We absolutely love coming to food courts for their sheer
variety. This has got to be the biggest food court we’ve been to so far. To say
that we were spoilt for choice here is a gross understatement, believe you me.

After much deliberation we decided on our dishes and
proceeded to order. Brendan tried the 1Char Kuey Teow (what, not Pan
Mee?); not wanting to turn into the Michelin Man I opted for a ‘healthier’ 2Lotus
Root Soup with rice (a dish that always bring comfort to the heart). Cat
literally went gaga over the vast array of dishes to choose from and settled on
an unconventional dinner of 3Lor-Bak with 4SotongKangkung
(I know, very unusual).
1flat rice noodles stir-fried over very high heat
with light and dark soy sauce, chili, a small quantity of belachan, whole
prawns, de-shelled cockles, bean sprouts, chopped Chinese chives and egg
2a simple soup with lotus root, red dates, peanut
and pork ribs
3marinated minced pork rolled in thin soybean
sheets and deep fried, usually served with small bowl of Loh (a thick broth
thickened with corn starch and beaten eggs) and chili sauce
4blanched brown cuttlefish and cooked water spinach
drenched in a black sauce with hints of sugar, prawn paste and sprinkled with
ground peanuts

What can we say? Brendan and I enjoyed our dishes, but Cat
was over the moon with hers. It’s been a long while since she’s had these
dishes (not readily available where we live) and she absolutely loved it. In fact, the huge crowd that this food court draws is testament to the good food here.
The damage? We feared that we might have gone overboard or
specifically, Cat thought she went overboard with her Lor-Bak (RM7) and Sotong Kangkung
(RM10) but guess what? Together with a round of herbal tea it all came to the exact
total at Pak Li earlier for lunch, which was RM35.40!
So if you and the family have absolutely no idea what to
have for dinner then come pay this food court a visit. We guarantee that there
will be a stall that will appeal to your palette.
