saba(r) itu separuh daripada lamb kabsah... muahahaha...

last saturday i had the chance to visit cyberjaya for the.. heh.. first time. seriously. if it wasn't because of termimpi-mimpikan lamb kabsah from saba restaurant, mesti takkan jejak tanah cyberjaya tu. ahahahaaa..

the first time i tasted the lamb kabsah was 2 sundays ago. masa tu kitorang nak distribute my sis#2 punya wedding card to my mom's relative, so bila sampai kat rumah my cousin tu (kat taman permata), her mom suggested saba restaurant kat jelatek branch for lunch. and since then (sebab makan tak puas since orang belanja kan.. takkan nak cakap tak cukup kot) the succulent lamb kabsah was on my mind day and nite and knowing incek suami suka lamb, so, that saturday noon, i dragged him there, together with lil zaes and mister mama.

walaupon sesat-sesat cari saba restaurant kat cyberjaya, finally jumpa jugak. and owh, since first time kat cyberjaya, maka gua telah menjadi jakun melihat architecture kat situ.. boleh tak, this one office building, architecture nya sama macam resort percutian? wah.. mesti less stress sesiapa yang bekerja di situ..

sampai kat saba, we were surprised to see the lambakan manusia yang memenuhi ruang saba restaurant. they were in a midst of renovation, i guess tu yang customers ada kat ceruk tu, ada kat ceruk ni. berbeza dengan branch jelatek, which was more proper and organised and cozier ambience too, the one in cyberjaya resembles a mamak place. the 1st 5 minutes memang takde tempat duduk kat dalam (kat luar panas terik tu yang tok se tu..) sampai the waiter tu suruh duduk kat tepi pintu stor (boleh?) tapi berkat kesabaran lamb kabsah, finally dapat gak a table.

mula-mula dapat menu, muka b macam apayangbestsangatmakanankatsini. so i took the menu and ordered one large lamb kabsah + rice, the taboulah (salad-like dish) and the hummus (mashed chick-peas makan dengan thin pita bread). and when the food arrived (perasaan masih teruja sebab ingat b pon akan turut sama teruja) we shared the rice (4 of us) and the lamb was.. aaaahhh!! ooh la laaa! juicy and succulent and lembut and smackelicious! tapi, bila tengok muka b, tak excited sangat sebab he's not too fond of nasi beriyani actually. (tapi tu bukan beriyani la b, it's nasi arab..) cuma he likes the lamb je. tapi dia memang puas hati la sebab for that 1 large lamb kabsah, share 4 orang, memang jimat and worth it. owh.. besides lamb, they also served chicken. and the nasi pon ada 2 types, one is the kabsah, meat was tender and almost fall off the bone soft. another one, hanith. yang hanith ni, the lamb or chicken was wrapped in foil and looked like roasted-type. like i said, LOOKED like roasted tapi tak tau la kan.. we didn't order pon and lupa pulak nak tanya the difference between these 2.. (note to self: jangan lupa tanya difference kepada terma kabsah dan hanith bila pergi sana sekali lagi.. sekali lagi?? bilakah?) the kabsah priced at rm15 for regular size and rm20 for the large size while the hanith price at rm17 (r) and rm22 for large size. the hummus at rm5, tabulah at rm7 and the barbican rm3.

and because of too excited nak belasah the lamb kabsah and the steamy soft arab rice, i didn't take the pics of the food sangat.. sila keciwa..

miya & jai makan sampai lebam.. itupon still have some portion of the rice. lamb dorang habiskan sampai licin as both of them are lamb lovers.

all and all, 2 thumbs up for the food! i forgive the ambience (sebab masih kelam kabut buat renovation maybe?) and i hope the quality stays. sila consider a branch kat putra heights ok?
