Lunch At My Elephant Thai Restaurant, Sri Hartamas

Lunch At My Elephant Thai Restaurant, Sri Hartamas – One of my school’s design project is to visit some local brand restaurant and experience the design. But then I’m not going to talk about design but food! One of my favourite food is Thai food, because the food taste is very suitable for Northen Malaysian who likes strong sour and spicy taste.

I went to one Thai restauran at Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur – My Elephant. Upon entering, it doesn’t feels like it’s a restaurant serving Thai food, the design and decorations is very modern and simple. The restaurant is very narrow and not-big. It was lunch time and they have special set menu. Only at night that you get to order their a la carte menu. We actually went to the restaurant quite early, 1 hour before it’s official opening hour, the staff was kind to allow us to go in to wait. We made our order and waited for the food to be served at 12pm sharp.

They have a plenty of food in their lunch menu, Pad Thai (Thai beef noodle), tomyum seafood, fried rice and more. There’s 4 types of fried rice and each of us (my team member) ordered a different fried rice each, starting from RM9.90. Check it out below.

Khao Phad Tom Yum – Tomyum Fried Rice (RM12.90) – Strong taste of Thai food spices, I don’t really like about it, my friend Arvin liked it.

Khao Phad Sapparot – Pineapple Fried Rice (RM9.90) – Plenty of pineapple hidden in the rice and the rice is fried with curry powder, taste a bit salty, not bad.

Khao Phad Kapi – Thai Belachan Fried Rice (RM9.90) – Served with sour mango, sweet dried shrimp, and sweet pork, tasted pretty good, the belachan taste is awesome.

Khao Phad Lychee – Lychee Fried Rice (RM9,90) – Something different, but like typical fried rice top with a lychee.

Frankly, all of the fried rice at there were kinda nice, the taste are good, the place is clean and the food presentation is very well too. Lunch menu comes with a fresh pandan drinks too. Definitely I will go back again to try out other food.

Dinner at Clinic Cafe, Seberang Jaya

I want to tell people that I went to clinic, to eat dinner. LOL. It’s the Clinic Cafe at Seberang Jaya, near to Sunway Carnival Mall. It’s more likely a themed restaurant with a hospital/clinic feel. I read about it in the newspaper and pretty curious about the place so I and some friends went to check it out. I believe there’s already one similar in Singapore’s Clarke Quay, but that’s more on drinking instead of meal.

It felt a little bit creepy to me when dining in there because, the waiter and waitress dress like a medical officer and it’s like dining in a clinic. Well, this is a simple one, the one in Clarke Quay, Singapore is more beautiful than this. We went there during dinner time but there’s like only 2 tables dining, include us. Pretty quiet. I think old chinese people wouldn’t want to eat here because of pantang.

After looking at the menu, the food is cheaper than I expected, but not very low price yet. It starts from RM7 and above, serving local oriental and some local western food.

I ordered the cheapest Tom Yam Fried Rice at RM7.80. They have put in a lot of spices and there’s tom yam taste but I dislike the spices, maybe some like it but not me. Don’t you feel creepy when eating rice in kidney bowl which use during surgery? Eww, haha.

My friend ordered the Yang Zhou Fried Rice, looks not bad, and tasted pretty good too. There’s lots of vegetable and forgot to mention that all our fried rice came with 4 crispy fried shrimp.

Oh shit, I’ve forgotten what my friend ordered for this beverage. It’s chocolate milk shake with vanilla ice cream if I am not mistaken, taste good, but RM5.80.

Have you been here before? I not sure whether will I return to this place or not, it’s far! Come open up one in Penang island then that’s good. =D

Kimchi Fried Rice At B Station, Taylor’s University

More and more restaurants are popping up at Taylor’s University commercial area, the Syopz @ Boardwalk. Korean, Chinese, Japanese and recently an Italian restaurant, I wonder what’s next. Few days ago, I went to the Korean restaurant, B-Station to have my dinner.

Looking over the menu, I felt like eating kimchi and so I ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice (RM9,90) with added minced beef (RM2.00).

It comes with the kimchi vegetables, a soup and of course, the rice with a sunny egg.

Well as for the taste, I got to say I like it because I can taste the kimchi taste in the rice and can feel the little kimchi among the rice. The minced beef added some meat biting experience in the mouth, making it even better.

Unfortunately, the soup was not that nice, it’s a korean soup but served warm, not hot enough. Pricing wise, I think it should be less than RM10 instead of adding RM2 for the beef meat.

From what I have known, this restaurant is operate by real Korean and the chef is also a Korean. You guys can check out the place as it has nice interior.

Maryland Fried Rice and Roti Hawaii at Murni Discovery, Aman Suria

The mamak look so not mamak. It’s so modern and it’s 2 levels.

After I come to KL to study, I always hear people talking about SS2 Murni, delicious, mamak and stuff. I was curious then, I thought it’s a mamak like Penang’s Abu which makes me excited because currently I am craving for Abu’s maggi goreng ayam. So one fine night, I went to check out Murni, I went to Aman Suria’s outlet instead because SS2’s was closed for renovation few months back. Thanks to Google Maps, I found the place. =D

It’s pretty excited to see there’s so many people and tables and chairs on the road were also full of people.

After checking out the menu, I felt it’s so unlike Abu, instead they have super huge variety of food, from Malay to Western to Chinese food. It’s fusionized and all halal of course. Surprised to see that the waiter who takes order uses a PDA to take order, really very high tech.

They have a wide variety of beverages too. I ordered a medium Ribena Special, which is Ribena in ice blended with nata de coco and longan. So icy chilling cool. =D

Then here’s my food. I ordered a Nasi Goreng Maryland. It’s fusion of malay fried rice and western food. There’s the fried rice, a sunny egg, french fries, prawn crackers and deep fried chicken maryland. Really big portion and please eat it when you are very hungry. RM15 for this thing. The fried rice is OK but the chicken maryland was good.

Then my girlfriend ordered a Roti Hawaii which is one of the special food in Murni. Murni is quite famous for these roti this and that stuff like roti beckham, roti jepun, roti salad and more. It’s different from normal roti canai as they stuffed the roti canai with many ingrediet like the Roti Hawaii, it has sausage, minced meat and egg. RM5.50 for this. Quite special. You should try this.

I have been to Murni for quite some times and already feel a bit bored yet I think it’s the best mamak place to me at the moment until I find a new one, though I still like Abu in Penang more for the maggi goreng. Can’t find a good maggi goreng in Klang Valley, any recommendation?

By they way, Murni have a Facebook page.
