Kopitiam Malaya — Restaurant in Pahang

As it was Chinese New Year Eve, it was surprisingly easy to get a parking space just meters from the shop. Entering the shop it was quite dark though decorated with memorablia. One thing I did not like was neither the wash basins were working.

About the food, we were surprised that the western dishes was better than the local dishes. Instead of regular chicken chop we ordered grilled chicken chop and chose mushroom sauce instead of black pepper sauce. The grilled chicken chop was really good, nicely marinated that I did not need the mushroom gravy. About that it is refreshing to find a white gravy which is a rare occasion indeed. The mushroom gravy was however put to good use as a dip for the chicken wrap as it was a little dry. The Char Kuey Teow was just ok but it was generously portioned and had a good number of prawns in it. For dessert the waffle with icecream was adequate as the waffle was bland and they were quite stingy with the honey. The big glob of ice cream was its saver though.

We also took away their chicken pop corn and though it was cold when we ate it, it was still satisfying to eat. Must be great when it is popping hot.

Overall it was a good visit though it could...

Foods are delicious, especially chicken chop with blackpepper sauce. I went here for many times and already tired with the behaviours of the staffs esp the boys. They think they're still young but they aren't! Acting like kids and NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL. They like to stare and tackle the girls and give their phone number to them. Other than that, they like to smoke near the restaurant, that causes the customers to be uncomfortable. The manager or owner gotta take actions to maintain customers' trust. Seems like funny, but it is not funny at all. The girls are not comfortable at all with those kind of behaviours. PSA : Don't bring your pretty girlfriend there or she'll be victim of them dirty...

Overall, the Tom Yam was quite sweet and lacks the sourness taste wow factor, still good lah that the chicken was soft and still nice. Mushroom soup with garlic bread tasted good. The fish n chip was not bad, quite filling actually. The toilet needs to go through the kitchen area which is quite hard to enter. The service was top notch and quite fast. My friend's spaghetti carbonara was not bad. Inside seating area was quite hot so had to sit abit outside but luckily it was raining so it was quite cooling at that time. Fyi, was disappointed that the kambing briyani was...
