The Art of Slicing a Juicy Sausage...

1. This is a RM11.90 plate of succulent porky sausages from Nambawan Cafe...


2. My Hunny cutting the sausage whilst I snap the photos...


3. Waaahhh....the juiciness which is actually bits of cheese embedded with the minced meat mixture...


4. Waaahhh...more juice oozing out....not dry at all...


5. Wowww.... I miss it already....minced meat which still has the "bite" and right amount of seasonings...Hunny and I actually ate this again tonite...we went on Sat Evening but I didn't bring my G9 out...


Very worth the RM11.90!

Here is the Amatriciana Spaghetti I had again bec also very nice...only RM8.90



After mixing...the sauce is not too tangy...just the way I like it....



And Hunny's Fish & Chips...forgot how much it was...forgot where I put the receipt...



All these plus a cup of hot milk tea for around RM35.00

Bunny eats at Nambawan again Part 4

Last nite not knowing where to eat, we decided to go to Nambawan again. When we got there, the sifu was doing some serious charbroiling and roasting. Instead of sitting inside where we normally sit, we decided to sit outside. There were table settings for 12 pax on the inside. So that explained the rather stuffy condition in the cafe.

Hunny went straight for his regular fav whilst I was determined to try something new.I was wanting to eat some pasta but wasn't sure what to choose. The ladyboss then recommended the Amatriciana Pasta (RM8.90) which she also likes to eat and even more amazingly...her pet cat also loves to eat it too! I trusted her recommendation and when it came, I was initially put off by the Parmesan cheese smell as I am not a fan of strong smelling cheeses but after mixing everything in, it complemented the pasta beautifully. There weren't much sauce but the spaghetti was al-dente with bits of Pancetta bacon in it. The taste was just right...not too peppery nor sour.



Hunny's Roast Pork Belly (RM12.90) as usual tasted good but I wished he'd try something new so that I could blog more about it.


As I could see Hunny wasn't too full after the Roast Pork Belly and I was just right after the pasta, we decided to try the Oxford English Pork Sausage (RM11.90) as the ladyboss was always recommending to us. We were transfixed when the plate came. It looked really crispy on the outside. Hunny suddenly exclaimed "Oh My GOD!!!" as he was slicing the sausage into bite sized pieces for us to eat n I looked over....."WOWWWWWW....!!!!" ... the sausage was so so juicy!!! The juice came from the bits of cheese embedded within the not too finely minced meat. The sausage texture was really GOOD...very BEST!!! The minced meat still had some bite to it and wasn't oily at all. The herbs mixture was not too overpowering, the cheesey bits provided the yummy juiciness as we chewed away....we both agreed that these sausages were HEAVENLY...!!! The sausages were made freshly by the sifu's supplier whom he refused to reveal to us where he got them for. So we'll have to go back to Nambawan if we want to eat more of these succulent porky delights.


Hunny and I love the french fries here. We even asked for the roasted potatos in the Roast Pork Belly to be subsituted with french fries instead. Yum Yum! Can fight with Mc D fries but it's even better here as there is no oily aftertaste.

Last but not least, this is my mug of lemonade! It's really a huge mug of lemonade!!! Got real lemon juice in it! Tangy and sweet at the same time. Outside cannot find such a big mug of lemonade for only RM3.90!!!! Yummy!!!


We were lucky when we arrived at 7pm, the cafe was still relatively empty. When we left, they were almost full house. We were glad that they had customers after weeks of seeing it empty.

Total damage to Hunny's wallet was only RM39.48 (inclusive 5%) tax. So worth it!!! Where can find...clean surroundings, 3 main courses, 1 fresh fruit juice for this price???? Yummy!!!!

Bunny eats at Nambawan with SA members

Bunny and Hunny met up for dinner with the Shutterasia Photo Members at Nambawan Cafe. It was a really fun night out on that rainy evening.

