Famous Pasembur / Indian Rojak @ Kepong
Jun 9th
There’s a famous Indian Rojak @ Pasembur stall in Kepong that draws long queues as soon as the stall starts selling. It doesn’t even have a name! So, I had to see it to believe it.
Pasembur is also known as Malaysian Indian Salad. It usually consists of shredded cucumber, bean sprouts (taugeh), beancurd (tau fu), prawn fritters, hard boiled egg, potatoes or yam and sotong. The preparation is very simple.. just chop all the ingredients, mix them up and serve with the sweet and spicy nutty sauce.
We had two plates and another to take away and it cost RM11.50. I can’t work out the exact price for one because all our orders were different. Some had extra prawn fritters, some had no sotong lol. The portion may look small, but it was actually very fulling.
When I arrived there was really a long queue. And many of them take away at least five or six packets each! So, waiting time is quite long. The uncle is very nice and polite 
When I was queuing up I could smell the [tag]pasembur[/tag] sauce’s aroma even feet away. It made me really impatient to try it lol.
The stall is said to open from 2pm onwards and could finish before 3.30pm. That’s how brisk their business is. This no-name stall is located beside the durian stalls in [tag]Kepong[/tag], just opposite the big church in front of the old roundabout. If you are lost, just ask anyone about the famous Indian rojak near the durian stalls!
Nasi Lemak @ Wai Sik Kai, Kepong Baru
May 15th
This is a quite popular and nice nasi lemak in Kepong Baru‘s ‘wai sek kai’. If you’re from Kepong you should probably already know this [tag]nasi lemak[/tag] stall. And I bet you have eaten it a couple of times already too. A normal order would be the usual anchovies, hard boiled egg and sambal. But you can opt for add-on dishes to make it a bigger and of course, a more delicious meal.
“Meng Kee” Claypot Chicken Rice
Aug 17th
More food from [tag]Kepong[/tag] to introduce~
I had [tag]Claypot Chicken Rice[/tag] 砂煲鸡饭 for lunch before driving back to Penang on Monday. For Malaysians, there’s no need for introduction to this dish, anyway..
Claypot Chicken Rice is usually a dinner dish in Singapore and Malaysia. It is typically served with Chinese sausage and vegetables. More often than not, the rice is cooked in the claypot first and cooked ingredients like diced chicken and chinese sausage are added in later. Some places serve it with dark soya sauce and also dried salted fish. Salted fish, some claim, enhances the taste of the claypot chicken rice. And even where there are no long queues, given the way the dish is prepared, customers have to wait for at least 30 minutes before the dish is ready.
“Meng Kee” 明记 is located along a small lane between an abandoned building (used to be Parkson) and an old cinema in Kepong Baru. The stall is very simple, with 5-6 tables around and a zinc roof as shade. A small pot serving one costs RM4.50, while the bigger port which can serve up to two costs RM8. You can also order “Yau Choi” and soup too. We ordered Siu Bak Choi and Lotus Soup 莲藕汤. I didn’t taste nor taken any photo of the soup as it didn’t look nice. But according to Siang Leng and her family, it was really good! My loss then I guess 
The “Yau Choi” tastes good and complements the rice very well. Our bill came to RM22+, RM5+ per person with chicken rice, soup and vege.. I think that’s pretty good value for money if you ask me, especially in KL!
