Following the entry on Cheap and Good Chinese Food near KLCC, as promised, here’s the installation for the Malay variety. So for our Muslim brothers, there’s cheap lunch available at the golden triangle, too. However, please wait till after this fasting month, hehe.

bet you didn’t know this kinda places exist just a stone’s throw away from KLCC

This Malay “food court” is referred to simply as the BSN food place. It is a collection of Malay hawkers located at the parking lot that is right across KLCC tower 1, and in front of the BSN building. There are over half a dozen stalls there selling everything from Mee Soto to Nasi Kandar, and Roti Canai to Sotong Kangkung.

best or not?

One of my favorites is the Ikan Bakar (bbq fish.) A piece of what you see in the picture only costs RM 3.00. That’s mighty economical, don’t you think? Other than sting ray, there serve another two types of fish, and they always come with two different sauce for your just-in-time seasoning. A salty and sourish lime based sauce with diced onion and chilli padi, and a soya sauce based sauce, and again, with diced onion and chilli padi. However, they varied in taste.

This meal, with the generous sized water melon juice and rice with some ulam (fresh raw vegetable) and curry gravy costs me a grand total of only RM 6.00, that’s counting the fish. At the KLCC food court, you can probably get a plate of plain noodle and some ice water for the same price, and it’ll probably suck too.

The particular stall that I got this serving is the 1st of the second stretch of stalls. I heard that the place is serving pretty good buka puasa dinner this month.

Been a while since I posted my recipe, so lets learn how to serve up a plate of mouth watering and yet easy to prepare fried rice dish. It’s from KY, so you know it tastes awesome! You can find my other recipes here

work up your appetite yet?

The Ingredients:

• Rice
• An egg
• Some shrimps and Crab Sticks
• Garlic
• Chilli Padi
• Dark Soya Sauce, Soya Sauce, Salt, and Pepper for seasoning

See? So simple.

The Steps:

• As you can see from the pictures, first you fry the garlic
• Add in the shrimp (”marinate in salt water first”), and then the diced crab stick and some chill padi a minute later, fry till you can smell wholesomeness
• Add in rice, and add dark soya sauce, stir till the color is even
• Use the spatula to create an opening in the middle of the frying pan, and crack the egg there, add soya sauce to the egg.
• Let the egg cook for half a minute or so, then stir it up with the rice
• Add some pepper, stir, and serve

If you can’t read, I’m sure you can follow these photos, noob.

Please give me a standing ovation, thanks thanks.

We got a free BBQ set with the purchase of Petronas Syntium engine oil just last week. After coming back from the market, we thought: hey, why not a barbeque? It was just a random idea and contrary to my neighbour’s assumption, it wasn’t anyone’s birthday.

So we marinated some chicken with garlic, onion, ginger, and salt, a fish with curry paste, sliced beef, some sausages, tomatos, and for appertizer while waiting for the grilled food, we fried some roasted pork with garlic and thick soya sauce. Of course, there were some alcohol involved..

The grilled tomato was delicioussss

As this was totally unplanned and we didn’t have that much food in stock, we didn’t really invite anyone other than the two famous people who happen to stay a stone’s throw away (your stone may vary.) So suanie joined us for the cook-out, while FA arrived later, for some alcoholic treatment.

Yeah, kerol was drunk

It was a great evening, the atmosphere was perfect, with the sound of running water from the pond, the music, the breeze from the fan, pretty good BBQ food, friends, and of course, a bit of booze. You should get yourself a BBQ set.

How many times has it occured in your mind that you so want to go to Penang just so you get to devour the asam laksa there? Well, if you’re a laksa lover living not too far from PJ, you have salvation. According to kerol and suanie, this shit is teh good. (I’m not a huge laksa fan, and prefer real dinner like bak kut teh, heehee)

suan and kerol look so happy!

The stall is situated at this eating place called Alisan, basically a mamak + kopitiam type of setting, with numerous hawker stalls offering fried lala, yong tau foo, wan tan mee, and of course, the laksa. According to kerol, this laksa is of the Kedah style, which is slightly less soupy than the Penang type, but otherwise pretty much the same.

This plate shouldn’t be hard to clean..

The asam laksa is served in a plate rather than a bowl, and comes with generous portion of chillie padi on the side. In the plate there are your standard laksa noodle, shrimp sauce, fish based soup, chopped vege, cucumber, and some other stuff that I cannot name. It’s delicious, that is why these 2 girls finished it clean even after just having a heavy dinner less than 2 hours prior. I didn’t eat, I was still full. hehe

A thing to note though, this laksa stall is like the superstar of the hawker stalls at this area. It had been on some chinese newspapers twice since I moved there. As a result, it is always pretty busy and they ask that you self-serve. Other than laksa, they have pretty good Jawa Mee, Chai Kuih, and some Chinese dessert soup/drink. The laksa is RM 3.50 if I remember correctly.

Call me when you go there, I am only 5 mins away on foot.

P/S: Peter Tan is having a charity drive and he’s SHAVING HIS HEAD FOR HOSPICE, please do lend your support, thanks thanks thanks.
