M'sian Restaurant in Louisville

Can you believe it? There's a Malaysian restaurant in Louisville!!!

Called August Moon. Opened by a guy who was born in Ipoh. Apparently it's been here since 1987 (20 years.. whoa...). And has quite good reviews.

So today my friends and I went to try it out. I already read the menu on the website so I knew it wasn't very authentic before going. *sigh* My optimistic hopes about it being like the Penang restaurant in Chicago all gone.

For appetizers, we tried the chicken satay. It was........ HAIH....... I don't feel like saying. It was...... it was....... disappointing. :'( Was quite bland loh. We each took one skewer.. had one bite.. looked at each other with the it's-not-nice-but-I-want-to-be-polite kind of look.. and then all of us said.. "erm.. did they forget to put flavoring?" First round: failed.

I had "Malaysian style beef curry" for my entree. Mm.. definitely not like chicken curry, and definitely not like beef rendang. Speaking of which, I miss beef rendang! But too lazy to cook. So this "curry" hor, it was....... it was...... quite nice loh! :) Even though it's not very authentic lah, but for Asian food, it was pretty good. My friends' choices were pretty good too. 2nd round: passed passed passed!

Actually, I took photos of our food, but I haven't uploaded them from my phone. Why? Cause I'm lazy, and I don't really know how to upload stuff from my phone yet. Haven't done it enough times to remember. Speaking of which, I haven't put songs into my phone! All those free memory sitting idly in my phone unused. So wasted. But ahhh, too lazy.

Erm, I don't remember if I said this before, and too lazy to check my old posts, so I'll just say it again. We've designated Thursday as Dinner Night. My friends and I will go to a different restaurant every Thursday. We take turns choosing one restaurant. So far, we've had Korean barbecue, Cantonese, Greek, pan-Asian, American, and Malaysian!

It's quite fun. 2 of them are my colleagues, the other 3 I met through one of my colleagues. Sometimes they invite other people too (I don't bring anyone since I don't know many people in Louisville). A chance for us to keep up with one another. Plus time passes so fast here that Thursday seems to arrive in no time at all.

Wonder what we'll eat next week....
