Presint 16 food court — Restaurant in Putrajaya

The govt office workers fills up the place everyday on lunch hour, a testament to one of the best, cheap 'medan selera' among the Putrajaya's Presint. Its a haven for nasi campur/ Malay style masakan kampung. Theres also western food and mamaks. What sets it apart (almost all the Presints in Putrajaya have a 'medan selera' in or around its community center) other than the fabulous food is the public swimming pools, table tennis and squash courts and a civic hall quite famous for Malay wedding functions here.

From what I've seen theres nonstop wedding event every week. The table tennis and squash courts are next door in the same building.

The schoolchildrens pool right next to it is 0.9 meters deep. Only the toddlers pool is situated outside the fenced area,...

I enjoyed my visit to Medan Selera P16. It is a good place to find local foods, such as nasi lemak, mee goreng, rojak and more. The cokodok pisang (banana fritters) is really recommended. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a sweet banana flavor. The basement parking is really convenient as it provides shade during hot sunny days. However, there is no lift provided, so it might be difficult for people with mobility issues to access the food court. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try some delicious...

It's a small eating place with six stalls, five serving Malay food and one serves nasi kandar. Self service, food is reasonably priced and unpretentious. Friday to Sunday, there are about 10 stalls selling a variety of toys, casual wear and ready made biscuits and cake. Its main customers are the students from the secondary school just opposite and residents living nearby. Hygiene is average as only the mamak stall is rated A, others all rated B. I eat there as it's 5 minutes walk...
