Premium Vietnamese Drip Coffee. We wanted to order some other types of coffee because they seemed to be more interesting. Unfortunately, they were no longer served during our visit. My comment about this? Ugh. Oh my. It was so extremely bitter no matter how much of condensed milk was added. I had to take a sip, and ate a little bit of condensed milk to balance the taste.

 
Vietnamese Summer Rolls / Fresh Rice Paper Rolls. I never like mint leaves, but this appetizer came together with mint leaves. Still, it wasn’t too strong and it was acceptable because the taste was somehow covered by the sauce (made of peanut, I guess). A good appetizer I would say!

 
BBQ Lemongrass Chicken Chop with Rice. Don had this. It was considerably good, or at least much better than what I had. The chicken chop was not perfectly done, but still okay, and the others were pretty normal.

 
Grilled Lemongrass Chicken with Dry Noodles. I am not quite sure about the name of my bowl of noodles. It was a Vietnamese salad that came together with noodles, vegetables, and two sticks of chicken satay. Two small sticks of chicken satay. And it was priced at RM16.90. Hm.

Although it was pricey, the environment and services were good. The waiters wouldn’t stop smiling.

Brunch at Mekong House Restaurant OK Jul 10, 2013

Iced Vietnamese Drip Coffee. This is probably the best Vietnamese Drip Coffee I have ever tried in Malaysia. Wait for the coffee to drip into the small glass, stir it well together with the condensed milk, and pour it skillfully (or it will be all over the table) into the bigger glass filled with ice. Take a sip before the ice starts to melt and enjoy the fragrance!

If you don’t want it to be overly sweet, do not stir all of the condensed milk together, and when you pour it into the bigger glass, do not pour the remaining condensed milk into it as well.

 
Fresh Spring Roll. I specifically ordered one without mint leaves, because I never like the taste of a mint leave. It was quite okay, although slightly tasteless. However, if you are perfectly fine with mint leaves, perhaps it would be a good starter for a meal.

 
Lemongrass Chicken with Rice. This is one of my favorite in Mekong House, and I wasn’t already new to it. The fragrance of lemongrass was always strong, with a little bit of spiciness. Still, I was never satisfied with the fact that the sauce was always too little, and chicken breast was usually served together instead of chicken thigh or drumstick.

Additionally, their waiters and some of the waitresses are extremely friendly. Of so many visits, I have never seen annoyed faces no matter how troublesome some of their customers were, and they’re always prepared to help anyone whenever necessary.

Basically, K3K is an abbreviation of Kwai Sam Kee, literally translated as K3K Kopitiam. "Sam" means three in Cantonese, by the way. The idea of setting up K3K Benta Kaya came from Ho Kwai Sam, a man who used to tap rubber and operate a grocery to earn a living. It was inspired by the strenuous efforts of the rubber tappers in getting a good cuppa and bread to go with before work. After 50 years of history at Benta, Kuala Lipis, Pahang, K3K Benta Kaya opened its first branch in Damansara Perdana, and expanded its business to Subang Jaya, Bukit Tinggi, Klang, Kuchai Lama, and etc. – Edited from K3K Benta Kaya, Malaysia (http://k3kbentakaya.blogspot.com/)

 
I don't usually do this. I was completely insane to order a cup of Hot Soya Honey Ginger with extra sugar. Needless to say, I regretted. It tasted so bitter that I had to mix almost every mouthful of it with some kaya in my mouth before I swallowed.

 
Halfway through our dinner, Don decided to order another cup of drink consisting of coconut milk, sago, and red beans if I am not mistaken. Both of us couldn't quite remember its name, and it was nowhere to be found on the worldwide web. I guess it was good, or at least better than Hot Soya Honey Ginger, judging from my recall of intention to jokingly exchange our drinks.

 
Kaya Char Kuih! Just by looking at the picture shown on the menu, we pretty much drooled. Prepared and tasted similarly to our traditional You Tiao, K3K Benta Kaya served it together with their homemade kaya. Although the combination of sweetness and saltiness may be weird, I thought it was unique, and it could have been perfect if the amount of sugar used for their kaya could be reduced.

 
Apparently, Penghulu Fried Chicken with Rice was listed as one of the chef recommendations on the menu, and I have seen plenty of positive comments from several bloggers as I went through the internet for more information. Fried to perfection, the fried chicken was crunchy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Dip it into the bowl of curry that was not spicy with strong taste of coconut milk, and it will be perfect.

It is, nevertheless, not advisable for people who concern about weight and health.

 
My Curry Chicken Rice was very ordinary, to be frank. Still, I loved how K3K Benta Kaya served their meals with a small bunch of Mamak Style Fried Cabbage each to sort of balance the nutrition.

I know I will definitely return one day, perhaps another brunch, because I have yet to try their side dishes that tempted me so badly during my visit. Price wise, it's similar to other cafes like PappaRich, In House Cafe, and etc. Be sure to give it a try!

At Food Republic, I quickly browsed through the stalls available and decided that Mixed Rice could work better as healthier "fast food" before my appointment. I didn't have to wait for anything to be cooked or heated. There were quite a few stalls that were selling Mixed Rice with different dishes, but the shrimps at Scissor Cut Curry Rice were simply too tempting, which was why I selected this particular stall in addition to the convenience.

 

 

 
Generally, it was good, and the price was definitely a killer. I would, nevertheless, prefer the eggplants to be cooked and soaked together with the vegetable curry instead of having them separated, making them tasteless. The fried bun was just something pricey that I took, at RM1.20 each if I am not mistaken.

It is quite unlikely that I would appear at Sukimye Hainan Kopitiam, a mini restaurant located within walking distance from Taylor’s University and my place, at 1.00pm on Friday. I was supposed to be having a meeting with the members of PATA Malaysia Student Chapter. That day was an exception. Kah Mun, Natalia and I decided that we should step out of the campus for a while to take a breath after getting our blood boiled due to some reason.

 
Kah Mun had a strong crave for their Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken, so I decided to order the same thing as her to give it a try. However, they ran out of “stock” as usual and only managed to provide me with Nasi Lemak with Chicken Rendang. I accepted the offer.

To be honest, I used to be quite of a frequent customer of Sukimye Hainan Kopitiam, and their food has always been quite ordinary. I was, and I still am, more than willing to return to the place again and again because of the homely taste it has to offer for a person who doesn't stay together with any family members. Besides, their price is more affordable compared to those restaurants and cafe available in the campus.
