Here’s what you can get with a RM10 for RM20 worth of food and drinks at Oyster King…
A small bottle of Homesoy soyabean drink
Oh chien (oysters and egg) – A speciality and must try. The takeaway box reminds me of stir friend noodles in Australia. This dish was tasty although there was a tad too much starch added to the egg mixture.
Overall, can’t complain for RM10 but at full-price, nothing beats the hawker centre version of fried oysters.
Alas, there were so many outlets at Solaris Dutamas/Publika that we were spoilt for choice!
We settled for The Red Beanbag which was nestled in the corner of the square and quietly tucked on Level 1 above the hustle and bustle of the main walkways.
Grilled chicken served with freshly ground pepper and some homemade salsa sauce.
We could smell the home-cooked goodness emitting from the kitchen. Everything here smelt and tasted delicious! I have been told that the Tiramisu is a must-try as it is drenched in strong alcohol and smothered with thick cream! Yum!
Give it a go if you are in the vicinity.
For RM14, we indeed were served: 1 Main Course + Mushroom Soup + Garlic Toast + Ice Lemon Tea + 2 Scoops Ice Cream.
Several menu options were available for the main course – mostly consisting of variations of chicken chop and fish and chips.
Main Meal: Fish and chips – deep fried fish with thick, crunchy batter. There was hardly any meat to this dish although portion wise, one could have a tummy fill of deep fried breadcrumbs.
Main meal: Mexican Chicken Chop – a house specialty. This meal was drenched in very sweet and mildly sour sauce. The capsicum, cucumber and pineapple added to the zing in this meal.
Ice lemon tea – nothing but the regular fare here…very similar to Lipton’s ice lemon tea.
2 scoops of ice-cream (no topping) – we were given yam and choc chip. Just the run of the mill ice-cream.
Aside from the items served as part of those stated in the voucher, we also ordered the following:
Kids omelet fried rice – yang zhou fried rice served nasi pattaya style with coleslaw and fries on the side. A treat for the young ones for sure.
Service at the restaurant was extremely slow. Considering we were the only ones in the restaurant at noon, it took a near half hour for the main course to arrive. Thankfully, drinks were served first. The soup and garlic toast were served after the main course!
The restaurant did fill up after the 12.30pm when the weekday crowd came in for lunch. We noticed that the fastest served meals were the daily specials or the bowls of noodles.
Igentis deserves a thumbs up for a family dining outlet and good variety of items on offer. However, they’d need to pick up speed for service on its western menu items or at least state minimum delivery time to avoid hungry, grumpy customers.
I’m selling these as my baby is arriving in Oct and Legoland Malaysia is no place for a newborn. Got these way back in January when they had a terrific sale (and before I knew that lil bub would arrive in the last quarter!). So anyone looking for annual passes can now get the set (2 adults + 2 kids) from me at RM707 (savings of RM333 in total). Email me at: leetc2004@gmail.com
