Our Wrong Choice Of Food

The very first question when we got into the car is..."What are we going to eat?  Go where?"  We looked at each other and sometimes we drive around aimlessly until we find the spot that attracts us... and last Sunday was no exception.  Eventually we ended up in a coffeeshop along the Airport Road here in IPOH...
 
chicken curry wrapped with bread..RM28
When I saw the plastic layer inside the bread, I told myself..
No more ordering this next time..
claypot fish.... their signature dish...RM28
(I coloured the fish eye... looks monstrous to me!)
mini french beans, crunchy and fresh.... RM8
Andy was as bewildered as me... 
I think we will not go there for a long time..
The bill came to RM69.30 plus rice and drinks for the 4 of us...
Overpriced and the food was not really that great...
Wrong choice for us, definitely...

    I have that chicken wrapped with bread at Seremban. Very nice. You don't like kah? That plate of fench beans looks bland.

    Seems to be overpriced. Not sure about the taste of that chicken wrap in bread at airport road, but the kampar version is very nice.

    Hubby tried the chicken curry wrapped with bread once but he didn't like it. It was quite expensive too, tho' I can't recall how much he paid.

    Sorry u didn't enjoy your meal :< Have a great week, dear!

    So sorry to hear the food there is not good. I would be horrified too to see plastic inside the bread layer. Claire, I think you can cook better :D

    We have the curry chicken bun here too...and my missus bought - nice but somehow they do not seem to make them anymore. Another place making now, but they use plastic too - so no, thank you. Nothing great, anyway - just cook curry, buy bun kosong and eat...also the same.

    That's kinda steep. Don't like it when they use plastic is cooking. Its just as bad when you order "yao choy". I have seen many places especially chicken rice shop tying up the bunch with a rafia string before blanching them in the hot water. Reason for doing so is to ensure that the vegies look nicely arranged:(