We shared this plate of pesto toast and spare ribs. I found the pesto yummy but the Parmesan was overpowering as I don't really fancy Parmesan Cheese. The spare ribs were a lil dry at the meaty part but was done just nicely at the bone parts.



I decided to try something else and ordered their Tenderloin with Gravalax Sauce done up Medium Rare. Yummy!!! Just as bloody and juicy as I imagined it to be.




Hunny ordered chicken dish recommended by the lady boss. It was a cheesy chicken breast. The breast wasn't dry but the portion was a bit too small for Hunny's appetite.




In my opinion, I think it's best to stick to the porky dishes at Nambawan Cafe.

Joyce brought along a box of Yee Sang and the whole table (8 of us excluding Joyce) exclaimed as it was way past Chinese New Year. The lady boss set up the plate for us and told us to add orange juice to the sauces to make it taste better. There was no raw fish slices in there...just the crispy bits and preserved ginger. The lady boss was right...by adding the orange juice, the dish tasted really fresh!





The emptied plate. Ahh....satisfaction....bliss....

Nambawan Again!

Hunny and I came back to Nambawan again but this time we invited Shujin and Food-Cookies along. When we got there at noon, the owner told us that Roast Pork Belly will only be ready at 12.30pm which was fine with us. As Shujin and Food-Cookies were running late, Hunny and I ordered a serving of Swedish Meatballs in Gravalax Sauce with Roast Potatoes and Salad to munch on while waiting for them.



According to the chef, the original Swedish Meatballs are a mixture of beef and pork minced meat unlike the IKEA ones which are all beef because of the halal issue. The meatballs were nice as it had a "bite" to it and you could taste the meat texture as it was chopped finely by hand instead of processed in a mixer. There are also a mixture of herbs in to make these meatballs more tasty and aromatic. This portion cost RM8.90.

After finishing that plate, Hunny invited other friends who lived nearby along to discuss some business and enjoy some more food. We ordered 2 portions of Roast Pork Belly, 1 charbroiled Pork Chop and 1 Cod Fish with Bacon Sauce.

My pork chop came and the first bite, it was really juicy and not overcooked. As I bite and chew, the meat juices squirt out making it a really tasty meal. RM12.90 for this.






Hunny's roast pork was also as yummy as last week but a bit more fatty. RM13.90 per serving.

Shujin and food-cookies came and they ordered Roasted Pork Belly and the Homemade Pork Burger. Food-Cookies complained that her pork skin wasn't nice and it stuck on her teeth. We then told her to leave some skin aside for it to rest and continue with her meal. You will have to wait at about 10 minutes to enjoy crispy pork crackling as the fats on the freshly roasted skin needs to settle in to create that crispiness. You can either wait or eat the meat first and leave the skin till later to enjoy. Later on. she tasted the skin that has rested and to her delight, the skin was really crunchy and she enjoyed it.

Suddenly as we were finishing, we met 2 Shutterasian members who came to try the food after reading my blog. They too ordered the pork burger and roast pork belly and enjoyed it thoroughly. They were also satisfied at the cheap prices. They said it was cheap, nice and delicious. DT, I must say, looked very satisfied at the roast pork belly and judging from his look, he'll be back there for more. J also enjoyed her Pork Burger too.

Before I forget, you will have to tell the wait staff or the chef that you want your meats slightly undercooked as they normally do well done meats for their customers as most don't like pinkish meats.

The boss recommended us to try their Hainanese Tea and it tasted nice and smooth and not too sweet. It would have been better if Malaysia sold back condensed milk instead of sweetened creamer. Our bill came up to RM75.00:-

1. 2 servings of Roast Pork Belly
2. 1 Pork Chop
3. 1 serving meatballs
4. 1 Pork Burger
5. 1 Lemonades (freshly squeezed),
6. 2 Iced Lemon Teas
7. 1 freshly extracted Watermelon juice
8. 1 hot tea.

RM75.00 for 4 people with all those food and drinks!!! Really worth it! Do pay this restaurant a visit. Very Yummy!!!
