Nasi Kandar Salam @ Damansara Perdana

This is my first time reviewing a so called 'Mamak Restaurant', if you are Malaysian and PJ-rang, I am sure you will know the most famous restaurant like Kayu Nasi Kandar or Syed. There are lots of Mamak stall or restaurant around KL or PJ and it always crowded, why? Because it was always the best place for youngster to hang-out and is reasonably affordable or  it suppose to be cheap when I was a kid. I seldom go for a meal in Mamak restaurant if I have a choice because I am not a Nasi  Kandar fans or I find their food is quite oily... (Scare fat lor)

If you seriously looking for dinner at Damansara Perdana on Sunday night, I will wish you good luck which most of the shop is close and the variety is very limited if you reach there after 8pm. Both me and my husband was attract by the newly open Nasi Kandar Salam which newly open with the big signboard which I don't think anyone will miss it. There are not much crowded when I reach around 8pm and we are easily get a sit and I saw they even giving free WiFi, this is definitely a hangout place.

Soup Kambing - RM6.50

Whenever I went to a Mamak restaurant or stall, the first question I would ask if they offer mutton soup. It always been my favorite since when I was kid. Some of the place did not serve the bread with the soup but this one does. It reminds me of the mutton soup I had during my Penang trip. 

Soup Kambing or Mutton Soup

Well, I really enjoy the soup which the spice and the mutton is so tender. The soup is really thick and creamy but luckily is not salty. It really one of the best so far I had since I move to Petaling Jaya area. Also, I have to agree, it do taste nice to dip the bread inside the soup.  

Nasi Goreng Kambing - RM8.00

Mutton or Kambing in Bahasa Malaysia, which had always been our favorite. My husband order this fried rice with mutton and can said it didn't look very presentable but the taste is superb. The most surprise me was the mutton is so tender and it didn't taste hard or dry. The fried rice might be slightly expensive for a dinner however, it had become our recommended dish where I seriously think it taste better than others Mamak Restaurant in PJ.  

Roti Telur Bawang - RM2.20

Since I never expected the mutton soup come with the bread therefore, I had order my usual Roti Telur Bawang or is a type of Prata with egg and onion. I usually had this or Roti Canai for my breakfast during my younger days which really make me fat as today. LOL~ if you ask me the to rate this Prata, I would say nothing special and it didn't even up to my standard, therefore, I will skip this for my next visit.

As for drink, I had Limau Ais/Lime with ice and my husband having his usual Teh Tarik, which both our drinks come to RM3.00. The total cost of the meal is RM20.90 inclusive of GST at RM1.20. Overall, the place had a good ambiance and there are more people hang-out at this place after 9pm either for supper or hang-out till late, since this restaurant is operating 24 hours.

Shogun2u Delivery @ Klang Valley

If you all remember my visit to Saisaki Japanese Buffet recently, and I did mentions about this Shogun2u delivery. I have to admit that I try the delivery is due to the 50% off promotion during the Raya months for both main course and sushi. Let see, first - how to order? I went to their website @ www.shogun2u.com

Next, as usual - login by entering both your id and password. After login in, please select your City and Area. Then you may start to choose what you desire. Since the promotion last month is 50% off for both mains and sushi, so here is what I had ordered;

Fried Bun (3 pcs) - FREE

 Overall the food taste quite nice and this is my second time order, even though my first time order is disaster which the food arrive after 4 hours but the second time is only late by 15 mins due to the rains. I got the fried bun for FREE due to the my previous order came super late and the bun taste super nice like the chicken Char Siew bun that put in deep fried with the crunchy skin.

I enjoy the chicken Teriyaki and Sushi and as for the Yakiniku beef is nice as well, all the main course serve with 2 slice of pickle and vegetable with the thousand island source. The total for the 2 main course and a pack of sushi is RM52.70 and after 50% discount so the final figure is RM26.35 nett (inclusive GST).

Boat Noodle @ Empire Damansara, Damansara Perdana

Boat Noodle again?

Haha~ I know, another Thai food again. If you all remember that recently, I did visit a similar restaurant at Kota Damansara, Aroi Thai Boat Noodle. Actually, I had been to this Boat Noodle house in Empire Damasara for few times but yet I never review it.

This Boat Noodle restaurant is located at Empire Damansara, if you familiar with Damansara Perdana this wouldn't be something new to you, however, it actually located before the LHDN or next to the new hotel Qliq. Anyway, the best way is to find it >>> google map lor~ Sorry, as I am not good in giving direction.

The Entrance and Menu

Now, let see what I had;

Ka Num Toay - RM1.00/set of 2 pcs

I love this dessert so much, and they serve this dish first may be is an appetizer? Well, who care, since I always can't wait to try. This dish remind me of Kuih Talam, if you had this pandan and coconut kuih before trust me is the same in term of taste >> Sweet~

Beef/Chicken Pathumthani/Ayutthaya Rice Noodle - RM1.90 each bowl

Well, please don't ask me which noodle is which flavour now. I am also got confused, but I do believe the one with the sheered meat is chicken and the one without should be beef.  Hahaha~ well, I do love the unique taste of both flavour, either beef of chicken did not make any different for me. I do enjoy the mini serving and please don't deceive by the picture, the real serving is really small.

Order Guide

I, myself had 3 bowl for minimum. So can you guess how small is the serving? 

