It was rainy day and just drove back from Penang, then out of idea of where to eat not until Ken suggest to bring my bro,his gf and me eat one of the best KL chicken tandori & nan which located at opposite Ampang Point directly at the junction of the flyover heading towards Kuala Lumpur. Uncle Arumugam’s Tandoori & Naan stall is one of the stall to be.

tandori (1)

Cannot deny that, this is really one of the hidden gem around the area that have such a great stalls. Ken rated this place as one of his top tandori stalls in KL. If from the main road, they are hidden behind a bushes and will pass through a row of shop houses that is closed during night. I park at the road side and walk in.

They are actually sharing an area with malay stalls next to it and their business is so good that one time they lbbq the tendori chicken is a few pieces at one go.

This guy is busy preparing all the nan.

When you said there is nothing to hunt in Kota Damansara is totally a lie. The F&B outlets are mushrooming like crazy in this area that makes The One Cafe into the list. The cafe definitely did grab my attention when I passed there couple of times until I visited this place only realise its a nice place to hang out.

This is the great chef behind the great menu. A guy specially hired all the way from Singapore to design its food.

Since now it’s the fever of MIGF, many of the restaurants out there preparing amazing food. The first restaurant I am heading too with the great menu would be Al Amar which is located at level 6 of Pavilion. This restaurant is definitely not my first visit as I used to bring my company client to dine here and also for our last visit, I did enjoy myself with good food and companion.

So lets head to the restaurant and see the first magic chef had prepared for this menu.

al amar (2)

We are quite surprise that, how much effort they have put in just for this event to promote on their food. Thick cover by placing a piece of its menu in it that looks elegant.

When I look at the price, I am quite surprise with its package which I thought totally reasonable, 5-7 dishes with wine pairing for a price of RM128 ++, certainly a  bargain.

In Penang, when comes to breakfast, there are a lot of places to choose from. One of the place that I have last visited was this very classic kopitiam, did came here when I was in college time but then did not manage to drag my ass up after that, since that this round I had become a early person, so I manage to drag my friend for breakfast at this place again.

For the very first thing in this coffee shop or consider signature stall for the coffee shop is the loh bak. It is now had become a family business with the dad as the deep fry person and the mom and daughter helping out.

Kheng Pin (4)

The ‘Loh Bak’ and ‘Heh Chi(prawn cake)’ is kinda irresistible. I always will order at least 3 each. Well deep fried yet the loh bak is very fragrance with its 5 spices yet the meat is solid yet the heh chi is fried till very crispy and inside of it hidden two prawns.

Kheng Pin (5)

Its even harder to resist when the loh bak or heh chi is dip in this very own starchy ‘Loh’ or the ‘Chili Sauce’. RM 3.90 for this

The ‘Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee)’ with its very burning hot soup base is something which I prefer yet the soup is aromatic with the prawn shell that had been cook for hours and added on more chili had make me enjoy every drop of it and I was sweating all over when I finish it. RM2.50

‘Wan Tan Mee’ in this shop is reasonably price at RM3 with the way the auntie adds on the ingredient. The noodle had been bath in hot and cold water for couple of times makes it the noodle quite springy.

For early morning breakfast, I must say, its quite satisfying with the loh bak stall highly recommended.

Got invited by Lucia to join dinner with her friends at SS 2. Did not know this place exist even used to stay at my aunts place nearby. I was so surprise with the crowd in this restaurant. So crowded and so pack of people. It is like, ‘Welcome, Only RM 15p/pax eat all you can’ that kind of crowd. I was already late 30 mins for the dinner and hell!!! to find a parking spot in the area is not easy. After round and round 2 rounds then round back in front of the restaurant and so ngam nice nice got 1 parking spot can fit in my small car. Lucky me~

This is Lucia and Malcom her friend which is always standby anytime and any where, with your camera ready to snap, they are ready instantly even they are still chatting. Lol. After snapping they are back to their conversation~ This is downstairs + outside of the restaurant.
We were gladly sitting upstairs with air conditioning.

Started of with ‘Salmon Lou Sang’. The salmon is so so, not that fresh yet not that hard to eat. With the sauce and everything pour in, it taste good, not too sweet for the sauce and salty and with some of the oil and spices, just ngam ngam. Nice lou sang. Did not put the after effect of the lou sang as it was too messy. Censored~

This dish don know called what as the order are all done by Malcom. When I was there, the food was like served instantly. Not much taste on this veggie. Can’t really taste the garlic also but the veggie is nicely fried.
This is the veggie with long beans fried with eggplant, mince meet and some tiny shrimps. It taste a bit spicy, but goes well along with the taste of sambal and the petai. The taste nicely covered the petai smell not that strong on it.
This is the Chicken in don know what, one of the famous dish in the restaurant as I did observe alot people ordered it. Was nicely cook, abit of sweet watermelon taste, the chicken is nicely cook and the mean is soft like steam and fried chicken.

This is their signature Taufu. It is very soft and the mince meet is a bit salty. Perfectly goes along with the taufu as it is nicely fried.

I must say that, this is the best dish of all night. The fish is nicely steam out, the meat is so soft and the fish is very fresh goes along very well with the gravy similar to soy sauce. Do not know what type of fish is this but it is very nice. Should try it out.

This is the ‘Pai Kuatcuz extra order it when i was there. The pork is very soft in it and the gravy is a bit sweet and sour.

This is the receipt for the whole course meal. The receipt comes in a total of RM198 shared among 8 people. The price is so so for the food they provide. The service is good as there are alot of worker standing by nearby. The dish name is in Chinese totally do not know how to read it. The whole experience was nice to meet you guys~
