Famous Chicken Rice in Kedai Kopi Ban Huat Heng, Happy Mansion, Sect. 17 PJ

I have been a regular at this eatery for its chicken rice and roast meat. Easy to locate and easy parking. It is situated at a corner of a block at Happy Mansion and along the same row as My Elephant Thai restaurant. The owner and the people operating the chicken rice stall are very friendly.
I went there again on Sunday and the place was rather crowded already when I arrived. Fortunately, we found an empty table and seated ourselves. Our order was taken and soon the drinks and food arrived.  The specialty is their chili sauce and pounded ginger which gives the food extra 'Oomph!'
You will leave the place after your meal very satisfied.  They open for business early in the morning where they serve noodles. Their chicken curry noodles and Hor Fun soup are quite good too. They go on serving chicken rice from 11am until they are sold out. In the evenings, they open again for dinner also serving chicken rice. So you can have chicken rice all day and night. Below are some of the photos I managed to take of the food.

A new BLR eatery called MACHA

Just the other day, a few of us decided to go to Sunway Damansara in the locality of Kota Damansara. We intended to have brunch at a coffeeshop there for its curry noodles but while we were driving around looking for parking, we noticed a new eatery just opposite the coffeeshop. It caught our eye and immediately decided to give this place a try.
It was quite full when we entered the place but one of the polite staff ushered us to an empty table. A menu was given to us but we decided on having Banana Leaf Rice with add-ons. I must say the place was very clean with open concept air conditioning. Everyone including some tourists were seen enjoying their meal in comfort.

Service was fast and once the banana leaves were set, the waiter started serving the basic vegetables of the day followed by the curries of your choice. Then came our add-ons and drinks. We enjoyed our lunch very much. The food here is slightly on the higher side compared with most other BLR places but its cool and comfortable here.  For easy location, this place is situated opposite Kayu and Ho Chiaz (a chinese coffeeshop). This is one place I will definitely visit again.

Banana Leaf Rice at Restoran Jaya, Brickfields

I was introduced to this place by my friend Venoth and Nov Velan  who frequent all the best eating places in Brickfields.  There are so many good ones there to choose from. I went to Brickfields the other day with my relatives and since we were at Nu Sentral, we walked over there.

It was quite early when we arrived at Restoran Jaya and we could pick the table of our choice. The staff were very friendly and gave us very good service. There were so many tempting dishes on display and we decided to choose a few to go with our BLR.  The banana leaves were placed on our table and followed by the vegetarian accompaniments for the basic BLR. Then came the side dishes that we chose and also our drinks. The food looked so delicious and after taking a few photos which is a norm for me, we tucked into our rice. Here are some photos that I took.  There were some other dishes that we ordered but I couldn't take those photos as we were all very hungry and started digging in.  I will definitely be back again to sample all the other lovely dishes.

Gravy Baby and pies

I was introduced to this place in Taman Desa, Off Old Klang Road. I love pies and felt that I had to visit this place. It was a weekend and parking was easy in this area. Upon entering the premises, the owner Paul Elliot welcomed us and ushered us to an empty table and immediately, a waitress came to give us the menu and told us to take our time to decide on our order.
After placing our order, the owner Paul chatted with us and even took us on a tour of his kitchen. The kitchen staff were very efficient and everything went on like clockwork. We were very impressed with the place.  Our order was ready by then, and we proceeded to our table to tuck in.
We really enjoyed our pies and after our meal, Paul sat and chatted with us. This is one place I will definitely come again. Below are some of the photos I took at the restaurant.
