Chok Sifu — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Nestled in a quaint corner in the somewhat dilapidated neighbourhood mall called Endah Parade, Chok Sifu Restaurant beckons with an air of familiarity and a fresh, modern twist. Managed by the Chok family, this delightfully humble eatery has recently expanded its horizons, embracing a larger space that exudes a charming cafe vibe.

From the moment I stepped inside, I fell in love with the light and airy interiors, and large window panels that provided the perfect lighting for pictures during the day. The grey painted flooring set the stage for the tasteful contrast provided by stainless steel tables, adorned with an assortment of burnt orange plastic and corduroy cushions. This fusion of colors and textures brought an inviting warmth to the space, reminiscent of a retro cafe, while instilling a sense of novelty that embraced the present.

The true magic, however, lay in the gastronomic offerings that graced my table. Among the array of delectable options, two particular delights stood out - the Char Kuay Teow and the Curry Mee.

The Char Kuay Teow, a quintessential Malaysian favorite, was nothing short of exceptional. Wok-tossed to perfection, the flat rice noodles absorbed the smoky flavors of soy sauce, complemented with cockles, prawns and plump bean sprouts.

Second to that would be their Curry Mee - a bowl of comforting goodness that reminded me of my grandmother's Curry Mee. The rich, fragrant broth was infused with a generous blend of spices that enveloped the succulent chicken pieces, served with a medley of vegetables.

No visit to Chok Sifu Restaurant would be complete without savoring their old-school oriental style Coffee. This velvety elixir delivers a robust kick that was somewhat addictive. Beyond the down-to-earth flavours, the hospitality at Chok Sifu Restaurant was heartwarming. The Chok family's warm smiles and genuine passion for their craft made the dining experience feel like a cherished gathering among...

Located inside Endah Parade, it serves usual food you will find in Kopitiams like Stir Fry/Dai Chao, Chicken Rice, Curry Noodle, Wantan Noodle, Rice Dishes, etc. Nothing specially out of the ordinary other than the lavish Signature Curry Noodle. Just heads up its pricing is Cafe level due to the environment so if you are going for value eats, this may not be the place for you.

Atmosphere: 4.25 🌟 Good place to hang out as the restaurant is big, air conditioned/cooling and big spaces between tables. There are also outside seats (but still within the mall) which is an option if it's too cold for you. The chairs are light weight (plastic) and so if you are a big person, there are side seats options for you. There are also high table seat options as well. There's no very classy design but things seem neat and clean here.

Food: Wantan Noodle 3.25 🌟 Honestly there is no fault in this dish other than the portion to size ratio. If you are a normal/big eater, you might need to add a second noodle as it has only 1 noodle enough for usually girls only. Roast Pork and Cha Siu are quite good, I'm sure I had the worst ones in Kopitiams with common problems like too dry, not crispy, not flavourful, etc. The Wantan is bigger than usual Kopitiam almost similar to the Hong Kong style big Wantan. I think the sauce is good and quite flavourful. The soup is okay, not too peppery and too much mag. Priced at Rm 13.90+

Drinks: Iced Tea Just a comment on an observation, the ice is like 70% of the cup after I finish drinking at the end of the meal 😅....

Moved down from the first floor. Half cafe with another half like a restaurant with large round tables. The chairs slip and slide across the painted floor. Yikes. Main offerings are chicken rice, soup noodles, and Chinese dishes. The Wat Tan Hor is flavourful, but I found it to be strangely lukewarm. Kopi was also so-so. Large seating area, inside and Mall-side. So weird to see them selling durian inside...
