Nest Eatery @ Bandar Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya

This Nest Eatery is a simple cafe that is located at The Place in Bandar Damansara Perdana which has become famous recently for their value Set Lunch's and Breakfast / Tea Sets. As I was in the vicinity today, decided to drop by for tea time snacks.

Nest Eatery at Bandar Damansara Perdana
Having situated at The Place, the signage to this cafe is somewhat hidden and only those from this area or those that visit The Place would come to notice this cafe. Even the poster is somewhat hidden by the tree shrubs. I parked my car and had to take a steep flight of stairs to get to the cafe.

Inside The Cafe

Simple Decoration
When I arrived, the cafe was quite empty. I am not sure if this was due to the Chinese New Year holiday thingy. There was just another table that was occupied. The deco, pretty simple yet nice. I took my seat and then was attended immediately by the owner himself. They run with minimal staff only. Just the owner and two other assistants.

Ala Carte Menu

The Set Lunch and the days offered
I was then handed the Menu. All the items were pretty much Malay style food with a few Chinese dishes available. I also observed and was again recommended to try the buns as they are quite famous here, said the owner. I also enquired about their Breakfast and Tea Sets and then he introduced me another menu card.

Breakfast & Tea Set
I went through the Set Menu and since the bun came recommended, went for the Set 2. I was impressed to note that the price for this set was merely RM 4.90 . Similar sets are sold at some of the kopitiams at RM 10+.

Nice Old Style Coffee
I loved their coffee. Now, for the set you have an option to choose between tea or coffee and I choose coffee. Their coffee was pretty good like that available in the olden Hainanese Shops. Coffee will fetch a rating of 8.5/10 .

Half Boiled Eggs
This used to be my breakfast during my childhood days but since I left home after Form 5 to pursue my studies, I do not remember having this. I guess I missed it very much. Coming back to this cafe, once again this was well done and they surely did not use Grade C eggs. It was definitely Grade B eggs.

Soft Bun with Kaya & Butter
This was good but not as good as those Hainanese Buns. It was soft and the spread was lavish. However there was just something that slacked. Nevertheless, it was still good and I would rate this 8/10 . Just to mention that they also have the steamed version too.

On the whole, their Breakfast and Tea Sets are surely worth for money. Though I did not order any of their main dishes like noodles, I did see it being served to the other table and it looked and smelled good. This is not conclusive on its own and looks can be deceiving. What I am sure of is that their buns and coffee are definitely worth trying.

  1. 敬爱的佛教信土:
    我是甲洞三宝寺 (暹廟) SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. 的理事, 当任此职多年, 对内的事務也一清二楚。

    最近, 在网络上看了PHRA PIYATHAMMO和尚和马华公会鸱唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的双方信件, 使我的内心久久不能平伏, 良心受到很大的譴責, 不吐訢不痛快, 所以我要誠恳的説:他叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)侓师叫外来的流流氓到三宝寺(暹廟)挑衅和尚打架及电招警方人员扣捕沙彌, 其嘲笑手法, 不外是要显示其权力, 而鞏固其职位, 以达到权力就是一切, 好让住持难堪, 自动離开, 方便行事……这种举动, 已间接的表逹其含意, 住持和尚兼顾问, 都无能为力,你们这些信徒能做什么?即使告马耒西亜佛教总会又能为难什么?这种心态, 的硧令人反感, 不是一个正信佛教者应有的行为。

    至今, 三宝寺的理事成员多数是其親戚, 这是实事, 加入会员需交RM100元费用,同时,必须经过叶金福(Yip Kum Fook)律师的同意,否则免談, 所以会员也不多。

    马华公会鹅唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师,自控制三宝寺之後,把三宝寺(暹廟)当着私人產業,聘用和尚賺钱,利用佛教的道地为政治活动埸所,而处理三宝寺的钱财也不透明?这点,值得信众追问。马来西亚地擴人多,和尚也不缺乏,为什么不用本地和尚当任住持化缘,却偏偏劳心劳神,浪费签证费,交通费? 还要烦劳梹城佛总的推荐信, 向文化不同, 而語言又不通之千哩外囯缅旬和尚求助? 为什么….为什么? 只要我们用头脑想一想,便一日了然, 不必晝虎添足。

    叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师说:欢迎任何人如有意见,可以电话03:62762369/0122039700 Email: YIPKUMFOOK@HOTMAIL.COM 戓到其马华公会鹅唛区会甲洞三宝寺及以下地圵:NO.2,B JALAN 53 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 SELANGOR, MALAYSIA.討論, 我要老实的提醒大家, 最好不要一个去見他, 因为这个人狡滑, 笑裡藏刀, 很阴险, 出家人都不放在眼裡, 連TAMAN DAYA 52100 KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR. 众人的印度廟也敢放火燒, 利用权势把场地佔为己有, 由此可见, 他是何等的心毒? 还有现在三宝寺内, 各处都按裝计孔监视来人一举一动。

    目前, 三宝寺很多信徒及当地居民, 已经对叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师不满, 但也不能做什么。他计划把三宝寺主席的职位轉给其子YIP JIUN HANN律师, 续承皇朝. 想近一部了觧詳情, 可上网得知。

    再说, 根据前理事在网络上给叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的批評, 説他懂得包裝自己的道德守则, 以宗教为幌子手, 到处募款, 啇業经营, 政治活动为重, 并没依循佛教守則行事, 也没对人道作出貢献, 只不过借三宝寺宗教之名捞取权和私利而己, 其言也不为过, 是实事。

    在此, 我恳切希望, 廣大的佛教信仰者, 给予关注, 并共創義举, 弘扬佛教. 谢谢。
