Let's Talk the F Word!

Greetings!

Perhaps the best thing about being a Malaysian is the fact that FOOD is always (and we mean 24/7 ALWAYS) available for us. Regardless of good or bad taste, we cannot doubt food awaits our humble presence anywhere and anytime of the day in this sweet country. As food is crucially essential in our daily lives, we present to you our picks for this week!


Breakfast – Key Hiong Dim Sum @ Taman Megah













     Armed with six grumbling tummies, we charged right into this restaurant immediately after our first class ended. Their service was excellent. The workers there did not hesitate to find us a table and grab us a few extra chairs the minute we stepped into the shop. Trays of delicious-looking Chinese delicacies greeted us as we were seated. It was as though they knew a gang of hungry bears were about to attack their site. (Just so you know, we're not implying here that we look like bears. Figurative speech is what we talk best. We'll be in the wrong course if we weren't doing Mass Communication!)

Moreover, the shopkeeper was really friendly. He was the only reason we managed to snap these mouth-watering photos.


     On the other hand, the food served was averagely good with reasonable pricing. There is nothing extraordinary about the quality of food. However, the place is kept clean, making it a typical Chinese place to hang out with fellow friends to catch up over a cup of tea. Literally.

Note: Key Hiong Dim Sum has been operating for more than 19 years (and still counting!). It opens 6am-9pm on weekdays and 6am-3pm on weekends. For more information, call 03-7804 6912.


Lunch- Restoran Choy Kee @ Damansara Jaya


     This place ought to ring some bells in the name of KDU College. Admittedly, we're only fans of this place because of its convenience during breaks between classes. For that, we feel it's a courtesy to review our favourite hangout spot.

     Choy Kee Restaurant has a variety of food ranging from stalls that sell Chicken Rice, Pan Mee, Wan Ton Mee, Mix Rice, Fried Koay Teow, and many more. There is even a fruit stall located just outside the restaurant if you opt for something healthier.


     The prices for most of food served here are reasonable except for the mixed rice. The picture above on the top left can illustrate this clearly. With only three dishes and rice, this plate costed one of us RM5. Thus, we normally go for the Pan Mee which only costs us RM4.

     Being loyal customers of Choy Kee, we reckon' this place should consider giving special discounts to employees and students of KDU College!


Dinner – Bazaar Ramadhan @ Taman Tun Dr. Ismail

     What better way to join in the festive season than to be at a Ramadhan Bazaar? Be warned though, you can forget about that diet of yours if you happen to drop by here. This place cooks enough to feed an army! We kid you not!
 
     Only a few seconds in the bazaar and barbequed chicken wings were the first to catch our attention. RM1 per piece!! The price must have been in conjunction with our "One Malaysia" theme this year.


     The bright red "ayam percik" is another sight not to be missed. Impaled on what look like lantern sticks to us, these chickens will make you go back there for more!

     Honestly, it was a 2-hour eye-opening experience for us. A fantastic experience if we must say so ourselves.



     A little reminder, do come about 4pm to avoid the human traffic jam. Plus, you might want to bring a lot of tissues. Our sweat glands were practically over-producing by the time we left.

Because there were just too many food and a picture can speak of a thousand words, be prepared to..





FEAST YOUR EYES ON THESE!














 







 

We rate this place with a superb F! In our terms, it's for F A N T A S T I C!


Supper – Al-Safa @ Bandar Sri Damansara

Calling all Petaling Jaya dwellers, you’ve got to know this mamak!!!

     Did you know that AL – Safa has more than four franchises in Petaling Jaya? Talk about being successful in the food industry, even mamak is making a “food statement” these days.


     Avid mamak-goers should know that mamak food can be terribly inconsistent! One day, the food may taste awesome but the next day, it's just horrible! Through our experience, we find this mamak is not only consistent in their food quality but also in their service. Maybe this is what makes Al-Safa more prominent compared to the other mamak stalls.

      Not everything offered there is extremely good but you must try their tosai telur and their ayam goreng peha (fried chicken) It's really good! Worth ordering another plate!




Until our next forking session,

The F Crew

PS: Have a great week ahead (losing those extra kilos).
