Farewell Trooper

2007-07-13T07:21:00.000-07:00

It's a sad sad day for the gang, as the official lunch transport has been sold. The yellow Ford Ranger Splash made it's debut some 9 years ago, and has been Yuri's loyal companion through many adventures, even sending aid to the flood victims in Johor.

Well, here's to you lanun darat ! May you live on... errr.. apparently at a construction site..

Pak Su - Kuantan

2007-07-08T23:52:00.000-07:00

Location : Kuantan.. err, from town head for the pelabuhan, and by the coast, you'll hit it.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : I don't think so, unless you're a transformer jet !

Decor/Ambience : It's a typical by the beach type restaurant, no walls. There's a line of acquariums where you get to choose the fish, prawns & crabs that you like.

Food : The speciality here is the white pepper claypot crabs. We had some local crabs, and it was pretty good. The sauce was, well, peppery ! The other speciality was the fried tang hoon, or glass noodles. Some of the guys have had similar in KL and said Pak Su's is.. 'ok'.

We also had some prawns (fresh, steamed... nothing to shout about) and deep fried aubergines. Now, this was special. They kinda melt in your mouth. The coating was a powdery, sweet and salty.. very interesting. Worth trying out a small portion if you're here.

Price : KL prices..

Return Trip ? : Yeah, when we're back in Kuantan for some seafood...

Nasi Lemak Zaman - Kuantan

2007-07-05T10:00:00.000-07:00

Location : When you're in next in Kuantan, head for the airport. Across the dual carriage way, you'll find a large corner lot shop which says 'Zaman'

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : It's in bloody Kuantan man ! But worth a stop.

Decor/Ambience : Regular stall type restaurant, nice and clean

Food : The speciality here is the hot hot nasi lemak. Cooked fresh and put inside the the banana leaf. Good ? Oh yeah !! The rice is very fragrant and they dont hold back on the santan. Cheaper coconuts in the east coast I guess. The sambal is pretty good too.

Price : Cant remember, but reasonably cheap. Hei, this is Kuantan afterall.

Return Trip ? : MOST DEFINITELY !

Nasi Ayam Kampung

2007-05-23T14:00:00.000-07:00

Location : I don't know where this is ! Rizal directed us here, but it'sin town somewhere, near the cycling race track.. Cheras direction but not as far.. Anyway, it's apparently another branch as the ayam kampung shop in Kampung Baru.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : I guess, if Rizal shows the way again !

Decor/Ambience : Pretty cool, coz it's all al fresco ala KL, meaning big square plastic umbrellas. The success of the place has forced it to take over pretty much all the area outside the food court. Which is fine because it's then not so hot and crowded, even though there's lots of people.

Food : Can't go wrong here, simply deep fried ayam kampung, with an array of Kelantanese dishes to choose from. Personally, to really enjoy it is to have the sambal and some ulam and some gravy.. and that's it. Heaven !

Price : To be honest, cant recall.. but it's the usual up to RM10 per plate depending on what you slap on your plate.

Return Trip ? : Well, the food is as good as the one in Kampung Baru, but if we feel like a different view, then yeah !

Nasi Ayam Kampung

2007-05-03T13:00:00.000-07:00

Location : Kampung Baru, foodcourt on Lorong Raja Muda, next to the stadium.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Oh yeah.. but parking is something else tho.

Decor/Ambience : Just a bunch of tables thrown together. Getting to the food's a bit of a chore because you'll have to queue up at the rather small shop. If the weather's hot, can be a little uncomfortable, but hei, that's a small price to pay for the great food.

Food : Deep fried ayam kampung, with a host of kelantanese dishes. The ulam and sambal is a must. The daging dinding is no push over either. To be honest, all the dishes are good even if you dont get the fried ayam kampung. A little tip... grab the fried chicken from inside the kitchen. They're freshly fried !

Price : Depends on what you taroh on your plate, not more than RM10 I reckon.

Return Trip ? : Many many many times..

Beriani Gam Johor

2007-04-16T07:59:00.000-07:00

The boys have discovered a better place for Biryani GAM than the usual Putrajaya one. It's tastier and cheaper !

Location : Restoran Anje is located in... errr.. OK, you take the Seremban Highway, and exit at UPM. Then head back north towards the Beryl's chocolate factory. On the right, before the factory is a row of sho houses... taraaa !

