Today I'm out with Meva trying to get some things from PB. We were both hungry when it suddenly started pouring. Our closest restaurant was Kim Pou & so we decided not to look any further.
This must be my 1st visit here after more than a decade. This is a classic & a place I didn't mind visiting.
We stepped inside this huge dining room which hasn't changed much in the last decade. We sat down & had a look at the menu.
Finally we went with a Kimpou Special Feast which had a clear soup, Rice, 3non veg items, a veg gravy & salad. Since there was only 1 soup we also decided to get a bowl of Khu Thong Soup, something we both have never tried.
The food started to come after 15mins. The Khu Thong Soup came 1st. It was pinkish in color thanks to the red rice powder added to it. It had chicken & a soothing amount of ginger. This was the best clear soups I've had. Definitely a good start. The Kimpou Special Feast came in a big thali with a bowl of chicken clear soup. The soup was good but couldn't match up to the Khu Thong. The rice was fried rice quality & ok. The veg was good. The 2 pcs of chicken chilli gravy was good but nothing great. The 2 pcs of Pork chilli dry was better. It had more concentrated flavors. The chicken drumstick was nicely fried but when I took a bite I got a hint of Indian masalas. Not something expected. The special feast was ok. I finished it off with a cup of Chinese Green Tea.
Kimpou has many good dishes in its menu, the special feast isn't their strongest. I would definitely recommend the soup though.

Read moreWhile me and my friend came from shopping we decided to have something to eat and we end up at Kim pou bcos my fren recommended to have Malaysian chow but when we were there we saw that all the seats were taken so we had to wait outside for a while but later we went in and just ordered our food to be packed. While we were waiting I became so thirsty that I asked for a glass of water from one of the waiters but he ignored and then asked the 2nd he said ok but never came to give me a glass of water and I asked the 3rd waiter he was carrying glasses for the eaters on the table but he too didn't bother. I felt so insulted by their attitude. We didn't just ask water for free as we are also paying customers but this is the difference they made. I don't understand what's the difference between a customer sitting on a seat and a customer waiting for takeaway?! All the waiters in this restaurants are hypocrites. They have no sense of being polite and hospitable. Before I always recommended people to eat here but now I'll do the opposite. Good luck with...
