Restaurant Sum Fatt Kee best nasi lemak in Petaling Jaya?

This is a makan place that was put into the MUST TRY list before we travel south from Penang. After shopping at 1 Utama, we headed for this nasi lamak place. It was highly recommended by a lot of Petaling Jaya people and blogger. So we had high hope on this place even after our lousy lunch at Dontaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant. It was also known as "Maybank Mamak". So how is our nasi lemak experiences during CNY 2012? Read on! How bad can it get after Dontaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant.

The Maybank Mamak is located in the Restaurant Sum Fatt Kee.

The seats were arranged along the side road. The best place to sit is further down or the opposite shop cause the side road slope down. So the tables and seats were slope one side.

We ordered a cup of tea tarik and Milo panas. Surprisingly it was not sweet.

We ordered the famous fried chicken nasi lemak (RM4.50). Sadly the nasi lemak taste soso. Not as we read in the blog piping hot nasi lemak and fried chicken.

The fired chicken was cold. Taste ok only. I think may be it was CNY holiday so it was not pack with people and they not used to handle less traffic :) Food serve were not hot.

Our next order was maggie mee goreng (RM3).

You can ordered for extra fried chicken for the mee goreng. The mee goreng was the standard mee goreng that you can get in any mamak stall. Noodle was boiled and rinse. After that they used the whole pack of maggie seasoning to fry the noodle. The dish was super salty.

The best nasi lemak? i don't think so cause it tasted like normal mamak stall nasi lemak and mee goreng you can get at any mamak stall in Penang. Or may be because CNY, the nasi lemak stall sudden dropped of traffic so the quality of the food also dropped. Beside that while we had our dinner there, there was a small lizard climbed up Cyn's leg. So it was a horrible and bad nasi lemak experience at Restaurant Sum Fatt Kee. No offence to PJ-ites you still can enjoyed your nasi lemak but not for those like me purposely traveled for the nasi lemak.

Dontaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant at 1 Utama at Petaling JayaThe

While walking around 1 Utama figuring what to eat, we noticed this Japanese Restaurant was pack with people. So we decided to try out this place. Food there were disappointing, although it is not bad but why it is pack with people? Service was slow as well. Beside that we did inquiry on the food but wrong information were given. So it is really a bad experience dined in this restaurant.

Dontaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant at 1 Utama Petaling Jaya.

The front look of the restaurant. It was decorated the front with beautiful Japanese bowls. Let say each cost around RM30~40. So the you can image how much it cause to show off the bowl.

The seating at the restaurant.

Our cold and hot ocha.

Our first that came was this Beef Steak Garlic Rice Set (RM19.50). The beef was medium done but it taste soso.

It also come with salad, pickles and miso soup. Miso soup really lousy, tasteless and watery.

Next to come was our Tottori beef ramen (RM17.00).

The pickle dish that come along were lousy and smelly. The ikan bilis was so smelly that i don't even eat it. Bean sprout in the soup was horrible and smelly as well. Soup, beef and ramen taste ok.

Volcano roll (RM14.50).

This roll taste good but expensive.

Overall dinning experience was bad and food tasted soso. I will not go there again in any of my KL trip. Short review on this food place for just to record what i had experience in my KL trip.

Molten Lava Cafe at 1 Utama Petaling Jaya

It is located in front of the cold storage of 1 Utama. It is a quiet side of the old wing 1 Utama . So you might need to walk for a while to there :) We get to know this shop by Google review online.

Front view of the Molten Lava Cafe. It is a very attractive shop that stand out at the quiet corner.

Ambient and some of the dessert they serve there.

You can sit inside the shop or opposite the shop. I recommend you to sit outside because inside is a bit hot and oily.

Churros were made upon ordered. So you will had your Churros fresh and piping hot. Enjoy it slowly to prevent lips burn.

Molten Chocolate Dip Churros (RM5.80). Churros is a Spanish sweet snack consisting of a strip of fried dough dusted with icing sugar or cinnamon.

It came with a molten chocolate, it taste familiar. Cyn suspect it is a melted Cadbury Chocolate sauce. Anyway we will try out at home to confirm it. The chocolate dip is good even it eat alone.

Although it was dusted with icing sugar but it was not sweet even dip in the chocolate sauce. Looked yummy? Yeah it certainly yummy but abit pricey for 4 batang of fried donuts.

Next we ordered the Macaroon. They were Salted caramel and hazelnut flavor Macaroon (RM3.30 each). Cyn was into making her own Macaroon so when she saw this she wanted to try it. Sad to say they Macaroons were lousy.
