Aye caramba .. it's El Cactus

the food!!!

The El Cactus



The Cactus Kid


This is a food post coz it's really near lunch and I'm really hungry despite last night's dinner, whereby Vicky whipped up his famous Penne Carbonara with Pork and Mushrooms. I was full beyond belief, but that's last night and today is today.

Last weekend we went to our home away from home, and wanted to go eat at Jom Makan again (for their delicious seafood & grilled cockles) but the weather was wet and Vicky thought perhaps we can try something different.

Discovered this gem of a restaurant nestled in a bungalow called El Cactus, well as the name suggests it's mexican food la. Great since I was in a mood for beef nachos actually! Good grief, the food was good, and cooked by the owner herself, for starters we ordered the prerequisite beef nachos and I was feeling up for some NZ mussels so ordered that too. Mind you there's only the 3 of us, and y'know Niki isn't exactly the makan-ing type. For our main course we ordered pan grilled salmon in butter sauce and I had the leg of lamb, totally delicious.
And they were serving apple crumble for dessert which I tried to have but couldn't coz well the main course portion was just too huge, and my stomach doesn't expand as well as it did anymore.
For a place full of chinese seafood taichow types and malay tomyam types, this is a welcomed change really..excellent ambience, great service and above all great food!

So, so sedap, well why not you just drool at the photos then, teeheehee, I'm gonna go have my lunch now!
