Re-revisiting Lao You Ji (老友記)

Dinner at Lao You Ji. The English name always reminds me of 老油鸡 😂. I'm getting mixed feelings about the food here. It used to be positive but some of the choices we've made have shifted that down the spectrum. Including the ones here today. Maybe we'll come back someday to try their beef fried rice juice. 😂

Cai por omelette was a little greasy and not in a good way. We couldn't taste any cai por in it. Mediocre would be an apt description.

Claypot lamb was disappointing. I don't know if they cooked the lamb in the claypot but that sauce doesn't seem to have any lamb flavour. I couldn't even tell that some of the pieces were lamb. Could have been pork, especially for those pieces that have skin. That's pretty bad. Will not waste money on this again.

We had 铁板豆腐. Decent tasting but not impressive. Pedestrian as it was, it made one of the two better tasting dishes tonight. What's happening here?

Their sambal petai was a tad too sweet. The next door has a better rendition.

The second decent dish was stir fried nai bai. Nice crunch from the vegetable, well salted and garlic. Would have been sad if they messed this one up.

I'm gonna stay off this place for a bit and maybe check out their neighbours the next time we eat in the vicinity.
