Al-ameen Eating House

Ok updates again. Sorry I haven't been regularly updating the blog in the past few days, been busy. And when I get home I usually feel too tired to do so. Anyway, a few days ago I made a trip to the west for supper after a fruitful mahjong session. Winson are you reading?? I went to the west to eat ok? Just for you! Though I'm sure you've been here before. Haha. Anyway its pretty standard that supper beckons after a late night mahjong session, and since Sean stays in the west, Terence and I had to be accommodating.

Made our way to Al-ameen eating house. It's pretty standard that we come here for supper since food is always pretty good and it's opened like 24hrs?

Sean ordered 2 kosong (plain) pratas while I settled for my usual telo bawang (egg onion) prata. My reasoning for always ordering telo bawang prata is that the prata is usually served to you hot since not many people order it so they have to make it fresh. It's my standard whenever I go to any prata shop.

Anyway, the prata here is pretty standard la, hasn't gone wrong whenever we eat here. Its a bit crispy on the outside and some what fluffy. Quite a lot of onions inside too! Great for farting or belching. Haha! =X The fish curry served that day was rather disappointing though. Don't know why it was so so so salty! Maybe it was over simmered or they accidentally spilled a whole bag of salt inside. Need some QC for that man but otherwise prata was pretty good.

Terence ordered his usual fried chicken too. Its a set meal that consists of chicken, fries and some salad. Being greedy, Sean and I also had a piece each. Chicken is nicely fried to a golden brown. Be careful when you take your first bite, its usually very hot and can burn your lips. The chicken is nicely marinated and battered before being fried, giving it good flavour and fragrance. Meat is tender and juicy. I guess you can't really go very wrong with chicken wings. Fries and salad were SOP, nothing to shout about. I remember getting more fries last time though.

Another one of my standards is the teh cino peng. Seems like I always drink it when I'm a muslim food stall. Their teh cino was sweet and creamy, pretty good for a sugar rush but can't drink too much of it. Will be quite jelak.

Overall, food here is pretty standard except for the curry which let me down. Service was ok though a little slow, plus they got our orders mixed up a little bit. Guess they were quite busy that night. Prices are quite ok as well. $0.80 for kosong prata and $1.50 for telo bawang prata. The 2 piece chicken set is $3 and teh cino is something like $1.60? I think prices are Simpang are a little more expensive.
