Sat morning, as usual spent at the hospital for my weekly doctor visit. Update on my preggy: the baby is as active as ever, constantly moving & twirling inside my stomach with a good steady heartbeat - which according to my Doc's sounds more like a boy heartbeat rather than a girl. Doctor's prediction from the size of her head, she weighted at about 2.8 - 3 Kilos. Her umbilical cord now looping twice around her body, thank god we already scheduled for a C-Section for next week. Nothing serious resulting from this though, the Doc half jokingly said that it’s a good sign that means the baby girl is going to be a beautiful baby and might perhaps became the future Putri Indonesia – there’s a myth if you were born with umbilical cord wrap around your body it means you’re going to grow as a beautiful lady, Amin!
Sleepy and starving, Me & R head for Senayan City for lunch afterwards. We were actually looking for Duck King cause I’m craving for La Mian noodle, but unfortunately they’re not open for business yet! So we settled in with Nan Xiang instead. It’s not exactly a new restaurant, they have an outlet in Hilton Apartment for quite sometime and my sister in law did a launching of her book there last year. The food they served on the buffet during the event was very nice, they had tasty Chinese fried rice, salted squid and braised veggies. So I’m quite optimistic about the restaurant.
The size of their outlet in Senayan City was quite small though, but the interior is good, sharp and bright with mirror on both side of the wall to give the impression that the restaurant is larger. I ordered La Mian with sliced beef whereas R ordered La Mian with minced beef and mushroom sauce, with extra deep fried mantau and chicken & prawn bun. La Mian is very yummy, the soup is very tasty and the beef is very mouthwatering. R minced beef and mushroom sauce look very yummy as well, the soup come in separate bowl though because the La Mian was covered with thick minced and mushroom sauce. This food is totally refreshing! Not much to comment on the deep fried mantau, needless to say it’s a mantau!
The chicken & prawn bun on the other hand is very yummy. You suppose to bite a little bit of its side and then inserted the sauce inside your bite hole along with a ginger. There’s a soup inside the bun that feel like a melting bliss on your tongue when you chew the bun. The sauce however has this funny smell, a typical rotten or fermentised chinese sauce smell with a very funny taste as well. Surprisingly, it works well with the bun.
Looking at the menu, there are many yummy dishes on board – but that day I was already aiming for La Mian. It will cost at about $15 to $20 to dine in for 2, depending on what you’re having. Seafood on the menu will definitely cost more! Btw, Lippobank card holder received 10% off discount for their bill - sweet!
