Village Park Restaurant @ Damansara Utama, Kuala Lumpur

DSC_5164

Having tried nasi lemak that dignitaries patronize in Johor, here comes Village Park that has won the hearts and stomachs of KL-ians. I was definitely not expecting a turn out like this but it seems like norm. There is both a takeaway and table queue.

Servers clad in their signature orange shirts come around to take orders - assuming your hands are fastest enough to catch them in between clearing tables and delivering orders.

Prices for reference.

Nasi Lemak Set (RM 10.40)

A staple at every table, it's almost cardinal sin visiting Village Park and ordering anything else. Portions are good enough for two truth be told.

Juicy, absolutely tender and the generous coating of ginger and lemongrass was sufficient to sent me straight to chicken heaven. The batter was so crisp, I could just eat keropok out of these!

Oh man. Best of 2017, this has to be. Nothing fancy, except down to earth solid good stuff.

Bergedil (RM 1.80) that was rather ordinary but well with such an outstanding nasi lemak, who can fault?

Kaya Toast (RM 2.80) that could do with more burnt ends and thicker toasts!

The said die die must try Iced Milo (RM 6.90) which I thought reminded me of  the milo van milo.

I'd highly recommend Village Park for a life changing fried chicken in a nasi lemak dish. The other dishes are hit and miss but the nasi lemak itself is worth travelling for.

Baba Steven's Private Dining: A ex-chef turned home cook

Image
Baba Steven or Chef Steven is endearingly known as has been whipping up peranakan feasts from his Bukit Batok Home since he retired. We booked a table of 8 for a $450 dinner comprising of 8 dishes. Baba Steven's chilli is a must try, fragrant and so tasty with just white rice. I clearly overdosed on this whilst waiting for the rest to arrive, just like soy sauce and rice, so simple yet my belly was full on happiness. The feasting kind of started before the mains were served - freshly baked pineapple tarts. These open faced babies come with a mildly sweet pineapple jam baked atop a really buttery pastry shell. Bakwan Kepiting Soup This is almost a Peranakan staple across the private dinners I have done and whilst this is homecooked, I found the meatballs rolled a tad too tightly. Soup is refillable but those balls are limited to two per diner. Ayam Buah Keluak is the classic peranakan dish at all peranakan meals and Baba Steven takes pride in deshelling each of these tough nu

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) @ Old Airport Food Center

Image
Jin Hua is a household name for fish soup in CBD , very much so that I have joined the relentless queues during lunch just for a bowl of steaming hot goodness. Hurray to this franchise which also sports queues but more forgiving ones! Even way past 2 pm, the queues were neverending. Sliced Fish Soup ($5) Bland broth in comparison to Hougang Hai Zhen Yuan's, the sliced fish slices made it worse since they were barely seasoned too.   It may problems with a franchise but I still prefer their fried fish version over sliced. Given now I have found an alternative, I'd probably be switching camps.  Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) Old Airport Food Center #01-120