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Yeah, if you drive fast enough on the highway.
Decor/Ambience : Not much to write home about. A regular clean kopi tiam stylee restaurant.
Food : Ahhhhh... it makes you thankful you're not a vegetarian. The lamb is pure class. Thick, slighty sweet, fragrant, spicy and not too oily. The chicken's pretty good too, but I always have my GAM's with lamb. The rice is good too, not too heavy.

Price : Wow, much cheaper than Putrajaya GAM. In fact, as far as biryani's go, RM6 with a drink is no contest !
Return Trip ? : Once my arteries have cleared up a bit, I'd clog it with this GAM immediately.

Some stall in PD

2007-04-14T04:59:00.000-07:00

Public Bank Food Court - KL

2007-01-31T06:49:00.000-08:00

A few people have mentioned this place and a few more have actually been. So, we decided to give it a shot today.

Location : The Public Bank main tower across from KLCC. Just get onto the car park lifts and get to the fourth floor.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Yup... on foot too ! There's about 10 stalls there and its a mix of Malay, Chinese and Indian food.

Decor/Ambience : It's open air, no walls I mean, so, I guess you'll be gambling with the weather. It was pretty breezy when we were there.

Food : Well, it was a bit of a mix. Some had pretty decent stuff, whilst others had mediocre fare. I had rice with some dishes at one of the malay stalls and the beef was actually pretty good. The murtabak looked a bit 'reheated'... maybe breakfast left overs ! You can also order the 'goreng' syuff like mee goreng, and maggi goreng etc.

Price : Standard for a food court I guess, RM5 to RM8 for rice with a few dishes

Return Trip ? : Nah, no real reason to.

Restoran Puteri - TTDI

2007-01-25T06:48:00.000-08:00

We had a company organised lunch at Restoran Puteri. In all honesty, not many of us have heard the name of this restaurant before.

Location : If you come from Penchala Link and exit at Taman Tun Dr Ismail, you will come across this restaurant to your left, on a hill slope. It is next to a luxury car showroom.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Well, yes... if the roads are clear heading out of KL. It's a buffet style retaurant so, no service waiting required.

Decor/Ambience : Very nice. It's a stand alone building that looks a little like a minangkabau house... a bit. It has two floors with sitting on the outside too.

Food : Malay food, buffet. There's actually not that many dishes, about 10 in all. But they are all cooked 'home style' and is very good. The ulams were fresh and the sambals were very good. I believe they change the dishes day to day. When we were there there was daging chilli (like dinding), pucuk masak lemak, gulai ayam. and a bunch of others

Price : RM28 per head.. all you can eat.

Return Trip ? : Possibly, if we're in this side of town.

House of Biryani - Bangi

2007-01-18T06:47:00.000-08:00

If in Bangi, then pop over to this interesting Biryani place called House of Biryani. The gang had a client meeting near Bangi and we decided to go over and check this place out... a competitor to the famous Biryani GAM Putrajay I was told.

Location : Behind the Pasaraya Warta in Bangi, there's a new'ish block of shops. You'll be able to find this one pretty easily.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Nope, the drive to Bangi takes about 30mins on an empty highway. Service was pretty cool. All you have to do is queue up and choose the type of Biryani and the dish to go with it, either beef, chicken or lamb.

Decor/Ambience : Very clean, bright and airy. What's interesting is the fact that you have to take your shoes off to eat here. I guess with everyone shuffling around in their socks, they don't need to clean the floors either !

Food : On the shop banner, it says Arab, Afghanistan & Iran. I'm not sure what that meant.. either they have shops there, or the biryani recipe is from there. But anyway, the biryani came out pretty good. The rice was very 'granular' and fragrant. The lamb was fantastic. The gravy was very thick and 'spicy' but not hot. The chicken too was very well cooked. This is serious 'afternoon nap inducing' stuff !!

Price : It was about 10RM per head. Very reasonable for the rather big serving.

Return Trip ? : Definitely !

..and the feasting continues..

Eka Shogi - Wisma Central

2007-01-17T06:46:00.000-08:00

Eka Shogi ? Yeah, I was wondering what it meant too.. but never mind, all you need to know is that the Soto and Nasi Ayam here is darn good.

Location : Ground floor of Wisma Central. From the main entrance, walk straight pass the main stairs and it's on your right.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Yup. Service was pretty fast too, you just pop into the shop and order the Soto or Nasi Ayam which are at the back of the shop. Otherwise, grab a plate of rice and slap on the dishes.

