Teriyaki & Tiffin @ Wishbone - Jalan Gaya


This was our first visit to the newly refurbished Wishbone, best described in it's latest incarnation, as an 'Art Cafe' I suppose. The main dining area is now upstairs and the decor is young, fun and funky with art works adorning the walls, it definitely has a street art vibe to it.


The food is also a little different here too, there's some familiar items available but with a few twists and tweaks. I decided on the Dabba Tingkat Minced Beef Ball Set. The meal arrived in a tingkat or a tiffin as I like to call them, and comprised of nasi putih, garlic pucuk manis and two braised beef balls in an onion and tomato based broth. All in all the meal was very tasty especially the beef balls in their sweet, savoury broth and I quite liked the tiffin touch. I just thought the price tag was a little too steep as everything was fine and tasty but nothing was really special.



The Little Nibbler opted for the Teriyaki Style Rice Burger, a Japanese inspired chicken burger with sweet potato fries. The Nibbler was less impressed with this meal, although the chicken burger patty itself was pretty tasty, the rice 'bun' element didn't really hold together, maybe a more glutinous sticky rice is needed. The sweet potato fries, which sounds like a great idea, were rather strange, as they were coated in some kind of sweet sugar coating, definitely not to our taste, I'm sure just regular fried sweet potato would work much better with just a sprinkling of salt.


For drinks I ordered the Teh Tarik and a Kitchai Ping for The Nibbler.

Wishbone is located along Jalan Gaya on the same block as Bomber's Burger. As a lover of graffitti and street art I really like the outside of the building, as well as the stencil work inside. I believe that there's going to be guest artworks showing inside too.

I really like the interior of Wishbone, I actually think it would work really well as a small bar.



The Bill : 1x Dabba Tingkat, 1x Teriyaki Burger, 1x Teh Tarik, 1x Kitchai Ping = 40.55 MYR

Although the food didn't quite excite us as we hoped there's a lot of good to be said for the new Wishbone.

Nasi Ayam & Snacks @ Wishbone - Jalan Gaya


I wasn't feeling too hungry this evening so I opted for snacks while The Nibbler enjoyed Wishbone's Nasi Ayam. No complaints here, everything was nice and tasty, or so I was told, I'll just have to come back and try for myself sometime soon!



Now these are no ordinary Curry Puffs, oh no! These are Giant Curry Puffs and wow were they good! Chicken curry, potatoes, and a slice of egg come inside these whoppers.


I also tried their Pisang Goreng with Gula Malacca Ice Cream (did I say I wasn't hungry?) They were ok nothing special but I did like the deep caramel flavoured ice cream.


Cold refreshing ice blended Mango drinks.


Wishbone is a bright, clean restaurant located along Jalan Gaya open in the daytime as well as in the evening.


The Bill :

Lots of dishes to tempt during all hours of the day and evening too!
