Q Wok Nyonya Curry House 秋閣娘惹咖喱屋

I remember sometime last year, I had breakfast at this area, and I thought I saw this place was under massive renovation. And happened today I was thinking where should we bring dad and mom for dinner, and this place was just came to my mind at the right time.

Have been having those normal ‘chu-char’ for quite some time, but today we’ll just wanted to have something different. And after all the old folks have not have Nyonya food for awhile, thus, we drove all the way to Bukit Minyak for dinner.

It’s a two shop lots that combined for this place, I supposed this place is rather full during working hours, cuz, it’s near to Juru Auto City as well as Prai Industrial Estate.

Since, this is our first time, we just have something simple and also order their recommendation.

Sambal Petai (RM20-00) is our family’s favourite, regardless how it cook. For Q-Wok Nyonya, the taste is slightly on the sour side, we presume they use asam water.

Dark Soya Meat (RM9-00), is a small pot that we have, meat is tender and marinated well.

Curry Squids (RM10-00)

Stir Fry Mixed Vegetables (RM12-00)

Assam Prawns (RM21-00), prawns were fresh, and the sauce was absolutely refreshing.

Overall, I quite like the place, at least it’s clean and food isn’t that bad. After all, can’t find any good Nyonya food in Butterworth, thus, this is definitely another choice of place for lunch and dinner.

Q-Wok Nyonya also selling their home made curry paste, and sambal belancan paste, per packet is RM3-50 and RM4-00 respectively. They have also changed their serving time effective Oct 18 last year.

Have had heard of lots good comment about this place, and in fact, it’s famous for those people that live around that neighborhood. This shop has been around for many years, in fact, before the new fly over were built. I remembered I used to see this shop around whenever we used the old trunk road to travel down to Johor, to KL or to Ipoh. This shop is always full of people.

It never came to my mind till my sis suggested let’s have dinner down there, as the “Domestic Minister” needs a break for the week. Well, what can we say more when there’s a strike, right? We were all pretty good in listening to the “Domestic Minister”, thus, without second thought, we drove all the way there for dinner.

Thought this would be another place for our deary “Domestic Minister”, what impresses us was the food serving was extremely fast, it’s like on an express mode. You just don’t believe it; it can be so fast within few minutes. I wonder is this being ‘ISO audited’. Well, joke aside, we were told, they use PDA to take orders as well, but, that night itself we didn’t get to see it. Probably that’s what people speculating around.

Being new to this place, what we ordered basically is pretty conservative to our taste buds. Of course, you didn’t want to be adventured about the food and risk your wallet. Thus these few dishes were digested …

Curry Fish Head (咖喱魚頭),

Pork Ribs aka “Pai Kut Ong” (排骨王)

Ginger Onion Frog (薑蔥田雞)

Stir Fry Vegetable (清炒芥蘭)

Sizzling Bean Curd (鐵板豆腐)

When you’re running out of idea what to have for breakfast, you will tend to find other food or invade into other place for food.

Well, I am invading to Juru for food for today’s breakfast. If it’s not because of we are running out of places to have our breakfast, guess I won’t be that adventure to get into another town for food.

Juru or rather Bukit Tengah has developed a new township, where you could see lots of residential houses and shop houses around that area. And am sure people from Bukit Mertajam, Nibong Tebal will find food around this area.

It was a spontaneous decision to find food around this area, we never thought of driving all the way down here for food too… while we were looking around we saw this big sign board, opening on 9 July 2009 which is last Thursday. I believe it’s something new for us to try.

Without second thought, we walked in. Clean and simple decoration of 2 shop houses that made into 1, which make this place spacious and cater for more customers.

For breakfast, they are serving noodles like Koay Teow Th’ng and Hokkien Mee. For lunch they serve steam rice like mushroom chicken, garlic spicy chicken, minced pork, salted fish minced pork, etc.

Apart from the main dishes, they also have side dishes like steam grouper, chicken, bean sprout, vegetables, spring roll, lobak, fried fish ball, etc.

I believe they are not only cater to the surrounding residents but also Prai Industrial Estate Phase IV which is rather near to this township.

What we have for our 1st visit was a bowl of Hokkien Mee for hubby.

And I have a bowl of Dried KTT.

A plate of bean sprout as side dish as well as their famous lobak.

I would have to mention down here, perhaps they are new, the lobak is rather tiny and little for customers, wish they could improve on that.

I like the cup that they serve for hot drinks like white coffee, coffee, milo, holick, etc. Isn’t this cute?

I have a glass of hot longan… look at it the stirrer, isn’t it sexy?