Grilled Beef Meat Ball - RM5.90/set of 2 stick

The beef meat ball do taste like the one grill in Thailand, I think the sauce do make a trick of it as well. the spiciness which blend with the sweet taste really make one craving for more. It had somehow, become my favourite now. I should have try the chicken meat ball next.

Ice Blended Thai Green Tea - RM8.90

As for the drinks, I settle wit the Ice Blended Thai Green Tea. Well, first it didn't taste like green tea but it delicious, the sweetness and the smooth of the ice blended which make the drink close to perfect. Even though is quite expensive for the drinks but I still think is worth to try. Since how often do we seen anywhere serve Thai Green Tea? 

Interior of the restaurant

Even though the place is quite small and crowded but they did a good job is their interior. It do give a retro feeling to the customer. Overall, the experience is not bad and I did go back from time to time. As for the final bill, me and my sister had total of 6 bowl of rice noodle @ RM1.90 each and others as shown above, the bill come to sub-total of RM27.20 and RM30.30 inclusive of 5% service charge and 6% GST. Still affordable right? 

Wun Nam Restaurant @ Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya

I come across this restaurant in one fine day, which I am sick and went to see doctor nearby. I pass by this place several time but never notice that is a restaurant here in Jalan PJU 8/5B, Damansara Perdana. Therefore, I told myself that I would like to try after I recover, so here I am on Friday night for dinner.

I was quite surprise they have quite a crowd for dinner. The restaurant is quite cozy and we manage to get a seat once entered the restaurant. The price in the menu is quite reasonable but some of the fish and seafood is not written any price, well, I guess is normal where they will follow market price. Since only both me and my husband dining therefore, simple dishes is just nice for us.

Claypot Fried Kangkung  - RM12.72 

Their signature dishes, fried water spinach in claypot. The staff highly recommend this dishes as a must and I saw most of the table also order it therefore, we decided to try as well. The water spinach is very crunchy and it not that old like I expected.  

Sweet and Sour Pork - RM16.96

The sweet and sour pork is just common and I think the pork is slightly overcook which make it slightly hard eat. If you ask me, I might not order this dishes again.

Old Cucumber Soup -  RM10.60

Lastly, we had the old cucumber soup, and this one is very nice. May be I am a soup person and I like the rich flavour of the soup and it do taste like double boil soup even though it written there steam soup. There are few variety of soup, and mostly it finish if you reach there late.

For drink, I ordered Chinese ice tea, RM0.53 and Herbal Tea, RM1.59 for my husband. Besides, we also have 2 rice at RM1.59 each. All the price above is inclusive of GST and the bill come to RM45.60 include of GST. So far the food and the price is still acceptable, however my revisit to the place recently which we ordered a fish which already cost us almost RM60.00 plus. 

If you around Damansara Perdana and don't know where to have your meal, especially with a family, friends or guest. I would suggest you may want to try this cozy restaurant. 

Overall, the food is quite a standard and the price is still affordable for me. The next door of the restaurant is selling wine, I wonder if we can have the wine and dine in there as well. Hahahaha~

Cheers~

HARAJU CUBE @ Empire Damansara, Damansara Perdana

I love ice-cream~

Have you ever wonder instead of having mushroom soup inside the bread but ice-cream in a square box bread?! Well, I come across this shop last weekend at the Heritage Lane, at Empire Damansara.

At first, we are wonder why there are such a long queue of youngster in front of the cafe, so we took a peek and realise the cafe is having break from 6pm till 7pm but the queue for the cafe is getting longer. Out of curiosity we join the queue and then I just realise most of the people in the queue is youngster age around 16 till 23 years old. You might not believe but let see...

The view from the 2nd Floor

The shop is located at the first floor which directly above Texas Chicken or Boat Noodle in Empire Damansara. To my surprise, I wonder how people can find this cafe which is not so appearing and I haven't even come across any of their advertisement. As you can see from the picture, people are queuing for the shop re-open at 7pm. 

Interior inside the cafe

We manage to get our seat after half an hour queue. With the hot and humid weather outside, I am glad that I am finally inside. Which is worst, I got bitten by the mosquito while queuing since is getting darker outside. You will be given a number to get seated, and you have to walk to cashier to order and pay at the same time. Didn't manage to get a snap of their menu, since the place is small and crowded at the same time.

                                      Haraju-Milk                     Haraju-Bomb RM32.90

                              Butterscotch RM8.90

First let talk about the Milk which in butterscotch flavor, the only thing I can describe is smooth, creamy and sweet. Also, the butter cookie, isn't it perfect in every way already? The waiting time for the bread ice-cream is around 10 to 15 minutes. I had mine in 10 minutes may be because I was there earlier to order and as you can see I choose Macha ice-cream. Trust me, in the picture you might think this is just a dessert but let me tell you, the bottom of the ice-cream is another 8 pieces of thick bread which might make you full. Most of the table are sharing, and some of them can't even finish and definitely we don't eat the square hard crush bread which is super hard, may be that why it can hold so much filling inside. Besides, they provide free self re-fill of drinking water which located near the entrance.    

The sign on the cutting board

Overall, the place is nice to hangout and now I understand why the place attract so many youngster. 1st: because once the food is serve - take pic, 2nd: even the place is small but cozy, 3rd: may be free flow cold drinking water? Hahahaha~ I might go back again to try their single toast but is better to go with bigger crowd, so we can share the food and cost too. Btw, this cafe have no GST ^ ^
