Nasi Lemak and Nasi Bojari at Madam Kwan’s at Mid Valley
A friend from overseas made a recent trip to Kuala Lumpur and thinking of where to take him for our local cuisine whilst not overwhelming him straight away with the local street fare, Madam Kwan’s came into mind. Now established with several outlets across the Klang Valley, Madam Kwan’s serves up delectable local and international delights. On this night, we had local cuisine in mind.
Let’s start things off with the Nasi Bojari. This is their signature dish which is also found in Indonesia. The serving is decent and the coloured rice is complimented by assam prawns and shredded beef rendang or chicken rendang, both yummy. You also get a nice crispy fried chicken to go along with the meal. If you are spoilt for choice, then we would recommend you try this.
Now with the nasi lemak. Another must-try while you are here. As you can see, it is just oozing with flavoursome curry and it sure does settle in your stomach well. This make for a good meal whether it is for lunch or for dinner.

Nasi Lemak at Village Park Restaurant in Damansara Uptown
Thinking of a place to have a wholesome meal of nasi lemak or some place to take first time visitors to Malaysia. Then this is an introduction to a favourite dish amongst many Malaysians, Nasi Lemak.
Traditionally, Nasi Lemak is wrapped in banana leaf. Inside you would find small dried anchovies, roasted peanuts, half of a hard boiled egg and hot spicy sambal. To make the meal even more filling, it is usually accompanied with either chicken, cuttlefish or even beef rendang as shown below. The rendang was nice and tender and with the coconut rice, it made for the perfect lunch (plus the added fried egg to top things off, of course).

West 57th Street Cafe, Zang Toi, Pavillion, Kuala Lumpur
We recently got invited to West 57th Street Cafe on one faithful Saturday. We arrived at Parkson Pavillion around noon, our stomachs rumbling prepared for the meal that we were to eat.
Kopibar, Centrepoint, Bandar Utama
KopiBar Centrepoint
For an easy and simple lunch today, we decided to go to Kopi Bar in Centrepoint. As the name goes, Kopi Bar is a kopitiam cum bar serving both the usual kopitiam fare and also alcohol.
Interior of Kopi Bar
The deco of the place is simple with a little ‘waterfall’ ( an overflowing giant chinese pot) in the middle of the cafe. I guess it symbolizes the overflowing of good luck in chinese.
Our orders that day were:-
Nasi Lemak RM8.00
Hainanese Chicken Rice RM6.50
Rosebuds with mixed fruit juice RM6.90
Hainanese Chicken Rice
This place is famous for their Hainanese Chicken Rice, which is priced at a very reasonable price based on the portions you get. Plus, there’s an ongoing promotion where you can add on a plate of beansprouts to go with your chicken rice for only RM1. Its really worth it.The chicken was very tender. You can request for the chicken thigh or breast and no extra charge, unlike the coffee shops outside.
Nasi Lemak
The other dish was Nasi Lemak which came in a very big plate. The piece of fried chicken was quite big, but on the even bigger plate it came on, it looked small. The nasi lemak was alright and the portions was generous.
Rosebuds and mixed juice tea
We ended the meal sipping on hot tea. The rosebuds and mixed juice tea is one of my favourites. I love rosebud tea, the rosebuds gives it that extra fragance. We ordered the tea hot which came in a big pot enough for 2 people to share. But you can try ordering it cold as well, cause its really refreshing =)
