Madam Kwan's Restaurant Beckons

Madam Kwan's Restaurant has earned itself a quite good reputation amongst Kl-ites. It's a place to go to if you're craving truly Malaysian foods like nasi lemak, chicken rice and char kuey tiao. If you stumble upon their Suria KLCC outlet on any given day, chances are good there'll be a decent line of eager customers waiting to get in. The one that Ash and I went o this time is located in Pavillion KL, which, fortunately, is not as packed as the other outlets.

The place is really cosy, with light charcoal hue being used as the main colour palette to help invoke a calming sensation, strategic and comfortable table arrangement that creates the illusion of a spacious area, as well as harmonious implementation of a rocky stream that surround the outer perimeter that further lend a relaxing mood to the ambience....Yes, I read a book on Feng Shui, and I'm not afraid to give my 20-sen worth..Lillian Too, you better watch out!

I ordered their Char Kuey Tiow (RM 15.40), which is also a house favourite. The portion is generous, the taste...satisfying. 

Meanwhile, Ash ordered their Nasi Lemak (RM 14.90), also a popular dish amongst its patrons.

For drinks, I ordered the Ice Campur (RM 6.80), which is so good that Ash couldn't resist 'stealing' some...As for me, I think it's a bit too plain...

For herself, she had the teh tarik (RM 5.60). Sh said the only time she order the drink is when she eats at Madam Kwan's. I'll take her words for it.

I wonder if the 'mug' on the mug is Madam Kwan herself....I think I heard of a place in Paris that is also called Madam Kwan, but instead of food, it specialises on something of a ......errr...more 'exotic' nature, if you get my drift. But that's another story for another blog.

This is a nice place, if you do not mind forking out a bit more for staple Malaysian foods that you can get cheaper elsewhere. Well, you pay for the ambience, I guess. I will suggest coming here once in a while when you can splurge a bit.
