Good Eatings: Stuffing Faces at Kopitiam Daily @ Pavillion KL

Is it just me, or are there waaaay too many restaurants that have somewhat similar names. "Kopitiam", Station Kopitiam", "Old Town Kopitiam"..and now, we have "Kopitiam Daily". Talk about being "kopi-cat".

Anyway, Ash and I decided to have lunch one day at this small cafe called "Kopitiam Daily" located on the fourth floor of Pavillion mall in KL. The mini-sized cafe has both inner and outer areas (read: smoking and non-smoking zones), divided by a glass wall in the middle. This way, you can stuff your faces while the smokers outside can have their puffs too. You Puff, I Stuff.

The decor and ambient screams "1950s Malaya, during a time when Ah Peks, Tangachis and Mat Dins used to have a cuppa in dinghy smelly wooden kopitiams while the Mat Salehs have their stupid tea.

What I ordered? the Ipoh Hor Fun, priced at RM 12.50.

Well, to be honest, the Hor Fun ain't bad at all. It does has that authentic, home-cooked taste to it. The soup is great too.

Meanwhile, Ash decided to go for Malaysia's number one favourite breakfast/lunch/dinner/supper meal - nasi lemak. Their Nasi Lemak Special is priced at RM 12.50.

Not content with giving extra-oily sambal, they add in a bowl of extra-oily curry chicken too. A quick Google run tells me that the average nasi lemak harbors between 380 and 450 calories. With all those extra oil, this one seem to pack at least 500 calories. Meanwhile, the average Hor Fun has (horrors of horror!!) 750 calories in it. So, between the two of us, we have consumed thousands of calories in just one sitting.....Learn new things everyday with Calorie Cal - your buddy with the extra fat...err..I mean facts!!

For drinks, Ash had her coffee, while I opted for something cold - the KOPI COLD (as stated in the menu). I think mine is called Kopi Cham (Is that right, Ash?). Yeah, pure genius here - can't even remember his own drink.
