A colleague of mine recommended us to some cheap and nice food at Taman Bahagia. The place is actually behind the Perodua showroom which is facing the main road. There’s plenty of food stalls to choose from, ranging from roti prata to chinese fried noodles and mee jawa. These stalls are located very near Taman Bahagia LRT station. From the station (LRT station is on your left), drive straight and turn right at traffic light. Take the first turning on your left after that. The stalls are on the closed road on your left. This place only comes alive after 7.30pm.

At the first stall, we’ve ordered a plate of stir fry cockels. The cockles are fried with a mixture of spices and dry shrimp sauce. Its very rich in taste, but also very oily. Didn’t manage to finish all of them because the last layer is all soaked in oil. As for drinks, I’ve ordered a chrysanthemum tea and PP ordered a red bean soup. Red bean soup is not the thick creamy type. PP likes it because its rich in taste even though watery.

At the other stall, we’ve also ordered a curry noodle and some yong tau foo to share. PP said that the curry noodle’s soup is the closest to the one he had in his hometown. They uses the wantan noodle instead of the usual thick yellow noodle. Curry noodle came with long beans, dried beancurds and cockles. As for the yong tau foo, PP picked a beancurd, two meatballs, a fishball and some fried fu zuk. The yong tau foo’s soup tastes a little bland. Its like any other ordinary yong tau foo. Not as good as those Ampang Yong Tau Foo stalls.

Wow… I just spilled half a bottle of 100Plus onto my keyboard. Had to use quite a lot of tissues to soak it up. Yucks, next time this keyboard will be either filled with ants or become real sticky. Yucks. Gotto change one soon. A lesson for me to learn. Never place a bottle of opened drink infront of you while you’re typing. Another lesson for PP and I is, haha never ever laugh at the stupid things that people do because it’ll eventually happen on us. PP, you still remember the joke about KC spilling his drink onto his laptop’s keyboard?

Anyway, I was halfway writing my post. Wanted to introduce Williams mamak stall, which is located at Taman Mayang, PJ. Friends told us that its related to the Murni mamak stall located at SS2. Williams is just a short distance from the old Lim Kok Wing Institute. Food served at this mamak stall is kind of special. They don’t only serve the ordinary fried noodles and rice, they also do serve western food such as seafood risotto, spaghetti, crab fried rice and etc.

We’ll start off with their drink, the ribena longan. It comes with different sizes. Please remember to specify the size that you want. We did not and they gave us the largest. Don’t think we can finish the drink. This drink is quite refreshing and it tastes very sweet. Partly its because of the longan which is already sweetened. They add quite a lot of longan, easily 20 pieces or more.

We’ve also orderd a Triple-H for dinner. This is a three layered sandwich wrapped with egg. The layers in it contains cheese, eggs and chicken in mayonnaise. It also comes with a garlic and a thousand island sauce for dipping. Its suitable for those who wants to take light meal for dinner.

With all the special dishes served here, price will not be cheap either. You might want to come in a group of a few people and order a few dishes so that you can share it among each other. Nevertheless, we’ll try our best to introduce those which are lessthanten. Will still come again next time to try out other dishes.

Retoran Kapitan is one of the first 24 hrs mamak in Ara Damansara. Its one of the eating place that we frequent to for dinner. Kapitan started its business in early 2006. According to the owner of Restoran Kapitan, En. Ameen Mohamed, he said that Kapitan’s specialties are Nasi Lemak, Naan & Tandoori, Satay, Rojak, Kebab. After some time, they manage to get a few people to set up a malay stall in their restaurant. Have more food variety to chose from. They serve nasi goreng, padprik, tomyam, pattaya and etc. Food quality wise, I can say its one of the better ones.

PP ordered a Nasi Goreng Kampung and I’ve ordered a Beehoon Tomyam. I’m a tomyam freak. Just love the sour and spicy taste. Would be better if its a little sweet as well. My beehoon tomyam is just nice. Soup is thick, not overly spicy or sour, and its sweet. Comes with a lot of chicken meat slices too.

PP’s nasi goreng kampung is very nice too. It is prepared with sambal belacan, anchovies, vegetables and eggs. The portion is huge, can be shared among the two of us. Every mouthful of rice is accompanied by fried anchovies. Adds a lot the the flavor of it.

Restoran Kapitan is also equipped with wi-fi service. Now you can surf online while waiting for you food, and its free! This is a happening spot that you must go.
