a fellow blogger, Lankapo and his family coming over for lunch and in the evening, the whole family went out to Jusco at Sunway Pyramid to top up our groceries and those were enough to take up any blogging time available.

On Monday, my family and I attended another open house by an ex-colleague somewhere in Puchong and then we went over to Lankapo’s house for a visit.

While at home during all those days, blogging would definitely not a good idea when my son, Pasha, was actively up, awake and playing as we had to play along with him. By the time he got tired and went to sleep, we were already sleeping and there went my blogging time…

Yesterday, I thought that I could put up an entry, I had to attend to a customer with some upgrade issues and the little time that I had for my break, I used that to catch up on my myLot postings since I am just a few cents away to make it to my minimum payout limit so that I can get paid by next month.

So, due to the above, I was not doing my regular Entrecard drops and I have not been able to reply to those who had shouted at the shoutbox. I think there are one or two comments that I have not replied yet. However, not to worry as I will be dropping EC, replying to shouts, replying to comments and updating regularly once I have got my rhythm back.

Thanks to those who have come over during these quiet days at Kisahberuang.com! You are the best! Yeah, you! I am talking to you!

26^th 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!
