Chailan, Rock Cafe Food Court, Kota Damansara

Kota Damansara...
1 - JAM
2 - FOOD

Who doesn't know KD is JAM most of the time...
But ever since they change bit of the main road...
Least is NOT THAT BAD anymore...

However, the inner side of the Sunway Damansara (the shop lots) had been changed to ONE WAY STREET...
Not a good IDEA, seriously.

Ok, let's talk about food...
A friend of mine told me about a stall at the Rock Cafe Food Court selling "cheap" steamed fish...
As a fish lurver... of course I would want to go for a try...
She said RM10 for a steamed fish...
Good deal eh?

[caption id="attachment_1068" align="alignnone" width="225" caption="Signage"][/caption]
The stall name is Chailan...
Just at the corner, behind.

They have a bunting stand menu to choose your food...
And we choose ours.

Y.i.k.e.s!

Of course, pictures are ALWAYS for illustration only.

We ordered steamed ayam kampung...
From the picture, it looks like those Chicken Rice, CHICKEN....
However...

Yup, steamed chicken.
Taste it's just so-so, not much comment.

I so lurve to intro this dish...
Mushroom with Broccoli...
I got shocked when I saw the dish...
[caption id="attachment_1070" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Mushroom with Broccoli"][/caption]
Can you see... where is the broccoli?
HIAK!

I though of getting a pork dish...
And they have sweet and sour pork....
Why not to order it right?
Is it a pork or fish cakes?
[caption id="attachment_1071" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Sweet and Sour Pork"][/caption]
Taste was not bad, but I can't define is it a pork?!
Oh ya, 6 pieces only?

I guess the pleasant dish will be this one...
Steamed egg with lala...
[caption id="attachment_1072" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Steamed egg with lala"][/caption]
Even though that it has only 6 lalas in it, but the taste is not too bad, just salty.

Ah.. here's the fish!
Talapia fish...
[caption id="attachment_1073" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Steamed Talapia"][/caption]
For RM12 to get this dish, is well spent I guess...
Taste was ok too...

I can't really describe the taste as I was sort of disappointed?
But hey, it's cheap, can't ask too much right?

GULP IT!

$ - RM46

Price Range: RM 6 - RM 12
Good For : Cheap dishes meal
Bad For : Is really food court standard, want a good one - Go to proper restaurant!

Resto Tradisi Indonesia, E@Curve (Cineleisure)

Ok.. when comes to "rushing"....
Whatever food place in front, can just swallow it in...

Since the interior was not that bad....
We went in and have a seat (bench-table kind of look)

If you might remember, I'm totally not a big fan of Indonesian food...
But what the hack...right?

When I first sat on the table...
I saw this!
[caption id="attachment_1061" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Teh Botol"][/caption]
Right, not like I did try before....
Saw this "brand" when I was in Bandung....
*do miss the place sometimes.....*

Ok...
Menu...
Even though it still spell ABCDE...
I don't really understand the meaning of the items though... funny to read too!
[caption id="attachment_1063" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Menu"][/caption]
We just ordered something simple (which we could understand - they do have the description below the Indon's name)

My partner ordered the Soto Ayam...
[caption id="attachment_1064" align="alignnone" width="368" caption="Soto Ayam"][/caption]
Is not too bad....
Just the soup bit tasteless, even their sambal, can't kick off my taste bud for it.

Is quite nuts to order a catfish and rice.....
[caption id="attachment_1065" align="alignnone" width="368" caption="Catfish with rice (forgot the Indon name for this)"][/caption]
But hey, is the Indon's dishes....
The fish, frozen and straight deep fried (go figure)
The crackers .... have the OIL taste (don't know how to describe)
Tempe - totally not into this!

Basically, it can just fill up the tummy....
But not a good meal.

I thought of ordering their fishball - which I later got to know is 1pc RM2.50...
And the person in-charge said "Yes, is very expensive....."
1) If you know is expensive, why sell it?
2) If it's expensive, you don't need to make the tone of voice as if I CAN'T PAY FOR IT.

Trash it!

$ - RM23

Price Range : RM2.50 - GO COUNT THE BALLS!
Good For : Not even quick meal, as only got one guy who COOK!
Bad For : Price, Food, Service......

Restaurant Klang Bak Kut Teh Yip Yong, Kota Damansara

This shop was newly opened (I guess about 2 months?)
Located at Kota Damansara shop lots, with lots of other varieties of food..........
Since I lurve porky....
So we headed over to try out this BKT (as it's lot of people whenever we passed by)

[caption id="attachment_1053" align="alignnone" width="225" caption="Signage"][/caption]

They have simple menu...
Bak Kut Teh (soup/dry), Chicken with Chinese Wine, Vege, Braised Pork Trotter, Mushroom with Chicken Feet, Sesame oil with Tofu...
[caption id="attachment_1046" align="alignnone" width="225" caption="Menu"][/caption]

Something different here....
You can choose your own Chinese tea, and I do mean... choose...
They give you a basket of few packets of teas and you choose it.

Fill up the hot by yourself as well.... (so you won't get irritated if there's no one is free to entertain you to fill up the water!)

To have BKT..
You got to have chili padi (and garlic if you prefer...)
[caption id="attachment_1050" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="A Need (Rice, a lot of chili padi!)"][/caption]

Ok... we ordered....
Bo Lei Sang Choy a.k.a Lettuce Iceberg...
I nearly chocked....
[caption id="attachment_1052" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Lettuce Iceberg with Oyster Sauce"][/caption]
As a person who don't keen with sesame oil smell/taste (I don't mind to take it if the sesame oil aroma is covered with something else to prevent me from KNOWING the existent...)
This whole plate of vege.... was drown with the oil, pity.

We ordered BKT soup and dried (sorry I mis-out the picture of the dried)
[caption id="attachment_1051" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Bak Kut Teh (Soup)"][/caption]
The soup, tasted burnt... the dried, is just tasted like what I made at home before... (black sauce, dried chili, lil sugar, soya sauce and meat... you got one dish...)

Alright....
I don't enjoy this BKT (obviously....)
The taste... (well, different people different taste.....)
And this is not what I was expecting.

EAAAKKKK........

$ - RM 34.80

Price Range : RM 5 - RM 16
Good For : Mmmmm..........
