A food journey to Onde Onde Restaurant!

Whenever I read the newspaper and come across with those food reviews by famous fellas, I think it is kinda cool to eat all those delicious food and best thing is, FOC! And so, I was kinda surprised and excited when i received a mail last wednesday from Mr Syed Abdul Muiz, thee manager of Onde Onde restaurant located at Water front, desa park city thanks to Michelle Leong. It is still kinda unbelievable that i got this chance to go for a food review event.

On thursday, me, michl and her sis went to the restaurant around 7.20pm.A brief introduction was given by Mr Muiz regarding the restaurant and the food. The restaurant was designed in baba nyonya style to give customers a different feeling. There are many variety of food from different places on the list, such as Penang Prawn Mee, baba nyonya food etc.







We were served with beverages,roti bakar and kuih as our starter. The cucumber drink is kinda special as the ingredients used are the Japan cucumbers, asam boi and lime, very refreshing indeed.
 the starters! the onde onde and i forgot the name for the other kuih lol
rate: 4/5
the roti bakar! It tastes good! Duck eggs were used as the ingredient of the kaya to bring out the aroma of the kaya and make it smoother 
rate: 4/5
the coffees and the cucumber drink. I like the coffee :)
rate: 4/5

 After that, we were served with Zhu Cheong Fan, Asam Laksa, Penang Prawn Mee and combo set as our main dishes, sagu and cendol as our dessert.

Main Dishes:
Zhu Cheong Fan: a flatter zhu cheong fan was used instead of the typical round and thick 1. The sauce used had Har Gou as one of the ingredient. This is the first time I had this food, so it tasted quite ok
rate: 4/5
Asam Laksa: One of my favourite food!!! In my opinion, it was too sweet for me as I am used to light taste kinda food. The sour was there but it was not sour enough to make me crave for more. Overall it is average for my standard
rate: 3/5
Prawn Mee: Overall it tasted good, but it is not spicy enough.
rate: 3/5

 Combo set: In the set, there are popiah, fried rice with scrambled egg and curry laksa. The fried rice tasted good but it was a bit oily. Besides that, the curry laksa was average for me, as it was not spicy enough.
rate: 3/5

Desserts:
I forgot the name of this dessert, anyway the ingredient was the sagu and with the mixture of santan and gula malacca. It was delicious! 
rate: 4/5

 the best of all, durian cendol!!!! this cendol is so delicious!!
 rate: 4.5/5

 My stomach was so full after the last dessert. In my opinion, the desserts served here are very good. Another place to be considered besides Jonker 88. I am not saying Jonker 88 is not good, it is just too far to go and quite impossible for us to go whenever we crave for cendols. Thanks again to Mr Muiz for his invitation!

ps: this is my first food review though, so please be lenient to me lol
