another moh makan! entry. that’s quite a few in a row already. i had the pleasure of attending the opening of rizkee sate and noodle cafe in manchester last night. it was a small affair yet the cafe was chock-a! i was going to write a little review but it will be a tad difficult to be impartial when the cafe is run by my cousin (i deserve a free bowl of banh pho bo every time i come over, eh sherry? kasi tambah noodle lebih sikit!). with that disclaimer, i will now go on. it’s a simple yet lovely cafe. simplicity is pretty much a recurring theme at rizkee. on entering the premises, there is a softly-lit waiting area overlooking the bar. we were immediately ushered to our table. the rizkee menu was predominantly made up of south east asian noodle dishes and sate. some of us went for the non-alcoholic aperitifs. nik and farah had pina colada and sangria mocktails whilst nadim went for the malaysia boleh!, a shaken (not stirred) concoction comprising fruit juices, a dash of grenadine and 1 egg yolk.

we had tauhu sumbat and popiah goreng to kick things off. for the main course, i went for the banh pho bo with a side serving of beef sate. i have to admit, much to my embarassment, that i’ve never had vietnamese beef noodles before.
