After the Hello Kitty Go Around Malaysia visit, we look for
restaurant to dine in since it is already 1.30pm. I check the directory at
Ground Floor and spotted Kung Fu Room @ Level 1 which offered Chinese cuisines
with specialties in pan mee. Since my girl loves noodle, we take the escalator
up to level 1 and get our place seated
facing the entrance. The staff are friendly and efficient. They gives us menu
and we start to think what to order. Kung Fu Room reminds me of Kung Fu Paradise
@ Mid Valley but no longer there. Here
served more variety of food at affordable price. A bowl of noodle starts from
RM 10.90 and light snacks are price from RM 6 onwards. We ordered pan mee dumpling,
a ham roll, fried pan mee and dragonfruit juice.

We need to write it down on a piece of paper on what we want
to order. The staff will come and repeat what we have ordered and moment she
left, a young boy gives us two small bowl for the kids. This is what I called
EXCELLENT Service!. I haven’t even request for it, and he quickly serve me the
small bowl. Good Job! In less than 3 minutes, my dragonfruits juice is ready!
Wow unbelievable! After that my ham roll Is served. I think less than 7
minutes, both noodles are readily served on our table! This is really Kung Fu!
So fast serving that I could not believe it. How they cook it so fast? Or has
it been ready made? Hubby said maybe not much of people there since lunch crowd
is over. He tease me that When service is slow you complained so much. Now
service is super fast, you also want to complain?? Hahaha..My kids love this mayonnaise Han RollThe fried pan mee is just average but it does taste better if you add on with the chili paste The pan mee dumpling is delicious with thin layer of dumpling and filled up with meats and vegetables fillings. Portion is acceptable and clean environment.The food is quite decent here. I enjoy the comfortable dining space and thumbs up for the great service here.

Pan Seared Dory Fish Served with mashed potatoes and sautéed
vegetables RM 26 My friend complained that the fish is not fresh. For myself
I enjoy the smooth mashed potatoes.Refreshing cold drinksCotton-Candy Cloud Coffee RM 13. Some called it Rainy Day Coffee. Almost every table ordered this and also their special rainbow cotton candy desserts. We also eager to try this out since it does look attractive. But the drawback is the coffee is not aromatic and not served hot. There are no fragrance of the coffee and it was not impressive to us when we take a sip of the coffee taste. It is totally tasteless and watery even though the cotton candy already drop inside the coffee.Cloudy cotton candy which melted very slow and make a mess everywhere. As a result the cup is all sticky at every corner and hard to hold the handle.Hot Cappuccino RM 10Beautiful? Creative? Maybe. But not for me. This was their
best seller cake but it was not appetizing and the combination is pretty weird.Nasi lemak Cheese Cake for RM15 is far too expensive. The green layer
taste like lemongrass with glutinous rice and creamy in the middle while on
the bottom part are like the chocolate cookies texture. Few pieces of peanuts inside and anchovies on the top of the cake.Salty, spicy and sweet
taste. Seriously, this cake have the unpleasant flavour.

Service is slow and not responsive. Total Damage RM 139 for four pax without satisfaction from the food and the portion. We move to the Weld for a cup of real aromatic Coffee from Starbucks.

Will I visit again to this place? No for me please!

The Champ Kitchen is located in Taman Perindustrian KIP, Kepong. Hidden treasure in this place and I am glad I found a nice place to savour the best braised pork knuckle in town.

It is prepared using a family recipe originating from
Fujian, China that has been established since the late 1800’s. A true family recipes that was passed down to 4 generations. They produced over 100 to 150 pork knuckles
twice a week in the the big wok near the entrance door and was boiled slowly over 72 hours! That was amazing. By just looking at the whole interior, this place looks inviting and a family friendly place to enjoy their home cooked food. Relaxing dining atmosphere The gigantic wok that can fit in 150 pieces pork knuckle and you can drop by to see it yourselves on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Dang Gui Salted Chicken

It was indeed a flvourful pork meat in a bowl of warm rice with preserved vegetables of ham choy, mui choy and a 'hot spring' egg. Awesome!The side dishesAppetizing White Jade Garlic.

One of my favourites - Hot & Sour Mustard. The thick gravy is delicious with a hint of sourish and spiciness. Best to pair with a bowl of rice. HK Cold Century Egg TofuPork version of Lo Mai Kai (Glutinous rice). I was not impressed by the Lap Cheong ( Chinese Sausage) and the pork meat. The lap cheong was sliced too thin. Perhaps they can have give a better portion on the meat.Japanese Slow Braised Beef BrisketGrill NZ Lamb Belly With Szechuan Pepper 100g.

For me I am not fancy on that taste of the ice cream. But I saw other foodies they enjoy it very much.It’s an indulgence not to be missed!

Overall, I love the food here and the price is reasonable. The menu starts from as low as RM 5 to RM 38. You can have option of small bowl of rice or noodles and also opt for a larger portion to be shared among family members or a group of friends.

Definitely a good place to dine in and I will highly recommend this place. My favourite dish are braised pork knuckle, hot and sour mustard, pork skewers, pork lard rice, pork hind rice and the hearty broth of lotus soup. Yumm!
