Dinner @ Madam Kwan’s, Mid Valley Mega Mall

I had dinner at Madam Kwan's restaurant the other day with Charles and our two Filipino friends, Troy & Karen (who now live in Bangkok). Charles' mom, who visited us last month, had previously recommended the restaurant to us after she had lunch there for the first time. Judging from her personal take, we decided to check it out.

This is where you should go to to get your Peranakan/Malay food fix. (Have I mentioned that my grandmother is Peranakan?) The food there was absolutely divine! We were so hungry that we chowed down all the food before taking a photo of it first

We shared a few dishes such as char kway teow (which was a hot favorite), nasi lemak (2nd favorite), curry laksa, chicken and beef satay as well as bubo chacha. I really wanted my friends to try out the chendol but it was sold out! I didn't enjoy the bubo chacha as they didn't have the chewy tapioca bits (kind of like boba tea pearls, but colorful) in there. It was all yam and sweet potato, which I wasn't such a huge fan of.

The food is as authentic as it can get, coming from a nice restaurant that has several outlets all over KL (Mid Valley, Bangsar, Suria KLCC, Pavilion). Price is reasonable and I'd take visitors here again next time. I heard Little Penang Cafe is good too so I'm definitely going there next!
