Kampung Ali, Fountainbridge, Edinburgh

This restaurant has recently opened up not far from my work. Based on the lettering and colour schemes, I am hazarding a guess that it is the sister restaurant to Kampong Ah Lee down on Clerk St, by the university.

I have been curious to try it out and when we needed somewhere close by to eat before we went to the airport on Friday night I thought we'd give it a shot.. I'm pleased to say we weren't disappointed... We were there super early (5.45/6pm) so the staff were still eating when we walked in, but they showed us to a table and let us have a peruse of the menu...
 I had the original flavoured bubble tea!! Fairly authentic, tapioca could've been cooked a little tiny bit more but I'm just being picky! The mister had a mango one which was yummy too..
 We started with roti.. it was really yum.. hot off the stove and the curry sauce was good too.. I wanted more roti to dip in it.. or wish I had ordered a rice dish to pour it over... mmmmm
The mister had duck fried noodle.. the duck was a bit boney, tho to be expected..
It was well cooked and the noodles were well seasoned...
 I had the nasi goreng (?) with shrimp and chicken.. bit light on the protein but well spiced and I ate it all up in a hurry...
 There is still reminiscence of the previous Italian restaurant on the ceilings!!
Aside from the strange decor.. the service was good, polite but not overbearing.. the food was pretty reasonable for the price, we spent £25 in total for 3 drinks, 2 mains and a starter including a tiny tip..
All in all: I would definitely go back and might even get lunch from there one day this week!

 At lunchtime I had spotted these Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream 'Wiches at Tesco.. so we picked some up for dessert!!  The mister's never had an ice cream sandwich before!! Well only ones that used wafer rather than cookie... Not as good as the ones in NZ with the super doughy chocolate biscuit outside.. but not too bad...
 YUM!!


So there you have it.. our Friday night food outing!!

Well, it's now 7.20pm and I'm still sat at work... so I'm going to get going to meet the mister for dinner! I have a voucher that expires tomorrow (oops! I thought I had until the end of the month) and I called and they said I could have a table at 6pm or at 8pm, I said ok for 6, then rang the mister but he said he had to stay late at work, so I called back and changed it to 8pm... hence why I'm still at work at this time.. the cleaners have even come and gone!! :D

But lucky for you it means I had some time to write some posts!! Rather than my usual.. go home and veg on crackbook!!

Hope you all have a fantastic Monday evening!! Look out for a post in the near future about our dinner adventure tonight!!

Postcard Swap & Ice Cream!

So a while ago on one of my wanderings through FITBF posts I found Amber @ Soxial Buttafly and her postcard swap! I love mail... so I jumped right in! I sent her card away a couple of weeks ago and I've kept a keen eye on the mail ever since.. and today...
her postcard arrived!!

 She made it herself, which I think is so super sweet!
 I love the little elephant and her lovely message as well!!
I forgot to take a picture of my card that I sent to her, but if you head on over to this post, then you'll see my card! :) I wrote a bunch of Scottish phrases on the back..

The mister got ice creams on the way home from work... They are ones I've never tried before...  They are called FEAST (you gotta say it like Mr T would.. channel your inner Mr T..) oh and because I found my webcam... I decided to take some photos for y'all!

This is what the mister deals with EVERY day!! Welcome to my life!! :D

xx Caz I told you I like making funny faces right??
And that I'm just a little bit.. sh-pe-shial???


Happy Tuesday!!
