If you scroll through Mama Mee (Ye Xiao Canteen)'s Facebook, basically there's 2 young and passionate entrepreneurs coincidentally tasted the best noodle dish they ever had in Thailand and decided to bring the inspiration back to homeland. After trial and error, both of them finally came out with the finalized recipe and began to start selling the noodle dish. A humble start within the Klang community. The journey never stop there, they continue to refine their recipe and skills based on customers' feedback. To a point where they have finally hit big success capturing community's heart and relocated to Kepong Baru for business expansion.

The branch that I visited was in Kepong Baru. It wasn't that bad in terms of traffic on the weekend before 7.00 PM. The crowd starts to build after 7.30 PM, which many come in pair or group of 4. 

So, it is better to have someone to secure the seat while the other could queue up to place orders. It is a "order & pay here" policy.
The thing that I liked about this store is that they embrace e-payment technology such as Maybank QR pay. Guessing that most of their customers are mainly Millennials. Superb convenient if someone forgotten to withdraw cash.

Jumping straight to the main point, this is the Mama Creamy Tom Yum Deluxe, the signature dish, selling at RM 14.80. A bowl that consists of Yee Mee noodle, pork ball meat balls, prawns, squids and runny bull eye that paired with creamy Tom Yum soup all together.
What's unique about it was nothing. Perhaps the effort on plating was the one that attracted the customers in. I personally felt very thirsty after eating, which I think it is a bad thing, right? So the choice is yours.

If you think that Nasi Lemak Bumbung, Flying Wan Tan Mee, Nasi Lemak 223, Duck Rice is the hottest "thing" that ever exist within PJ area, think again... Because there's another hot spot that you have yet to unveil. I found out this hot spot where many named it as Nasi Lemak Kukus Chef Fauzy, located somewhere in the PJ Old Town area.

From my understanding and "quick" research on the net, Chef Fauzy is a senior-level hospitality chef  for more than a decade in the past. Got bored of the hospitality routine and wanting to do something out of the box, he then decided to venture into food truck selling Nasi Lemak Kukus on his own. Leveraging on his culinary edge, reputation and network, he established the reputation of Nasi Lemak Kukus Chef Fauzy today. Somewhat, some addressed this as Nasi Lemak Goreng Chef Fauzy.
Business starts at 6.00 PM, yet long queue awaits before you. Personally experienced 30 minutes in queuing for the goodness. Oh by the way, the star celebrity Chef Fauzy does not hands-on anymore unless crowd starts to pile up by the roadside.

Anyway, the signature dish is basically where the santan rice is stir-fried using the fresh fried chicken oil. Then mixed with homemade sambal to give spicy taste and to emit fried-charred aroma. The fried rice is then served with freshly marinated fried chicken, big prawns and sambal at the side.

Priced at RM 8.00. Personally, the whole dish is absolutely sinful and oily - a calories surplus food. Nothing to shout about the special effort stir-fried rice. The prawn was the best highlight of the visit, rubbery hard as if chewing on a slipper. The fried chicken was the only thing that I enjoyed during that visit.


Summary
Good discovery of this place, get to know what's all the hype all about. Price was great according to the portion served but the taste and aroma was just mediocre. Queue was slightly unexpected long, embrace longer wait if the person in front of you place big orders.

When it comes to food, choice of food is indefinitely, too many options to choose at especially during lunch hour. If you are looking at affordable price food with reasonable portion per serving, you might want to check out at Warung Cikgu, located at Bandar Bukit Puchong. A place that usually gets crowded during weekday lunch hour to cater nearby workforce.
All menu items are freshly fried and cooked, no doubt that all item will come out steamy hot and delicious. After all, this is what all the consumer wants to experience from every eateries, freshly cook food.
This restaurant featured their signature food,  "Nasi Mmanggey" only at RM 5.20 per serving. It is a dish that consist of steam rice coupled with few bits of fried chickens and in-house sambal chili. Additional side dishes can be top-up upon request or depending on availability.

Besides, feel free to try out their Coconut Shake at RM 3.50 per glass. Basically a glass of beverage consist of coconut water top with a dollop of vanilla ice cream to fend off the spiciness out of your palate and cool oneself down during a scorching day.



Summary
A place that is affordable for everyone. A place for someone who loves Malay cuisine and spicy food.

Cafe businesses have been popping out like nobody's business, here, Tapestry is one of the latest cafe that have just operated two months ago. The cafe is located opposite of Stripes Hotel Kuala Lumpur and the very well known hainan chicken chop, Yut Kee Restaurant. Based on my experience, if you were to drive there, do pray beforehand for available parking and no crowd.

Anyway, I love the overall interior look of the cafe, it really paired well with the heritage location in downtown KL. Rustic interior blessed with small group of greenery to have a contrast color and mood. 


Meet this Rise & Shine Egg Benedict (RM 28). Poached eggs, beetroot-cured salmon, bubble and squeak and dressed with bunga kantan hollandaise. Yeap, really tasty - poached eggs were poached beautifully and it matches well with the deep fried beetroot-cured salmon and the dressing. 


This Salt Beef Burger (RM 32), a lightly toasted bun sandwiched with salt beef with sriracha aioli then served with fries and funnel salad: will be a nightmare for all burger fans out there. Those who tried this before will get what I mean. It's pathetic and dry inside, which you have no idea what you are eating. Better visit MBL for better ones.


Shakshouka (RM 32) has meatballs and free-range eggs in the cast-iron pan, served with toasted focaccia at the side. Quite filling for a small tummy. Be sure to have big appetite.


If your lady is in a diet plan, good thing that Tapestry also have diet bowl in their menu. Horchata Smoothie (RM 22) that has bananas, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, chia seed, toasted Hawaiian coconut, healthy granola, pomegranate and gula melaka. A bowl that is suitable for vegan.


Looking for a thirst-quenching beverage? This glass of Tropical (RM 12) has passion fruit, pineapple and green apple all mixed up together in a form of smoothie. Icy cold and relieving from extreme weather.


Coffee in Tapestry is awful to be honest. This cappuccino (RM 13), in my honest opinion, was unpleasantly bitter and the coffee to milk ratio was too imbalance. I think they should re-calibrate their shot's output. 




Fancy, will I be back in the future? That depends.

Stumbled when I found out there's another hidden gem located in Puchong. This place (Sipping Corner by Plant & Pot Studio) by far has the most greenery element in its shop because ... well, as suggested by the name of its business.
You will feel cozy, covered by leafy sanctuary and somewhat escaped from the hectic environment.
Great place for patrons looking for a place to study, work on their assignments or an intimate dating spot. 
Sipping Corner specialized in offering specialty coffee (hand brew/espresso-based), tea, non-caffeinated beverages and cakes.


This is their signature beverage, Cream Coffee, priced at RM 16. Sweet iced coffee blessed with smooth creamy cheese parfait on top. 

Similar to the drink above, this drink is a matcha-based drink with smooth creamy cheese parfait.

I like this Earl Grey Grapefruit cake (RM 14), delicious, not too sweet and I'm a big fan of grapefruit.
