Ugly Cabbage in Fish Sauce

Made a last minute call to Enjoy Eating House & Bar, and luckily they had a table for four at lunch. Literally confirmed the table just an hour before we stopped by. Although they now have a new branch at Mercure Hotel on Stevens Road, we went to its original branch at Jalan Besar's Kam Leng Hotel. Small is nice. The original branch is a lot more charming for us. 

We had randomly ran into the friends at coffee in the morning, and we were saying how we (all of us) had no plans for the day because it had been a crazy week. So we made an immediate and impromptu lunch date. We sent the dogs home. Yeah, the friends needed to deposit their cute Rottweiler at home too. I fed Choya, left her to snooze, and we shimmied out to lunch. Fuss-free. 

Food was still good. A touch of zi char, a bit of your grandmother's homecooked awesomeness, and a bit of Thai flavors. We ordered very conservatively in order to keep lunch light for our stomachs. Tee Kah (pork trotters) Beehoon, Nyonya chicken curry, a bowl of XO white fish soup, and its Ugly Cabbage in Fish Sauce. Steamed jasmine rice provided the carbs we wanted to go along with the curry. No desserts. Oof. I was totally here for the Ugly Cabbage in fish sauce. I love how the kitchen does it!
