It's funny how I live in a multiethnic country yet for the first time I came across a dining establishment that had a good representation of all three major ethnic cuisines. My dinner at Rumahku Gallery & Cafe was an interesting one.
I particularly liked the simple decor of the refurbished bungalow. As cliche as it may seem, the batik covered tables in the Malay room , the marble tables with runners in the Chinese room and the brass bells in the Indian room actually seemed to be an interesting theme.
It was a pity that the 2 of us who were dining were rather small eaters, as some of the items being served looked scrumptious - we'd probably need to get back in a bigger group to savour more items. The 2 of us ordered a serving of gado-gado, sizzling noodles and a plate of indian fried rice.
The gado-gado (RM 8) was nice - the peanut sauce was good , although I'd have to admit to prefer a slightly spicier version. The noodles and fried rice were all right - well done but not spectacular. The Claypot Prawns is said to be highly recommended , I guess I'd have to return to have it another time.
Apart from the nice decor, brisk service and the friendliness of the helpful staff definitely gains Rumahku brownie points. I'd suggest this place for a nice place to unwind with friends after work or for a peaceful Sunday lunch. The bill came up to RM25 for two people with drinks - very reasonable I'd have to say.