Decor/Ambience : There are seats inside and outside the shop. Inside is a little stuffy, so, opt to sit outside. Clean.

Food : The soto ayam can be ordered with either mee, bee hoon and/or nasi impit. We all orderd the 'full' version and got all three. You also have to order the bergedil. The soup for the soto was very good. This is apparently an original Indonesian recipe. It's darker than the Malaysian soto, and slightly sweet. It comes with some sambal which was also excellent.

The nasi ayam was also pretty good. It's the 'malay' style where the chicken is covered in a sauce. There's also

There's also other dishes that you can eat with rice. We didn't try them though, but they looked good.

Price : A cheap eat. RM5 for the soto and a drink. Same goes for the nasi ayam.

Return Trip ? : When time for Soto ?... YES !

House of Fishball - DU

2007-01-13T06:44:00.000-08:00

Felt like something lite today, so, went to the newly opened House of Fishball, at the uptown shops in Damansara Utama. A big banner boasts the restaurant (or chain of restaurant) as being the original 60's Teow Chew Fishball..

Location : Damansara Utama shop lots at Uptown area.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Well, KLCC to DU can be a 20 min drive.. fast. Once there, the food was pretty snappy. Oh, parking's a nightmare here at lunch time, so, need to park at the opposite open space parking lot.

Decor/Ambience : Clean. Bright too, like a car showroom. Nice sturdy kopi tiam tables and stools. Pretty functional I guess, but hei, you come here more for the food than anything else.

Food : They've got lots of soupy noodles and yong tau fu type stuff. The special is the Homeland Mee (pic above). Apparently freshly made noodles, cooked with some minced chicken. It was pretty good. We also ordered the Curry Mee and some Kueh Teow Soup with some additional fishballs, taufu, bittergaud and chilly.

The curry mee was pretty good. Not too spicey but a pleasant curry flavour. Of course it comes with the extra sambal and lime to give it that extra kick if you wish. The soup was pretty good too. Not too salty or 'ajinomoto'ish as some places tend to be. I have to say the fish ball was good.. admitedly not a fish ball connoisseur, but I know a good fish ball when I eat one ! It tasted fresh, with a nice springy texture. The sliced fish cake was similarly 'uplifting' !

Price : Under RM10 per head.. and about RM1 to 70sen per extra stuff.

Return Trip ? : Yes, but a little tough to get to the DU branch at lunch time. I was told there's a slightly closer branch in PJ.

Uncle Ho's - Avenue K

2007-01-12T06:43:00.000-08:00

A short walk through the underpass from KLCC brought us to Uncle Ho's Foodcourt at the basement of Avenue K.

Location : Basement of Avenue K

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Yup

Decor/Ambience : Standard foodcourt... stalls all around, and lots of people over lunch time.

Food : The guys bought from four different stall...

Unagi Ramen... it's the japo noodle soup with some deep fried fish. Walter said the soup was not good, not enough, and the deep fried fish was like rubber.

Nasi Dagang.. this is a KL version of the east coast special. Having said that, it's a beef version and tastes just OK.

Pan Mee... this stall has the longest queue in the foodcourt, and the Pan Mee is pretty good.

Lemon Chicken - Chicken Rice. A twist to the usual Nasi Ayam. The lemon sauce is ok, but the rice was surprisingly good.

Price : under RM10 per head with drinks.

Return Trip ? : Most probably. It is conveniently located and the variety is pretty good. There's a total of about 10 stalls.

Ikan Bakar Pak Din - Tangling

2007-01-11T06:41:00.000-08:00

After the Bellamy fiasco.. it's time to find a 'real' ikan bakar. Thanks to Boo_licious of masak-masak fame, she recommended this place on Jalan Cendarasari.

Location : Tanglin Foodcourt, just before Methodist Girls School in KL.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Well, depending on traffic it's about a 15min drive from KLCC. There's ample parking space which is great. The ordering system can be a little chaotic though. You queue up for the rice and veggie and other dishes at the stall inside the foodcourt. The ikan bakar itself is ordered at the outside. You can either wait there and pick it up, or ask them to send it over.

Decor/Ambience : Obviously this place is popular because they've setup seats with umbrellas outside the foodcourt proper. We were lucky that the day was overcast, so it was nice and cool. I suspect it can get pretty hot on a sunny day.

