Makan Spots in Klang

So, most of the time I would go somewhere far far away to have an awesome meal. When I say "far", it's either somewhere in KL or further up such as Publika. And when I say "awesome meal", I mean some good food. I  love eating! 


Good food is good for the tummy

Recently, I've noticed some new eateries in Klang, some which I would recommend, some are just so-so. 
Let the listing begin.
1. Primo's cafe (Bandar Botanic, close to Domino's)


Highly talked about when it first opened. A great chill out place at night with friends for some gossip session. They have a pool table on the second floor but be prepared to smell like cigarette smoke as it's a smoking zone. Food and beverage ranging from snacks to main courses and coffee to chillers. They now added "shisha" to their menu. Both outdoor and indoor seats.

2. Juicy Bar &  Grill (Opposite of Hometown)


This is one place which not many will notice. Usually I don't too as it looked quite creepy from the exterior of the building, looked as though it's some secluded pub. I came to realize this place when one day my mom saw one of their lunch deals and decided to give it a try since we don't know where and what to eat. As the saying goes, "do not judge a book by its cover". The interior is pretty lovely and they have electronic darting machine. Food and beverage are good with reasonable price. Recommended.

3. Coffee Ink (Same row as Primo's)


One of the new buzz in Klang. This is what I called a proper coffee house which serves you beverages that's worth the money you pay for. And the most awesome part? They have crepe cakes! No need to travel all the way to Nadeje for decent crepe cakes anymore. Love the simple yet artsy interior, the place is filled with the smell of coffee and chit-chats. The bad news? They are closed on Mondays and opens only till 11pm, not a place for night owls. Recommended.

4. Tai Lei Loi Kei Pork Chop Bun (Bukit Tinggi)


First visit, too crowded, no seats available. Second visit, still crowded but there's seats available, decided to queue and try it out. So, I ordered their rice set that comes with the famous Macau pork chop together with a bowl of curry, a fried egg and a drink while my mom ordered the noodles set which includes the pork chop and a drink. Both of us ordered the milk tea. This is a self-service eatery where you queue up and make your order, then wait till your number on the receipt is up to collect your food. The pork chop is nicely marinated so it taste good, curry taste like Indian curry, milk tea was awesome but the rice and noodles were dry. The only thing that I dislike was there is no other side dishes. All you eat is the pork chop with your rice or noodles till one point you couldn't eat anymore and not because you are full but you got "jelak" with the taste. Worth for price? I would say so-so.

5. Burgerland (Bukit Tinggi)


Since the existence of Burger Lab, there were burger places popping out here and there. 
The last one that I went was Crayon Burger in SS15, where the bread are of different colors and the colors are given randomly. You can have your selection of burger patty and I must say, this place is pretty good. Taste good and there's no crazy queue as Burger Lab.


Forgotten what's the name of the burgers we ordered. 
If you want instant updates on places to eat, follow me on Instagram (:
 They have cute designs at Burgerland though.




The first time I went, they were sold out of chicken, only left with fish fillet. Then I realized, they only sell chicken and fish, no sign of beef or lamb. That was the first disappointment. Yet, it got me thinking, maybe their current products are good enough to exclude beef and lamb.

So, today I got the chance to drop by again and I ordered their Chicky Chick.
A combo of grilled chicken, fried chicken and fried egg. Added cash to get it in a set that comes with their curly fries and a drink (refillable).




 

Tadaaa!~ 


Looks yummy isn't it?
I thought so too..









As I bite the burger filled with anticipation, although I couldn't fit the whole thing..
I was actually pretty disappointed. Both of the patties, grilled and fried, were dry, VERY DRY.
I expected juicy patties since it took a while for them to serve my burger and there weren't many customers at that time. Plus, it wasn't even warm. The grilled one was actually nicely marinated if you were to eat it without the bread or else it just lost its taste and as for the fried one, eating too much makes you bored. Even KFC can do better. The fries were good but they could lessen the seasoning, it was a little salty for me.

Overall experience? 
I would prefer to travel to Subang for Crayon Burger or rather queue in line 45 minutes for Burger Lab.

Much loves, xoxo.
