As a KL-ian, I've been to many food courts but I gotta say here is an eye opening place for me. I'm really impress with the amount of stalls and foods available in this food court. There are stalls that sell foods that can be found anywhere but many stalls provide unique foods that couldn't be found elsewhere. Like the CCF that I ordered, other than the ordinary cha siew & prawn stuffing, you can also choose to have bacon, tomato, corn... which is pretty creative.
Some of the popular stalls that I notice are nasi lemak pandan, popiah, yong tau foo, satay, nyonya kuih, and etc. Other food stalls include polo bun, ramen, da chao (fried rice/noodle), chicken wing, western, grill seafood, curry fish head, ice desserts like cendol, ABC.... too much. For first timer I really hard to decide what to try.
I ordered CCF with bacon for RM8 and add on cha siew for RM2 as the stalls are pretty busy every now and then. The cha siew is shredded on top but I was expecting it to mix inside the cheong fun. The dough is a little too thick but I'm amazed how soft & smooth the cheong fun is despite the thickness. The bacon is not much of taste but in overall it's not too salty even with the soy sauce so I quite like it. The satay is a little small for me but taste fine for the chicken. It's a little on the sweet side but it's good to eat as it is. The beef satay might be abit tender on certain part, but overall it's quite tough and not preferred. The satay sauce is a let down as it doesn't have the peanut flavor and doesn't taste matching with the satays. Rojak is decent. Yong tau foo is really ordinary except the one with fried sago. The kopi ais is disappointing as it doesn't has much coffee taste, just a plain over-sweet beverage. The price is overall is consider cheap for the size, except for satay which cost RM1.40 each but taste just okay. Bought some nyonya kuihs before leaving as the varieties looks really alot and pretty. The size of the kuih is big, thou I think the fragrance of the kuih is not really there and I prefer those kuihs to be more sweet. But the nyonya kuih is still a good delight food.
The food court contain many stalls that are side-by-side and the tables & chairs are quite near to each other so it can be quite pack when there are many people. Need to be there 6-7pm even on weekday before the crowds kick in on a later time and hard to...
Read moreWe visited at 6pm on a Wednesday and a fair few stalls were closed unfortunately, we visited again at 830pm on Thursday and a lot of the below stalls were closed but others had opened.
Highly recommend the Claypot chicken rice - fantastic crisp on bottom of rice! Be prepared for average service though.
Also highly recommend the Chee cheong fun . It was Hong Kong style, super slippery and fresh with ample sauce- so yum! Make sure to add egg to your choice of meat. Pork mince and egg was our choice. Closed on Thursday when we visited.
Roast pork on rice was also tasty with a smoky flavour and was tender and came with a free bowl of clear soup with chicken. Closed on Thursday when we visited.
Mango sticky rice was really yummy using white lotus mango variety and pandan sticky rice. Closed on Wednesday when we visited.
Super delightful kueh stall with light and spongy not-too-sweet Malay cake, and all the different kueh we tried were fresh and delicious including the peanut mochi. The smallholder was also very friendly and explained all the varieties to us. Closed on Thursday when we visited.
Also enjoyed the cendol but haven’t had much before so not sure of the quality for Malaysian tastebuds. This one had ample sugar syrup and coconut milk which I love.
Really enjoyed this food court and hope all the stalls are open when you go :) very local atmosphere, be prepared for stares if you look...
Read moreOpening in full swing approaching the dinner mark, the 2 longest lines belong to the Nasi Pandan and Bibi Popiah stalls.
The Nasi Pandan was not bad, but I expected a stronger pandan flavour. The sambal petai is solid but the crème de la crème (to my big surprise) belongs to the chicken curry. It is full flavoured, rich and tenderly cooked whilst still being moist on the inside, a difficult endeavour even for experienced Malay chefs.
The line at this stall is long because the aunty who serves you works mostly solo, and she plates your meal (or packet if you take away) with much attention to detail. Once she broke the yolk of the sunny-side-up fried egg and asked politely to the customer if he would want a replacement. Prices are a little high considering the location and portion, but if the chicken curry is consistently this good I believe it is definitely worth it (at least once a while).
Bibi Popiah is known for its inclusion of a (very) crunchy filling and serves a decently sized portion too. I myself prefer popiah with more warm sengkuang (jicama bean) but is still an enjoyable textural dish.
Both stalls do not have the Halal status but serve completely porkless. Bibi Popiah also has various...
