House Rice Bowl, 17.90 ringgit I must say, this is one eatery that provides you with plenty of gravy when you order a rice bowl. For some reason, lots of eateries like serving them rice bowls dry, with as little gravy as possible. Why, why, why? This rice bowl came with boneless chicken thigh, poached egg, pickled cucumber and vegetables with plenty of sweet, ketchup-py gravy. It was yummy – simple yet delicious.
Their Housemade Sourdough Toast (RM 3) is one of the must try here. It had the expected mild sour taste but the texture was not too hard for mastication. When it paired with their housemade coconut spread, the chemistry worked perfectly and this simple local staple became an enjoyment. We also opted to have sea salt butter that added some briny taste. Though the entire add up become a staggering RM 7 for a piece of toast but it was meant for once a while experience.
Braised Pork Belly (RM30) The pork glaze was really robust yet elegant that didn't overcome the pork belly but meld together with the pork belly like how a harmonious orchestra with a single conductor directing it! The poached egg brought out the creamy texture to the potatoes that was baked with the pork belly fat and it was really moist yet hearty alongside with the egg that brought a creamy mouthfeel.. It was an amazing plate of protein that really reflects the ingenuity of the chef to meld both Malaysian and western influences to create such an amazing dish that brought delight to our hearts in every bite of that decandent pork belly dish!
Pretty good food.
The meat was very tasty. I underscored very.
Verdict: Food was above average and I certainly don’t mind make a revisit to try out other dishes in the menu.
Verdict: This place indeed ideal for a casual meal for its reasonable price and portion. I wouldn’t mind returning to try out other variations.
Claypot Prawn Rice is one of the top sellers at this restaurant. Being a dish that is rare to find, they prepare this in a unique method so much so, even the base paste is different to the Chicken Rice. Be sure to thoroughly mixed it up before consuming. Otherwise, the paste would be unevenly distributed and you wouldn't be able to enjoy the dish. The shrimps used are quite large and they were fresh and juicy. The taste of the rice is so unique that you would not have tasted anything similar to this. A must try dish at this restaurant. May seem a little pricey but it's totally worth it. My rating for this shall be 10/10.
I just love the raw onions, giving Busy Corner's claypot chicken rice (RM6.50 for a small serving, RM12 for large) an added oomph! My fave order is the original (with or without the salted fish, depending on my mood); there're lots more variety to choose from - black pepper, red bean sauce and Thai. One can also choose to have black pepper steak rice or prawn instead of chicken.
I tasted the laksa broth first. I did not register anything. It was very diluted and mild. None of the spice aroma that I remembered from the past. In other words, it was flat. Oh dear.
Overall, we were really pleased with our meal here. No complaints about the Three Layer Tea (RM4.90) as well. While we still prefer Aunt Christina’s Laksa (tastier broth, superior prawns, and we like the generous use of coriander), Lin Li Xiang’s offering is still one of the better ones we ate in PJ.
Nasi Lemak with deep fried mackerel at MYR 12.20+ (6% SST, MYR 12.95 nett) with a free drink. The fish is salty but still acceptable and tasty.
Kopi Time Brand of Cafes were among the first pioneers, setting up its first humble outlet in Atria, bringing the Malaysian community together in one place to enjoy true Malaysian street food. Kopi
Just when you thought there couldn’t be more Kopitiams, new ones are coming up every now and then. It could only mean one thing, yum cha is Malaysians’ favorite past time, and Kopitiam business is still a growing business in Malaysia. Some of my friends like to yum cha a lot, and they go Kopitiam …
Verdict: The Pork Varuval was delicious but did not mind blowing, probably because this wasn’t my first time trying pork cooked in spices laden method (think Pork Rendang or Pork Curry).
My order: Mackerel nasi lemak set with a glass of barley drink with no sugar at MYR 13.55 nett. The piece of mackerel at this branch is smaller than what I get from the branch in Atria Mall.
BBQ Squid They're so tender , Calamari is the Italian word for squid , Mild-tasting calamari is best when it's impeccably fresh . The squid is roasted plain and served with an exciting sauce .
