Taiping Ho Chiak, PJ: 3 course-meal @ RM24 for 3 pax!

This deal in SS2 Petaling Jaya offered ayam pongteh, sambal kangkung, lap cheong onion omelette and unlimited soup of the day for 3 pax at RM24. 

The restaurant was nestled amongst the residential area of Chow Yang.  The decor of the place left much to be desired – it was a little Peranakan and a little of childrens toys on the side plus a dash of colour here and too much on another side – anyway, you get the drift.

Tasty ayam pongteh

PA090897

The sambal kangkung lacked uumph

PA090896

Lap cheong onion omelette was all too ordinary.

The main snag was the small metal wires we found in our rice so although business at this restaurant wasn’t all that brisk, food hygiene was surely not one of their top priority.  This topped by the fact that they allow pets into common dining areas would ensure that we will not be making future visits to this restaurant.

Fix n Mix, Scott Garden

 

This eatery is located in the West Atrium of Scott Garden – an unfamiliar and currently under populated part of the building.  There was no one at the outlet when we arrived for dinner and business did not pick up when we left.

In any case, we were there to use our RM7.50 vouchers (Value RM15) where we are offered a pasta (cream carbonara or tomato marinara) plus a sandwich (ham/tuna/egg salad) plus a glass of ice lemon tea to wash the feast down! 

IMAG0187Ice lemon tea (chilled and reusable the next day if business is slow!) This drink was very mild (ie. watered down) even without ice.

IMAG0190

Spaghetti marinara – ample amount of pasta with mild tomato sauce.  I couldn’t help but feel that this was the diluted and warmed-up version of Prego or Kimball sauce!

IMAG0189

Spaghetti carbonara – canned soup watered down? Very mild and could do with a bit of mushrooms or dressing

IMAG0193

Ham and Egg Sandwiches – yes, both types served on the same plate!  This massive (each measuring 2 handfuls) wholemeal sandwiches were sparingly laced with egg mayonaise and thin slices of ham.  The bread is nice enough but the marjerine on it left an awfully oily/sticky feel.  There were literally 2 pieces of thumbsize lettuce in each sandwich coupled with superthin slices of tomato and cucumber.

It was apparent that the business could barely afford to hire extra staff as the owners were there to see to customers.  However, the food was too plain to pay double (ie. regular prices) to warrant a return visit.
