THE MENU "from Sea to Pot"

Image
The menu varies from your daily mee goreng to healthy ulam-ulaman  (organic, wild shoots of herbal plants with medicinal values) served with sambal belacan (homemade shrimp paste from the shrimp caught at Pandan), ikan bakar (catch of the day) with air asam (freshly squeezed asam jawa with onions and chopped tomatoes)..... a treat not to be missed......  The menu varies based on seasonal catch from the sea, and that being said, seafood will be our main dishes besides promoting kampung dishes and kampung style cooking , which is not just healthy but also meets the tastebuds of visitors to this beach cafe. Catch of the day! Lobsters!  At this initial stage, the cafe serves mee goreng with seafood, esp squid (now that it's squid season) , Singapore style mee hoon and Ipoh Char Kuay Teow, and Penang Rojak Buah plus cold and hot drinks to quench your thirst , especially on a hot and sunny day at the beach. That's more on a daily basis.....for
