*** Wednesday 12.apr.2023 ***

5.03 pm - saw this 100 g box of savoury cheddar & chilli mini bites cookies in food merchant supermarket and made an impulse purchase. It costs MYR 22.90 nett because of the currency exchange rate because the cookies are made in UK.

Mee Pok Curry Chicken

On Wednesday 12.apr.2023, went to Pavilion Bukit Jalil for our lunch and bought dinner takeaway for him.

*** Oriental Kopi ***

12.14 noon - I ordered this oriental kopi curry chicken Mee Pok dry curry MYR 16.90++ which has a lot of curry gravy. There are two stalks of siew pak choy, one tofu pok, one piece of potato and about 4 pieces of chicken. The curry gravy is thick and coconut milk creamy, just a bit spicy. The one spice I could detect in the curry gravy is star anise.

The Mee Pok noodles are more similar to broad wanton Mee noodles. They are broad and very thin.

12.15 noon - this time he ordered kampung style fried mihun with chicken rendang MYR 18.9++ and after eating this rendang, we prefer deep fried chicken pieces with kampung style fried mihun. The rendang gravy is also just a bit spicy but sweet.

The oriental Kopi iced roasted white coffee has a sweet caramelized sugar taste to it so we prefer iced Cham instead because iced Cham tastes more refreshing.

Total price is MYR 51.85 nett for 2 pax.

*** Claypot Hot stall at Food merchant supermarket ***

5.06 pm - he ate half the portion of rice with some curry chicken for his dinner. There is a new food stall operating in food merchant supermarket which sells dishes such as curry chicken, sweet sour fish fillets, soup to go with rice and they are having a promotion price for a single person set meal at MYR 9.90 nett so we bought one single pax set meal as takeaway. We selected sweet and sour fish but they gave us curry chicken. We just accepted the curry chicken because we are ok with curry chicken too. The taste is acceptable. I didn't take a photo of the soup.

Total price is MYR 9.90 nett. The next time I go to food merchant supermarket in pavilion Bukit Jalil, I will take a photo of this stall.

Wild Basil

On Friday 7.apr.2023, went to Pavilion Bukit Jalil for our lunch.

1.08 pm - Fish and chips MYR 17.90 nett from Wild Basil stall in Food Republic Food court at Pavilion Bukit Jalil. I like that the coleslaw is cold to balance the fish and chips which are still hot from the fryer. The chips taste creamy instead of powdery so I like them too.

I am not sure what fish it is. The fish fillet is lightly coated in batter. The fish meat is flaky and naturally sweet so it tastes good.

Stall 8 at the Food Republic Food Court. The name displayed at this stall is Wild Basil.

Wild Basil kiosk is next to the Ayam Penyet stall.

We ate our favourite mihun at Oriental Kopi to use up the MYR 5 e-voucher we received when joining their loyalty program.

Total price after using the discount e-voucher is MYR 30.60 nett.

On the way home, stopped by a new Nanyang Cafe at Esplanade but they say they are not opened for business yet. Will only start to serve customers at 5 pm so we went to Taiwan braised meat eatery in Sri Petaling to buy trotter less rice at about MYR 15 ish. He ate one third of it and kept the remaining food in the fridge for another day.
