Goh Desserts Puchong Sambal Petai Rice

Breakfast at the Goh Desserts Puchong Jaya turned out to be a mixed affair. While the food itself is usually good, environmental factors played a significant role in the meal experience.

I ordered the Nasi Lemak and Jen had the Fried Vermicelli (Mee Hoon), but unfortunately, both were served too cold. This was primarily because the food tray was positioned directly under an air-conditioning unit blowing downwards, which rapidly chilled the pre-prepared portions.

The Kopi, which I have liked before, was a bright spot and remained good.

Thankfully, the meal was saved by a plate of Sambal Petai Minced Meat. Although this dish typically comes with rice, I requested it without since I already had the Nasi Lemak. Because it was stir-fried to order, it arrived hot, and Jen and I used its warmth to help heat up our other dishes. I particularly liked the spiciness of the sambal.

This temperature issue seems specific to the air-conditioned Puchong Jaya outlet; it is not a problem at the original house-based Tan Yew Lai location which relies on natural ventilation.