Food : The fish (kembong, terubok or pari) are actually barbequed on charcoal, not the hot plate style. This adds to the flavour. The cooked fish is then covered in an asam sauce which was very good.

The terubok and pari was fresh and tasty. Even the humble kembong was very good, with the slightly charred flavour and the asam sauce.

Price : under RM10 per head... of course depends on how much fish you ordered.

Return Trip ? : A big yes... and thanks again to boo_licious !

..what's for lunch tomorrow ?

Location : xxx

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : xxx

Decor/Ambience : xxx

Food : xxx

Price : xxx

Return Trip ? : xxx

Noodle Soup - Wisma Central

2007-01-05T06:41:00.000-08:00

Our usual ayam kampung after friday prayers was foiled today because it was closed. So, took a short walk to Wisma Central for some noodles.

Location : Up the main stairs and to the left in Wisma Central

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Yeah...

Decor/Ambience : Just an open shop/stall with round plastic tables and chairs.

Food : I had the Lam mee and Yuri had the mushroom noodles. Pretty good.

Price : RM5.80 with drinks.

Return Trip ? : Probably...

Ikan Bakar - Jalan Bellamy

2007-01-04T06:39:00.000-08:00

We've been talking about this one for awhile and decided to finally take a drive to Jalan Bellamy.

Location : At the end of Jalan Bellamy, behind the Istana, there's about four shops side by side selling ikan bakar. We went to the last one.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : The drive only takes about 10 minutes, but waiting for the fish and other seafood to cook can take awhile. There's generally a lot of people here and they just grab whatever comes off the grill plate.

Decor/Ambience : Hot, smokey and stuffy. Due to all the grilling, your clothes are going to smell ! On a hot day, the few fans scattered at the place is just not enough. It's crowded too unless you go early (before 12noon).

Food : They basically grill fish (pari, terubuk, kembong) or cuttle fish on the hot plate. All marinated in some chilli type sauce. You get the rice from another queue, then queue again for the fish. There's also two types of dipping sauce, a sambal and a soya sauce based one.

The Terubok was ok, but the pari (stingray) was a major disappointment. It was not fresh and had a funny smell. We took two pieces and the second one was equally bad. Infact, we mentioned it to the waitress, and she just took it off our table and chucked it without much of a fuss. Obviously it's happened before ! Makes you wonder.

Price : Depending on how much seafood you take off the grill, but on average not more than RM20 per head.

Return Trip ? : NO !! We've sworn never to come back here and will find some other place for ikan bakar. This place is popular purely out of reputation. If they keep serving these type of smelly fish, that reputation's going to change pretty soon. Although you wouldn't have guessed judging by the crowd that still goes there.

Chi Chi's Nasi Lemak - TTDI

2007-01-02T06:37:00.000-08:00

Went to the TTDI park this morning with the kiddies. After a short walk around, decided to stop by my good friend's nasi lemak stall.

It's across the second park entrance and my main man sells the nasi lemak bungkus, bee hoon, sandwiches, chicken broth and the regular nasi lemak with either rendang ayam, daging or cuttle fish. The sambal (the heart of all nasi lemak) is pretty good. I'm not biased !

Maju Garuda - Chow Kit

2006-12-28T06:32:00.000-08:00

Woohooo... let's go padang again. We had Natrabu before and this time Yuri said let's go to an alternative. So, off to Kampung Baru we went.

Location : It's on the same road towards the Chow Kit Market if you come from Kg Baru.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Yup. You help yourself to the dishes, so, no serving time required, apart for the drinks.

Decor/Ambience : Nice and clean, and lots of fans around, so, pretty cool even under the KL sun.

Food : Gorgeous. Just absolutely gorgeous. There were so many different types of gulai's, and fried chicken and meats and veggies and fresh selection of ulam's. All authentic Indonesian style I was assured. I had the Daging Dinding which was thin and crispy. There was kampung chicken either plain fried or with chilli. There's masak lemak gulai dishes that had various 'meats' in them like beef, tripe, chicken etc.

It was very very difficult to not spoon all the available dishes on our plates. They all looked and smelled soooo good. One of the specials is Ayam Pop which you need to order. It comes with this hot soya sauce dip which was superb.

Price : I was actually expecting cheaper, but each type of dish costs around RM4 to RM6. So, I had a plate with a bunch of stuff that came to RM20. The others ranged from RM8 to RM16 per head.

