Classic Kopitiam @ Dataran Pahlawan

One of Melaka's signature dish is its chicken rice ball. Though the majority of shops which offer this dish are non-halal, we managed to finally find a Halal one. Its is from Classic Kopitiam.

See the halal sign there? FINALLY! (T_T)



Chicken rice glued together into balls. I took the small set as I was full but still eager to give it a try.




Streamed chicken.


Dishing it out: If you're a Muslim and you have not tried Melaka's chicken rice ball, give this a shot! I have yet to see another Halal spot to get them. But IMHO it tastes like how a normal chicken rice would taste like, only smaller in portion. =P

Coming back for more value: YES if u want the "Melaka" feel

Cleanliness: DIRTY
Service: MODERATE

Cowboy Place @ Port Dickson

Love the wild wild west? Fancy yourself some cowboys or cowgirls? This is the place to live you dreams! Well.. sort of. Waiters and waitress wearing cowboy hats. Fancy. But it'll be more interesting if they could play the attitude and behaviour that fits the costume. Don't take it too seriously though, its just a theme! =D Or else they will be spitting all over the place like they do in the west, and you don't want to see that sort of scene while you are eating. Anyway, the main attraction here is their nasi kukus with ayam panggang. Odd combination, was my first thought.



HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT! And yet they don't allow you to sit inside where it is cosy and comfortable. Inside seatings are only open during the weekends when it is crowded. Operational hours: 2pm-10pm from Tue-Fri. 12pm-10pm from Sat-Sun. Closed on Mon. 




Under the camp where some western decorations can be seen. I heard they even play cowboy movies sometimes. Cowboy music? nope. Melodramatic malay songs? yes. But I enjoyed them anyways, no damage there.




Ayam panggang. The main feast! We ordered 1 1/2 chicken. The cutting looks similar to Ayamas if you ask me. Taste wise, sweet on the skin, normal on the inside. Tender and well cooked.




Sweet spicy sauce and chicken soup. You will need these due to the chicken that tastes like chicken. lol. Diminishing marginal utility- the more you eat, the more tasteless it taste. The sweet spicy sauce had a thick substance but IMHO it was a little too spicy. (notice all the cili api seeds)




Now that is a whole lotta chicken. Though i do think they might have caused a little air pollution in the process.


Dishing it out: The wild wild west sure loves its sun. So if you can take the heat, i dare you to eat here! or if you can't, nope.. don't stay away! just come during the weekeneds! You will need A LOT of water to survive this visit. Trust me. And them putting so much ice in your water cups do not help this situation either.

Coming back for more value: NO
Crowd: YES
Cleanliness: You eat on mother earth and its natural dusts. Unless if seat inside.
Service: PERKY GOOD and the owner is incredibly friendly

Asia Cafe @ SS15 Subang Jaya

Asia Cafe, a food court oriented food gallery that is popular among locals consisting of college students, working adults, families, football freaks, pc gamers, foosball/pool players and also pirated dvd sellers! Infamously closed down by MPSJ for not meeting the minimum health requirement countless of times, this food court remains as one of the best spot in subang jaya to find a variety of food in one place.




Tropical delight. RM8.50. Honeydew, mango and dragon fruit juice. They have more 3 juices combo just like this!



Melon cooler. RM8.50. Watermelon and lychee. This drink is better than Tropical delight as it is easier to drink thanks to its lite texture. Very refreshing and breezy! Highly recommended.






Crispy chicken rice with additional chicken. One of my favourite college pastime.. remembered ordering 3 packs of this for take away just for me. I was at Obesity Level 2 at that time! LOL




Takoyaki. RM4.50. Mixtures of octopus, prawn and crab. The size of the takoyaki and its filling are small but it makes up with its quantity. Mine without wasabi please!




Grilled Chicken Fish. It does taste a little like chicken if you ask me. Best selection of fish as it doesn't have many bones.




Dragone (medium). RM17. From Pizza Brava booth. A pizza like dish, only it is wrapped with all the ingredients inside. Min waiting time 20-30 minutes. If you are in a hurry, avoid getting this. The shell is hard but once you crack it open, soft cheese starts to flow out of it. The sauce is okay but sometimes a little sour. You will need it if you can't handle the cheese. Eventhough there are limited chicken ham and mushroom inside, the excessive amount of cheese makes it an awesome dish!



Dishing it out: The fish shop located right opposite the sushi bar is one of the best seafood stalls in Asia Cafe. Certain types of fish gets Buy 1, Free 1 deals but not for chicken fish. It would normally cost around RM20 for one. Crispy chicken rice is highly in demand in Asia Cafe, the priced used to be RM4.50 until it went up to RM5.50 and parachuted to RM6.50 currently. [Update: current price RM6.90]

Coming back for more value: YES (for crispy chicken, chicken fish and oversized fruit juices)
Crowd: YES
Cleanliness: Underneath your tables are normally clean but kitchen? who knows
Service: MODERATE (make sure to check your beverage bills before you pay!)
