So after going for a walk over my lunch break I decided after thinking about it for a while that I fancied something spicy, so decided to visit Nusa Kitchen.
It’s at times like this that I really should read my own blog, as on my previous visit there I wasn’t impressed.
My initial reaction on opening the box was one of disappointment, I was expecting grilled chicken, it wasn’t grilled, well it might have been but there was no grilled look or flavour. The sauce was scattered across the chicken, however it lacked flavour. I couldn’t detect the coconut in the coconut rice, but it was otherwise cooked well, nice and separate and not sticky. The salad was fresh and interesting. Even with the disappointment of what it looked like, alas the eating experience didn’t change my perspective, and it was a disappointing meal overall. I don’t think I will return.
One of there reasons I blog about my eating experience is to remind me not to buy and eat at places I had eaten at.
So forgetting about my last experience completely I went there again. I vaguely remember eating from there before, but I couldn’t recall exactly what I had ordered and what it had been like… simple solution read my own blog!
I chose the Vietnamese Chicken, fragrant flame grilled chicken served with coconut rice and salad, which is what I had before and was disappointed with.
This time I was disappointed again, not because it wasn’t any good, but I never got any, as they had sold out of the chicken.
Looking over the menu I went with the Asian Inspired Tofu & Mushrooms.
The tofu was interesting, but the mushrooms lacked flavour. The sauce was scattered across the tofu and the mushrooms (as before) and it also lacked flavour. The menu describes the rice now as just rice, no mention of coconut, this was cooked well, nice and separate and not sticky. The salad was fresh and interesting.
However as before the overall experience was this time just okay. I must remember both this meal and the previous one, next time I go out for lunch.
