Last night, da missus and I decided to immerse ourselves into the Andaman experience after reading all the good things that have been said here, here and here.
The restaurant is indeed very cosy with less than ten tables inside and a few more outside for those preferring to dine with marlboro man. We didnt have marlboro man with us, so we chose to dine inside.
The menu was a clean and simple affair, with probably 5 to 10 items per category. Good for the indecisive among us. We ordered the Rojak Ayam, Andaman Lamb Stew, Butter Chicken, and Sayur Pakis masak belacan.
The rojak reminded me of the one they used to serve at the triple-K roadhouse. Crispy fried chicken pieces served on a bed of fresh crisp lettuce and topped with a nice tangy sauce. Tastewise it was good, but I think some crushed peanuts would have given it an extra oomph.
The lamb stew came highly recommended and it was lovely cos I'm a sucker for lamb! I think however, that if they used bigger chunks of proper stewing lamb it would have been even better heheh... and I wouldnt have minded paying slightly more for that.
The butter chicken was delightful and I really enjoyed the rustic flavours of the herbs and spices infused into the tomato and butter sauce. This is one dish I'd order again.
But the highlight of the night had to be the sayur pakis. Very, very nice and da missus agreed! Just the right flavour, i.e. not too belacany (heheh) and just nicely cooked, not overdone. This dish definitely makes our local vegetables look good!
All the above food enjoyed in a nice cosy environment with pretty good service (I think the waiters need to speak up and be a tad more bubbly, i.e. not to be confused with campy!) for just under 20 bucks? I say good value for money! Perhaps one suggestion guys... stock up on Coke Light please? (",)
