Buka Puasa @ Puti Bungsu Batam, Jalan Yap Kwan Seng
We were at Puti Bungsu Batam once again for buka puasa this year - it was on a rainy day and the road was heavily jammed so we decided to stop at this fabulous nasi padang eatery for buka puasa. Unlike last year, this years buka puasa at this restaurant witnessed dozn more people - it was fullhouse. Perhaps last year they had just opened their doors and not many people know the place tapi tahun ni siap ada satu bas lagi datang, I suppose it was an office buka puasa get together. a long table was occupied by children which I suppose was an orphanage buka puasa treat - well not bad a crowd - syabas Puti Bungsu!

Restoran Puti Bungsu Batam, Jalan Yap Kwan Seng


We were at our favourite Nasi Padang restaurant again last night, where else, Restoran Puti Bungsu Batam at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. The food was as always, fantastic and affordable for Nasi Padang. Tonight, we ordered the usual must; bergedil, ayam goreng, daging rendang, kuah ayam, sambal hijau and telur sambal ala lado. For drinks we both had the ice blended sour sop. Sedappppnyeeee!
Yet, the best Nasi Padang we've ever had so far was during our recent trip to Solo. The place was actually a roadside stall, real small and only lit by candles nearby our hotel but the taste was really superb and definitely cheaper than what we can expect here. Photos of this later ya.

Buka Puasa @ Puti Bongsu Batam
My craze for nasi padang started after my family's vacation to Jakarta and Bandung way back in 1983. Our week's stay there was torturous as we had to eat nasi padang and indomie every single day but when coming back my mother and I began to crave for what at that time was scarce in Kuala Lumpur. I am sure if my mother was still around she would frequent this place as well.
Nasi Padang Puti Bungsu Batam is a family owned restaurant from Batam, Indonesia. We had a chance to meet the very friendly owner, a young chap who was here to help his brother set up their Kuala Lumpur branch. Eating here (our usual meal, rendang, berdegel, sambal hijo and avocado chocolate for myself and chicken, berdegel and sour sop) would costs us around RM35 per visit while at Sari Bunda in Cheras, for the same meal would usually costs us more than RM50.
Suring Ramadahan they offer a range of buffet variety for RM30 per pax but we chose to eat ala carte - that's the magic of eating nasi padang - a la carte. So, this place is definitely a would come back for us as the food is delicious and the ambiance is definitely great.

First Week of Ramadhan
The first day of Ramadhan we went to Puteri Bongsu Restaurant - my favourite Nasi Padang Restaurant at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng - we had our usual; rendang daging, bergedel, sambal hijau and chicken plus my favourite Avocado chocolate nad my other half's Durian Belanda for our drinks. Yummy!
We also went to Cozy Corner at Ampang Park twice where I had, what else, my favourite Chicken Chop with gravy and on our second visit we had fried chicken with dried chilli, tom yam, kailan in oyster sauce plus sharks fin soup and banana split. Yummy!
We had not much choice as Ampang Park seems to be the easiest to access at the nearest time for berbuka. I finish work at 4:30 but my love here at 5:30 - so by the time I am chauffeured from the office, it will be somewhere after 6pm. So one of our break fast treat was Pizza Hut where our pizza was accidentally upgraded to a LARGE instead of what we ordered, a REGULAR. Well, we didn't know as it was our first time ordering the diplicious pizza (the one with sausage stuffing and a cheese dip) as the pizza looks regular size but it was put on a large pan because of the sausages - huh rezeki la orang kata... rezeki bulan ramadhan and the waitress didn't say anything until we've eaten half of the pizza. Hehehehe thank you there.
But the best buka puasa treat in the first week of Ramadhan was at Hill Side Restaurant in Bukit Antarabangsa - it was a buffet for RM29+ per person where they server BBQ on Mondays - it is RM25 net for other days where they serve different menu everyday. Considering it is a small family restaurant and a not so big serving of food lineup, we enjoyed our meal there as much as the warm staff of the restaurant. We'll definitely come back to try the rest of the buffet.
