Astana Putra @ Serdang

A newly joined colleague wanted to treat us a meal, initially we thought of goin to the 'Acre by Farm Fresh' which is actually a farm with eatery place. Unfortunately there was not much choice to choose during the day as it only serves pizza.
But the view was breathtaking!
sort of like a 'resort farm' which charges entrance fee if one would like to go for sight-seeing and a tractor ride.
We didn't go in but instead changed our lunch spot to the nearby restaurant....
Maybe one day i could drop by again during the evening to watch the sunset and have a brief tour at the farm.
Meanwhile, we drove a short distance (from the 'farm') to Astana Putra, which is a restaurant serving local Malay food.
I had 'nasi kahwin' (RM15.90++) which seems to be a combination of 2 different types of rice (oily rice & tomato rice) that got 'kahwin' (married)๐Ÿ˜
Side dishes for the nasi kahwin include a grilled chicken leg, a small bowl of veggie curry, acar and sambal (in saucer).
Tastewise not bad, feels like eating at 'kenduri kahwin' (Malay wedding banquet), but of course the real kenduri would have more dishes than just grilled chicken leg.
Looking at the menu is quite 'entertaining' coz of the fancy dishes name.
They have items like 'Bapak Mertuaku' (Father-in-law), Kambing Kat Kubur (Goat at Grave) etc.
To those who are curious and want to try that, these are just chicken and lamb๐Ÿ˜€.
Ambience-wise OK, slightly better environment than the usual stuffy eatery place as is it open-air (with roof) and has good ventilation.
Free self-service plain water and titbits provided while waiting for the food too.
I would surely visit again to try out other items in the menu.
BON APPETIT!

Thanks for introducing this Astana Putra to us. Food looks good. This resort farm should be fun for children. I wonder has Stacy brought SE and JE here before. Would be fun. I would like to go one day when the weather is cooler.

Mun: 'Acre by Farm Fresh' and 'Astana Putra' are 2 different places (but nearby). So don't mistaken both yea. 'Acre by Farm Fresh' is quite new (i think it was opened early this year) so i don't think Stacy might have been here.

Ooh this farm is on my radar to bring the kids. Only recently noticed it.

Chinese going to pantang ordering 'kambing kat kubur' hehe.

Hahahaha, I know they are two different places. Wasn't mistaken at all cos in your post you described the two places very clearly as separate places. You wrote only got pizza to eat at the farm so you all went to astana Putra to eat. Very clear that they are two different places. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

The nasi dish looks good. Nice that can have two types of rice. I also find the names of the dishes very entertaining. Wonder how the Kambing Kat Kubur is like LOL!
