Korean-Husband Malaysian-Wife

It's long weekend again where International Labour days falls on following Monday! My family and siblings is in town visiting husband and me, and celebrating my dad's birthday together! Our first outing after sis family arrived was drove all the way to Pandan Indah to try out this famous Hainan Kopitiam originated from Bentong, Pahang for it's signature breakfasts and coffee. It is about 20mins away from my home via Sungai Besi highway. 
Warned you first, Thong Kee is very famous among the locals and "outsider" like us. Besides not so easy to find a parking nearby, finding a table is not easy as well. 
Parking - We manage to park our vehicle at a public parking lot not far away, then found out this area is using parking coupon system - which we don't have it and kind off far to walk over to purchase after asked around. So, we park our vehicle without parking coupon. If you worry you might receive traffic summons because of not using parking coupon, suggest yo…

Lunch hour again, besides the usual area - 1MK shopping centre, my neighbour aunty frequently drove us here to Hartamas Shopping Centre for food. This time we try out this Malabar Palace - a restaurant that selling Kerala Cuisine, located at the end of the ground floor, near to the entrance linked to Taylor's College. 
The restaurant has been operate since 2009. It doesn't have large seating area, but it is always pack with customer during lunch hour. We choose to sit outside - more spacious and less noisy compare to sitting inside. 
Malabar Palace's set menu with the choice of  Vegetarian or Non-vegetarian. We both go for non vegetarian. I choose to have Chicken Masala set, and auntie Jo chose Prawn Curry. 
Papadam and Chutney Papadam and Chutney are served on the house right after we place our order. Chutney is a spicy condiment made of fruits or vegetables with vinegar, spices, and sugar, originating in India. It was delicious.

Our lunch at OMAYA is impromptu. We spotted they have a huge crowds and long queues last week. Today during lunch hour, we walked pass and see there is no crowd yet, maybe still early, the clock just about to hit 12noon. Stop by to peep on the menu, a friendly front-line waiter approached us and ask if we want to try their food. Since there is no need to wait for the table, husband say let's try! 
We were ushered and seated at a 4 persons table. As soon as we sit, the waitress built an temporary partition in the middle of the table - it gives privacy for two person diners. 
The restaurant is two floors. The interior designed like "construction site"- zinc walls, wooden partition, uncemented brick wall, under construction signs etc. Yellow and black color everywhere.  
Ground floor is full house very soon after we seated. 
Second floor dining area is slight more spacious than ground floor with more seats.
Outdoor dining area - great for those who afraid food odor will linge…
