Having decided to have Western Food, we ventured into Dataran Sunway to this place called Big Brother Restaurant & Grill. To be precise, this restaurant is located at The Strand. It has been around for quite a while now and is very famous for two reasons. Firstly the huge portions and secondly, for it's Halal Status.

Having arrived at this restaurant, we headed in to get our table. It was quite busy even post dinner time.

There was an incessant flow of customers coming in to the restaurant throughout the time we were there. The set up with quite standard for a diner and it was split into two sections, one for non smokers inside and a few tables outside for smokers. The moment we took our seats, we were attended to by a waitress. It took us a while to go through the menu as they really had a huge offering. Another point to note that made this restaurant famous is the endorsement by the Jalan Jalan Cari Makan team. Having gone through the menu, we then called the waitress again and placed our orders.
 |
| Peach Tea @ RM 6.50 |
 |
| Pineapple Tea @ RM 6.50 |
The first to arrive was the above drinks. These were good and they adhered to our request by having minimal ice. Both these teas had real fruit chunks inside them and thats an upside. We also ordered two glasses of warm water and they were charged at RM 0.50 each.
 |
| Garlic Bread @ RM 5.90 |
The first dish that arrived was the Garlic Bread. This was really good and I loved the crisp yet mouth watering taste. Really fantastic. I would rate this at 9/10 . A must try dish here.
 |
| Grilled Lamb Chop @ RM 20.90 |
Okay, now for this dish, the portion was really huge. There were two massive chunks of meat placed above one another with mashed potato right at the bottom. The Mashed Potato was surely home made and not the powdered stuff. The vegetable side dish was pretty good too and there was a trace of honey in it. As for the lamb, though the size was really huge, it did not have the uumph that should be there. It was quite bland and flat. It surely can be made very much better than this. I would rate this 5/10 only.

| Big Brother Special French Fries @ RM 9.90 |
 |
| Big Brother Special French Fries @ RM 9.90 |
This is a signature dish here and I would recommend to try this. It is French Fries fried and baked with Cheese. Don't let this dish to cool down or try to eat it when it has cooled down as the taste is only intact when it is still hot. When cold, the cheese combination does not work quite well. I would rate this 7/10 and it is worth trying.
 |
| Pan Seared Salmon @ RM 25.90 |
 |
| Pan Seared Salmon @ RM 25.90 |
This is by far the best dish that I has tasted in the restaurant. The Salmon was excellently done and the sauce was just absolutely delicious. A very good dish at this restaurant. I would rate this 9.5/10 . Must try dish here!
 |
| Grilled Chicken Chop @ RM 15.90 |
This dish was just average. They have the option of having it in either Mushroom Sauce or Black Pepper Sauce. It is just a slice of chicken laid above some mashed potato. Taste was flat to me. I would only rate this 5/10 .
 |
| Grilled Whole Chicken Leg @ RM 17.90 |
Once again, this dish was quite disappointing as well. I was expecting much more out of this dish. It was not bad but wasn't great either. Flat taste and deserves a mere 5/10 rating.

On the whole, this restaurant has its advantages and disadvantages. Some dishes are pretty good and some are just average. However, portion sizes are surely huge and prices and decent. If you are limited to dining at Halal restaurants, then this would be ideal. Service level is a little slow and has got to improve as well. I had some issues with the Credit Card as the guy operating it which seemed like a foreigner did not know how to operate it rightly. Our bill for the day came up to RM 121.45, including taxes which was decent for four pax.

Cheesy fries...OMG! so yummy looking! Usually cheese baked dishes are best eaten as hot as possible! they won't have an OOMPH factor when they are cold.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right Denise. They were good but their Pan Seared Salmon was awesome. Honestly ive tasted better food but not better Halal certified food. That's their plus point indeed.
Delete敬爱的佛教信土:
ReplyDelete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。
