Kepong Food Court @ Kepong, Kuala Lumpur

After having been in India for about two weeks, we returned yearning for the local food. Tonight, we decided to head to Kepong to try out this food court which is located along Jalan Metro Perdana Barat 14, right opposite AEON and Carrefour Kepong. 

Huge Number of Stalls

Huge Number of Stalls

Huge Number of Stalls
This place has been around for a few years now. This place is famous as you get more than 60 different stalls here selling a variety of food. You get Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Portuguese, Malay food and Western grilled items here. Definitely a variety that is not easily found under one roof. The place as I know it is mostly packed, especially on weekends where it may take a while for you to even get a table. We were lucky that we managed to get a table almost immediately. Having taken our seats, each of us did a long walk checking out the stalls before finally placing our orders. Ordering here is quite simple, just walk up to your desired stall, mention the table number and the dish that you would like to have, and then it is sent over to your table.

Mutton Satay

Mutton Satay

Peanut Gravy
There is a Satay stall right at the corner where we were sitting and he had Chicken, Mutton and Beef Satay. We decided to go for the Mutton Satay. The Satay's were good, meaty and no fat. The taste too was quite nice but not as good as perhaps Sate Kajang. For just a normal stall, it was quite nice. The peanut sauce too was not watery nor thick, it was just about the right texture and mildly spiced. I would rate this satay at 8/10 .

Prawn Mee

Prawn Mee
The Prawn Mee was just above average. Though it had all the ingredients as you can see from the photograph above, the soup was quite bland and that killed the overall taste. The number of ingredients is important but the key item, is the flavour of the soup which was lacking here. Definitely not recommended. I would only rate this dish at 6/10 .

Fried Chicken

Fried Chicken
The Fried Chicken Stall is located on the other end from the Satay stall. This stall specialises in only fried chicken selling fried chicken, fried chicken pop corns and fried chicken skin. The Fried Chicken was really nice, well marinated and deep fried to a golden brown colour, just the way it should be. I would rate this at 8.7/10 .

Chee Cheong Fun

Chee Cheong Fun
This Chee Cheong Fun stall is somewhere in the center of the food court. This guy sells the above standard Chee Cheong Fun, Curry Chee Cheong Fun and Yong Tau Fu items. He also has the flat and rolled variety of the dough to choose from. Basically, here one would add as many extra items that you would need. The Chee Cheong Fun was nice and indeed the items were fresh. Definitely a good preparation and I shall rate this at 8.2/10 .

Char Kuey Teow

Char Kuey Teow
The Char Kuey Teow stall is located on the far end, quite close to the Satay stall. The portion and taste were good. It also came with lots of bean sprouts, eggs and cockles. Not something outstanding but it was good. I would rate this at 8.4/10 .

Deep Fried Fish with Chili Paste @ RM 18.00

Deep Fried Fish with Chili Paste @ RM 18.00
This stall is a very large stall specialising in seafood items and is located right next to the satay stall. It is difficult to miss this stall as if I am not mistaken, this is the largest stall occupying three units. They have seafood like fish, cuttlefish, cockles, clams, crabs, prawns, giant prawns, squid and many more. A variety of preparation is done here and all have been photographed and displayed at the stall for ordering convenience. We went for the above Talapia fish and requested him to prepare in the above method. Pricing is standard too. Small is RM 18.00 and Big is RM 22.00 .The fish was wonderfully deep fried to the extent that even the head was crispy. The spicy sauce was a tad too spicy so just be cautious when ordering this style of cooking if you are not able to take very spicy food. I would rate this dish at 8.9/10 . 

Us Having Dinner

Us Having Dinner
This was definitely a very satisfying dinner and a huge change from the last two weeks. I would recommend this place as it has a huge variety of food to choose from, the prices are reasonable and the food court itself is quite clean. Good to go in large groups as you get to try more food items like the seafood which are ideal for sharing.