Return Trip ? : A big YES. A little pricey but well worth it.

Yong Tau Foo - Ampang

2006-12-27T06:31:00.000-08:00

According to Yuri this place has been here since he was a boy... and is the original Ampang Yong Tau Fu.

Location : On MRR2 near Ampang side.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Yes. From the Ampang Elevated Highway, take the next exit after Setiawangsa. It's about 50m after that on the left. The orders come pretty fast for either the fried or boiled goodies.

Decor/Ambience : Your typical wall-less zink-roofed restaurant by the roadside. It's big, and pretty clean. Plastic chairs and those round tables. Open kitchen style too so you can see all the action as it happens.

Food : The food was nice and fresh. The soup was not overly 'ajinomoto'ed. the bileds stuff was great and the fried stuff was, well, good too. I wasn't overly thrilled with the black dipping sauce, I guess because I was more accustomed to something sweeter. Apart from that, very good. We had some herbal drinks too which helped chase the food down.

Price : 70sen per piece, and the pieces were larger than the other yong tau foo's that I;ve had. So, pretty good. We came away with about RM10 per head.

Return Trip ? : Yup, but not before trying som eother places first.

Tupai Tupai - KL

2006-12-26T06:29:00.000-08:00

This restaurant's been around for several years and the food has been consistently good. Most of the gang was in the office today (plus extras) so, made a quick call to dash over there for lunch. The roads were pretty good today too due to lots of people taking the week off.

Location : Near Dewan Bahasa, towards the Palace.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Yeah, if the road's not too busy. Service depends on how many people's at the queue.

Decor/Ambience : Cool... literally. The restaurants motto is 'Suasana Rimba... di Kuala Lumpur'. And it works too. The restaurant has no walls and built from wood with very high ceilings. The fan and watered roof keeps the whole place very cool and breezy. You wouldn't think you're in KL. Interesting fact: all the beams used to construct the restaurant came from old TNB power poles. Talk about re-cycling !

Food : Oh man, where do I start.... you can order Chinese food if you like (which I have been told was darn respectable), but the main attraction is the spread of Malay dishes. They have all the gulais and masak lemaks and currys and asam pedases etc. There's also ikan bakar of various kinds, and daging bakar as well. And typical of a good Malay restaurant, you get lots of ulam and sambal and tempoyak and cencalok and even budu ! I had the pucuk paku masak cili with some daging dinding today and it was perfect.

Price : Depending on what you order, this should not set you back more than RM10 per head. Which is great value! Of course, if you load up several plates with dishes (and believe me, it's very tempting to do) it'll cost you a bit more.

Oh, and let me not forget their other speciality, the botok botok which is a bit like otak otak but bigger, green, and has half a small fish in it.

Return Trip ? : Definitely. There's such a wide variety that you won't be eating anything twice even after 10 trips.

...happy squirrels..

Kafe Biryani Gam Putrajaya

2006-12-21T06:27:00.000-08:00

Apologies to the rest of the gang, especially Rizal, but I had a meeting in Bangi near UNITEN. Right after, it was a 10 minute drive to the Biryani GAM shop and it was a chance I just couldn't pass.

Location : It's near UNITEN in Bangi. You can see it off the highway, but need to go to the UNITEN entrance to get to it.

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Errr... nope. This requires a mini road trip. It takes about 30 minutes from KLCC, on Seremban highway then exit Kajang and head towards Putrajaya.

Service depends on how many people are in the queue. Like a self service cafe. You then choose the type of biryani you want from the large cooking pots.

Decor/Ambience : Like a big stall with zink roof and functional tables and chairs. People are here for the GAM and not so much decor. Would still come if it was decorated like a rubbish tip.

Food : Ahhhhh... what's a Biryani GAM you may ask. Well.. it's a recipe from Johor and it starts life in one big cooking pot :

The rice is cooked in here wrapped in some cloth.. why ?

..because if you move it aside, underneath the rice is where the meat is cooked. So, it's all in one pot and the gorgeous juices from the meats are absorbed in the rice.

This is the pot for the Chicken Biryani GAM, with the sack of rice above it removed... yum !

..and here is the finished product, served with some crackers and achar. You can also buy some optional achar buah which is great too.

