Restaurant Okay is this humble looking hawker place near Kayu in Chow Yang where Mr Kok has been operating his Fatty Duck stall for 33 years! This family business is now passed on to his son. If you happen to be in that area, get yourself a plate of braised duck rice, for RM7.00, with side dishes such as braised pork (RM8.00), braised mushrooms (RM4.00), braised peanuts (RM2.00), salted vegetable (RM2.00) and braised tofu (RM1.30 per piece) to choose from. This stall is highly favoured among working adults and families in the neighbourhood.
Do away with the fancy dining utensils and tableware, and prepare to get down to practical hands-on eating a.k.a. pouring food out onto tables covered with plastic sheets. A plastic bib is provided to protect your clothes from the mess. If you don’t mind splurging a bit on quality fresh seafood once in a while, this is definitely THE place to come to enjoy seafood of your choice, cooked Cajun style, with aromatic herbs and spices that keep you coming back for more. Choose from a wide variety of seafood served with garlic butter and CF’s signature “Southern Bang” sauces. There are four levels of “heat”: Mild, Medium, Holy Crab and Death Valley. Do note that the latter can be seriously lethal, not for the faint-hearted.
What started as a humble single storey wooden house restaurant 30 years ago has now blossomed into a restaurant that covers 3 shop lots! The Huang family business offers signature dishes that never get old such as Champagne chicken with Watermelon, with sweet juicy watermelon balls that complement the juicy chicken perfectly, Thai Style Grouper head, Sambal Petai Prawns, Kam Heong Lala, Teo Chew Steamed Siakap Fish, and Guinness Stout Pork Ribs. There are also new dishes such as their Three Element Fried Vege Dish featuring Brinjal, Long Beans, Petai and minced pork for RM15+ per plate. An average meal with a small-sized family sets you back around RM100+.
K.T.Z. is famous for their variety of hot and cold desserts and snacks. The deep-fried snacks, steamed yam cake and radish cake are highly raved about, apart from the Tong Sui, being Peanut Butter, Black Sesame, and Tong Yuen in particular. They have even added some new dishes such as Japanese fusion into their menu. The highlight of this shop is their Mango Loh (ice blended mango dessert with chunks of quality fresh mango). Or if you have extra budget, do try their Mat Toh Loh (ice blended dessert consisting a mix of all the types of fruit they offer).
Being the only lobster specialty restaurant in Malaysia, The Lobsterman is a place many are willing to fork out more for, due to the satisfying fresh food quality, and fixed prices. The Atlantic lobsters are served in a variety of cooking styles, such as Char-Broiled, Garlic and Chilli, Simmered, Tarragon Butter Baked (France), Stuffed, Local (stir-fried with XO sauce) and many more! For those who appreciate the sweet original flavour and texture of your seafood, you can opt to choose the salad or steamed version. Be prepared to share as servings are quite big, with the smallest portion being 500gm.
The owner Jason Heng came up with the concept to build a non high-end place where people do not worry about restrictions, how they dress, and would want to come back for the comfort. Cozy with its dim lighting, rustic brick walls, special bean bag area, and customized actual antique sewing machines for tables, Rekindle Café offers a unique Signature Drink “Upside Down”(RM15) which consists of Nutella spread on a cup (which you can scoop and eat), milky mocha, and a topping of salted caramel ice cream! Cake specialities include Tiramisu Kahlua and Chocolate Baileys Hazelnut cake which have a relatively stronger alcohol content, and their famous Rekindle cheesecake which is only available once a week and sells out really fast.
The name “Sacto” is short for Sacramento, the capital city of California, where owner Moe Mohammad, 49, and manager Alex who grew up in the states, first ventured into their pizza franchise.
