Food Review : Nasi Kandar Penang Kudu bin Abdul



This post is a pretty delayed post. Last month, I finally fulfilled my Nasi Kandar craving by visiting one of the famous Nasi Kandar shop in Kuala Lumpur. Been wanting to visit this place for awhile. After looking through other food blogs and their reviews, the food really look good so I thought I should give it a try.

The restaurant is located near by Maju Junction and is along the busy Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Parking might be a hassle if you plan to visit this place during a weekdays. You know how Kuala Lumpur is during weekdays. Jam, jam, jam and nothing but more jam.


Nasi Kandar with fried cabbage, lady's finger and Ayam Kicap



The shop is pretty small and is usually very pack during the peak hours (lunch hour) So that is pretty much why you might need to queue up for the food.


Ikan Masak Asam



Sotong


After much discussion with my friends that went, we thought that this place is very overrated eventhough they were popular. Not a place we would come again. The ayam kicap's meat was very dry which made it too tough to eat. The sotong wasn't as fresh as we expected. This also happened for the Udang Galah that we took. Usually, I would always ask the price of the seafood in Nasi Kandar restaurants but since it was my first time here, so I thought I would just try everything they had but it made me regretted my actions.


Udang Galah which cost RM15 per piece, so not worth it


The Udang Galah cost RM15 per PIECE which was a real slaughter house. If it was good and fresh I wouldn't complain but it wasn't unfortunately. The curry was different from the curry that I usually have but I don't think it suit our taste.

This is the second place I went to in Kuala Lumpur that is really overrated. This one and Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa >.<

On the brightside, actually the food is pretty cheap if you order the basic, (Rice+meat+vege) it would only cost you RM5.50. You might want to give it a try, if you are nearby the area but it's certainly not on my recommendation list.


The after effect


The only time you see us looking like this is when the bill is RM93 for 4 person's nasi kandar which is totally mind wrecking. I guess my nasi kandar hunt is still gonna go on. Any suggestions?

Ampang Lookout Point



Here is a place where if you guys and girls have free time, just looking for a place for a drink. Been wanting to go up there for awhile back and I never expected the place to be so happening.




Didn't take any photos of the shops over there. I can remember that there are like 3-4 shops over there and it was pack that day when we went there.(including Gasoline, 2 cafes and a higher class western restaurant)It was on Friday after we had our dinner and Swensens ice cream, we decided to go for a drive in KL but we ended up here which was worth it!

Some photos of the view :D







Check the place out, if you don't want to go so far up to Genting for cool air :D Here's a replacement :)

Letting it out..

Was there ever a time where you see a love one so sad, so upset, so frustrated that you don't know what to do? Times when your normal friends go through but you are able to have them at ease? But when it comes to people that you really love. It becomes difficult, you try to do something but it is just so difficult to make the first step? You just don't know what to do or how to do it..

I thought my life would be smooth flowing after my last rift in my life. I thought I can just focus on my goals. I was doing so well but I guess no matter how much you plan for your future or life. It might never be as you planned. There would always be endless challenges. If it doesn't have to do with you, people around you might affect you.

Now I am just sitting here in my room, just wondering what I should do? Being an adult, life is so much more complicated because you understand things that children don't. They wouldn't want to involve you when you were a child but it is different now.

Anyway, I am just ranting out.