The full menu of biryani that they have : Biryani GAM Herba Kambing, Biryani GAM Herba Ayam, Biryani GAM Herba Lembu, Biryani GAM Herba Rusa, Biryani GAM Herba Kambing Kampung, Ayam Kerutup, Ayam Merah, Daging Opor, Kambing Kasturi & Kambing Kuzi. The speciality of the house is the Biryani GAM Herba Kambing. A must try.

Price : This place ain't cheap. About RM20 per head with drinks. About RM10 for additional meat dish.

Return Trip ? : Oh yeah.... but it's not something you can have every week.

Actually, here's the FINISHED product.. ha ha ha :-)

Nandos - everywhere

2006-12-20T06:26:00.000-08:00

OK, not very creative for lunch today and ended up at Nandos. No need for introductions on this one !

Location : We went to the branch in KLCC, but you get these all over the place

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Obviously yes if you get to your nearest one. The orders were pretty fast too, came in about 15mins.

Decor/Ambience : If you don't know, where have you been dude ?

Food : We ordered the whole spread this time :

In pita bread...

..in a burger..

..salad..

..quarter chicken..

..and if you're hungry, the half chicken !

Price : about RM20 with a drink.

Return Trip ? : I guess... but not so soon.

2006-12-18T06:24:00.000-08:00

HTML Source EditorWord wrap

A short walk away from KLCC you'll find Wisma Central. Within it there are plenty of restaurants (which are more stall like!) with a great variety of types. One of our regulars is the Ikan Bakar Portugis..

Location : Ikan Bakar Portugis @ Wisma Central

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Walking distance, and the food is served within 15 minutes.

Decor/Ambience : A little stuffy at times, and cramped... but the whole eating floor is like that. A good working crowd from the nearby offices, so, you will be rubbing shoulders with Ralph Lauren work shirts and Coach handbags. Smoking allowed too.

Food : You have a selection of Pari, Sotong or Fish. All grilled in tin foil over the hot plate with their special sambal. The sambal's chilliness varies.. sometimes hotter than usual.. but either way, I love it. Yuri had the Terriyaki chicken today and is passable. Served with sambal too, of course

Price : under RM10 per head with dirnks !

Return Trip ? : All the time.

Kijai:

The sambal is excellent... and patrons can actually have a combo serving... my fav is the sotong + ikan pari.. good food, cheap and nice place to have a quick lunch... plus you can order from other stalls as well!!

2006-12-15T06:14:00.000-08:00

OK, only half the gang was around for this impromptu lunch trip to RSGC. It's a members only club but you can come in as a guest. Lunch was at the Terrace and it was the usual club fare.

Location : Royal Selangor Golf Club, off Jalan Tun Razak

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Rather easily. Location is in town, and the order came pretty fast... if you catch the waiters.

Decor/Ambience : It's a golf course club house, of a very old club. So, it has that old feel to it, and a cool view of the course. Seats outside on the terrace or inside the aircond section.

Food : The Ngai Lam Mee (spelling?) or beef brisket noodle was superb. The soup is very peppery and tasty. The mee mamak looked pretty good but I didn't try any. Similarly, the Cantonee style Kueh Teow was a mean little number too. What's famous here too is the steam chicken rice, but we didn't have that

Price : under RM15 per head with a double sugar cane !

Return Trip ? : Of course... with the rest of the gang too.

Natrabu - Kampung Baru

2006-12-07T00:30:00.000-08:00

Birth of the makan SIG, special Interest group... or as Dennis would like to call it the Lunch CoP (Community of Practice). I'd actually term it as CoG - Community of Gluttony !Anyway, the five founding members Rizal, Khairul, Yuri, Dennis and Me have decided to formalise our lunch time missions. Starting with Natrabu.

Location : Kampung Baru ( I guess Yuri can give the GPS coordinates here !)

Can make it within an hour ? (travel + service) : Yes, it's rather at the heart of town and the food came pretty fast.

Decor/Ambience : Nice and clean. Not very 'Javanese', but they have a pelamin there for some reason... maybe the food will move you to get married on the spot.

Food : We had two types of chicken, a gulai and fried, ikan asam pedas, Daging dinding, the green sambal, some veggie and dessert was errr, cant remember, is like ABC. Well, the daging dinding was great. Thinly sliced and crispy. The fried chicken was nice with the sambal. The fish was average. Dessert was like ABC on sterroids... very good.

Price : about RM25 per head

Return Trip ? : Yes
