Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan @ House + Co

Lunch today was with my kakis from my former workplace. Venue this time was House + Co at Bangsar Shopping Centre. This place has become one of my favorite dining places since another friend introduced it to me some time middle of this year. Uniknya about this place is, it is located inside a shop selling furnitures, home decor and houseware. Dari luar nobody would have known there is a restaurant inside. From the interior decor of the restaurant, one would have expected menu dia mesti fancy international western menu yang sampai tergeliat lidah nak sebut. On the contrary, there are only 9 common dishes on the menu . I could even list them all here:-

APPETIZER

Edamame - Japanese soya bean dusted in sea salt

SALADS

Kurt's Grape & Pine Nut Salad
- Fresh crunchy vegetables, grapes and pine nuts tossed in light creamy dressing
Caesar Salad - Crispy lettuce tossed in a cheesy dressing topped off with croutons prepared in olive oil

SANDWICHES

Tuna Walnut Pita - Toasted whole meal pita bread stuffed with peppery tuna, crunchy walnuts, lettuce and carrots.

Beef Rendang Pita - Toasted whole meal pita bread stuffed with spicy and tender beef rendang, lettuce and carrots

Chicken Pita - Toasted whole meal pita bread stuffed with poached chicken and toasted pecans, lettuce and carrots

MAIN COURSE

Nyonya Curry Laksa - Your choice of noodles served served in hot spicy coconut creamy gravy with poached chicken, prawns, bean sprouts, tofu and cabbage

Today, Roza, Elle and I ordered Beef Rendang Pita and Chicken Pita whilst Tress and Mel ordered Nyonya Curry Laksa. The dishes sound plain but what make them special is the food arrangement and garnishing other than rasanya yang sedap. My favorite here is the Nasi Lemak Sotong especially the sambal. The next time aku datang sini, I'll post a pic of the Nasi Lemak which has an equally interesting food presentation. 4 stars out of 5 for this place.
