Nam Chau @ Sunway Nexis, Kota Damansara

-
 I am constantly searching for new places to eat around Kota Damansara area. Places that serves good food that can fill me up but in a price that will not burn a hole in my pocket. Eating in KD can be a bit tricky as the food here can sometimes be overpriced. 

 Located in Sunway Nexis, Nam Chau is no stranger to all the kopitiam kaki(s) in Ipoh. So if you're having a sudden crave for some white coffee, you don't have to go all the way to Ipoh to have them now!As an "Ipoh Mali" kaki, I had to find out whether does the food here tastes as good and authentic as the one in Ipoh. By the way... I didn't took any pictures of the restaurant :(
I had to try their Ipoh Hor Fun (RM9.90) which arrived less than 5 minutes. The hor fun was silky smooth that it was hard to grip with my chopsticks (a good thing though). I enjoyed the soup a lot that I drank till the last drop! It was sweet and as you can see, there's also the prawn flavoured oil on the surface of the soup. Quite legit lah. Prawns were really juicy and sweet too.
Tried their Dry Curry Mee (RM12.90) the week after as I've heard that Nam Chau's serves the best dry curry mee in Ipoh! The gravy was at the right consistency, not too thick or watery and packed with strong curry spices! I find it a bit salty on my first few bites but not anymore after that. I normally don't eat yellow mee but this time it was exceptional as it goes really well with the curry. However, the char siu was a tad bit dry. It would've score a 10/10 if they also paid close attention to the other ingredients and not just the curry.
Not sure whether was I really hungry or was it really good that I wanted more!
No meal here is complete without having some Ipoh White Coffee (Cold:RM4.30). It was a good cup of white coffee especially in KL, with it being not too sweet and a presence of slight bitter aftertaste. I prefer this than the one I had at Kong Heng Kopitiam in Ipoh which was too sweet for my liking.

OVERALL VERDICT

FOOD: 7/10

PRICE: 7/10 (Although they are basically kopitiam food, you do pay for a more comfortable and air-conditioned surrounding)

WOULD I RETURN?: Yes! An affordable place for good food in Kota Damansara.

Is Eating Suki-Ya As A Vegetarian Worth It?

-

EAT WHAT LEH?  Last month, my friend and I went to Suki-ya for lunch. As you know, the best part about Shabu-Shabu is the free flow of meats. We planned this in January, before I went on my meat-less diet. I didn't want to cancel the lunch as it was my treat for my friend's birthday and we had been waiting for it for months. As the days got nearer to our lunch date, I thought to myself "What exactly am I going to eat? Will it still be worth the money if I don't eat the meats?". We went there on a Friday afternoon and it was really crowded and if not mistaken, there weren't any empty tables. I did called a week before to make reservations but they said that they only allow walk-ins now.      If you're unfamiliar with Suki-Ya, it is a Japanese restaurant. They have ala carte dishes but people mainly go for their all you can eat buffet. There's the buffet bar that has a good selection of items for your hot pots, a variety of sushi, dippin

Newly Opened Starbucks Reserve @ Four Seasons Place, KLCC!

Another Starbucks Reserve has recently opened in Kuala Lumpur and this time it is at Four Seasons Place. I'm not a regular at Starbucks so I didn't know that Starbucks Reserve was already around. Seeing that I was just nearby, I thought I would drop by to take a look and see how it differs from the ordinary Starbucks outlets. They kept the interior minimal and only has a statement decoration which is the lighting fixtures, that gives the whole space a modern yet sophisticated look. Below, is the coffee making space for the reserved bean's drinks. Right across is the normal ordering counter, cake displays, merchandise etc. I love this part of the cafe the most. Really love the dark grey walls that is decorated with copper decorations. I talked to one of the barista there and she told me that the ones that will be brewing the "Reserve" drinks are actual coffee masters. Pick the type of beans you want and the brewing method! They also hav

EAT WHAT LEH?   I've recently started becoming a vegetarian (literally 6 days ago) and no, it's not because of religious reasons. I'm not sure how long will I be vegetarian for but I would definitely try to stick to it as long as I can. Becoming a vegetarian is not a problem for me because I personally don't really fancy meats. The only problem is when it comes to eating outside. I had been on the internet so much recently, searching for vegetarian restaurants near me and I managed to come across few blogposts that really did helped a lot! This is also one of the reason why I am starting a blog. To help people to search for places to eat! So if you found this post, Ola! Allyna to the rescue! smirks    I went for a casting at The Vertical (opposite Bangsar South) and decided to go for a quick lunch as there were around 10 people before me. There were many restaurants at Bangsar South but now that I'm a vegetarian, I thought why not give Beyond Veggie a try
