BSB Revisited IV: Lucky Restaurant

Lucky Restaurant is a typical Chinese restaurant in Bandar Seri Begawan. Downstairs is catered for exress meals where rice is served with roasted meats and upstairs, one gets air-conditioning and enough space to hold a wedding banquet. There's of course a stage flanked by very traditional wood carvings of a dragon and a phoenix. In KL, you'd most probably only see a cheap styrofoam representation. The prices there are quite fair, not costing more than the other coffee shops nearby. So in a way, it's more value for money. The waitresses even dress up like SQ air stewardesses (but looks wise, more like retired air stewardess la). Huhu. But the only thing 'lucky' about the place is the name. No cute waiters or kitchen staff for me to ogle at. Sigh. At least the lala kids at the Laksamana College of Business provide some respite. Food-wise, Lucky Restaurant serves up quite a big portion. Quite tasty too. So far I had tasted their beef kuay teow and Singapore bihun. The beef kuay teow was done 'wet style' and comparable to those back home. The beef was tender and the gravy had the right consistency. However, the bihun was a bit off, with turmeric taking center stage. Kinda like something from the mamak stall. And I must say that I still have not tasted a decent char siew over here. So that dish did not score high in my book. But still, a decent meal.

But........ my roommate wasn't so lucky. He had a rough night. Something wasn't right. He vomitted the next morning.... I had quite a hard time evading the questions from my clients regarding what he ate... They wanted to know which restaurant to avoid. But it's actually zero risk to them since I don't think they eat braised pork ribs anyway. Haha.
