Wen Kang Ji (文康記), Food Junction @ Lot One

Wen Kang Ji has a stall at the Food Junction in Lot One (#04-16 Lot One, 21 Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4). This was the char siew rice with scrambled eggs which I don't think they had on menu previously. Pretty decent tasting. Scrambled eggs were creamy and savoury and the rice was moist. The chilli sauce rocked. Char siew was okay-ish. Seemed to be better back in the past. Because we've had Char Siew Yoong recently, the mind reaches back in comparison which seemed almost unfair. 😅 Anyways, this had nothing on Char Siew Yoong. Not even close.

Tea Garden, Subang Skypark Terminal

We've seen Tea Garden around in this trip to KL but ended up eating at the branch at Subang Airport (G15, Lpg Trbg Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah, Lapangan Terbang Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah, 47200 Subang, Selangor, Malaysia) while waiting for our flight back.

Hot Michael Jackson. There was a lot of flavour from the grass jelly in the drink. Not bad.

Unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised by their Tea Garden Special Fried Rice. This was pretty much their rendition of yang zhou fried rice with chicken char siew instead of the pork variety. There were a few whole prawns in the plate instead of chopped up or puny ones. Nice smokiness from the scorched grains and impressively no excessive grease.

Nasi lemak also pretty good tasting. There's achar in this plate which I liked. 

Not bad chicken char siew bao. Tasted like regular char siew bao without pork fat flavour.

Tau huey with gula melaka. We got this thinking it would be a rich and thick drizzle of the palm sugar but it was kinda diluted.

Anjappar, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur

Weeeee....Anjappar at Brickfields (136 Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Brickfields, 50470 Kuala Lumpur, tel : +60 3-2273 3812)!

First time having an orange lassi. The drink was a little thin with the yoghurt but one could definitely tell that it was made with fresh orange juice.

Love their chicken 65 briyani. The chicken tasted freshly fried and was deliciously spiced/salted. Rice was expectedly true to form from them; savoury and flavourful of the warm spices. Good enough to eat on their own.

We had an order of their eggs kalaki - scrambled eggs which were lightly spiced and nicely done if I might add. 

Masala chai's pretty good here. Much better flavour from the masala than the ones back in Singapore.

Kenny Hills Bakers on The Park, The Exchange TRX, Kuala Lumpur

Dinner at the Kenny Hills Bakers at TRX (The Exchange TRX, PL05, PL06 & L04, Park Level, Persiaran TRX, Tun Razak Exchange, 55188 Kuala Lumpur).

Their smoked haddock toastie with leeks and Gruyere was so good.

Smoky from the fish, salty and cheesy amid all the butteriness in the toasted bread.

There was a dinner only steak, bone marrow and croissant pie which sounded interesting. The top crust was a buttery croissant with a bone wedged in the middle. Yes there was marrow in that bone.

Pie was not bad tasting as a whole and was pretty rich with the gravy and the crust. The lean slices of meat in the pie was plentiful but got boring after a while though.

A couple of mall banana leaf nasi lemak at Nu Sentral

Tried a few banana leaf wrapped nasi lemak from Nu Sentral (201 Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Kuala Lumpur Sentral, 50470 Kuala Lumpur).

The one from Bungkus Kaw Kaw (Lot-44, LG Floor) wasn't fantastic. Rice didn't have much coconut richness. This tasted very kampong if you catch my drift. Serviceable but not something I'd eat again. Also no hot drinks here it seems.

The one at Nonya Colors (L3 27) fared better with flavouring of both the rice and sambal as a whole. Hot coffee was decent. Not to also mention that there's a variety here for eats other than nasi lemak.

Original Penang Kayu Nasi Kandar, NU Sentral, Kuala Lumpur

We noticed Original Penang Kayu Nasi Kandar previously at Mid Valley. Seeing them again at Nu Sentral kinda piqued our interest again so here (Unit LG. 30 & 31, NU Sentral Mall, 201 Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Brickfields, 50470 Kuala Lumpur) we were.

This was fried fish role, chicken korma and cabbage poriyal and telur dadar with their nasi minyak at 33.90RM. While I have been told that nasi kandar tends to be pricey, this was much more than I expected to pay. Other than the thin-nish gravy from the korma, food's generally not bad tasting. I need to either choose the dishes or location more wisely the next time.
