Pondok Sosej @ Pusat Bandar Damansara, Kuala Lumpur

There's this new mall in Pusat Baandar Damansara called DC Mall. It's a relatively new mall and is slowly getting filled up with tenants. I happened to visit this mall a couple of days back and came across this new outlet called Pondok Sosej. I am not sure if they are also located in other malls but this is the first time that I am coming across them. Curious about the food, I decided to give this place a try. 

The Outlet in Damansara City Mall

Very Simple Dining Area

The outlet itself isn't too large. A reasonable working space for them to prepare the orders and a small bar style dining area for customers who decide to have their meals there.

Staffs Preparing The Orders

They have a rather limited menu and it's all around sausages and a variety of preparation styles around the same. You'd have to place your orders at the cashier, pay for them and then the very same staffs would get to work. There's just two people in this whole outlet and though it was just our orders that had come in, they did take close to 20 minutes preparing them. I wonder how it would be like if there was a large crowd. 

Lemonade @ RM 1.00

Smoked Chicken Bratwurst with Mashed Potatoes & Gravy @ RM 7.20

I must confess that their Lemonade was awesome. Seriously good flavours and it was served with a decent amount of ice cubes. A must try when you're here. I would rate this drink at 10/10. Their Smoked Chicken Bratwurst with Mashed Potatoes & Gravy was nothing great. In fact, I was rather disappointed. The Smoked Chicken Bratwurst wasn't up to my expectations and I would only give this 5/10. Similarly, the Mashed Potatoes and Gravy was also not up to my expectations. It was quite dry and the gravy ended up being quite bland. I would only rate this at 5/10. 

Chicken Chili Coney @ RM 7.90

This again was not up to my expectations. Even the much simpler version that we get at A&W tastes was better than this. Their Chicken Bratwurst just wasn't up to it, the bun was a tad too dry and the topping of sauces was overpowering the overall taste. 6/10 would be my rating for this. 

Generally, I find the food here to be very ordinary. The Smoked Chicken Bratwurst wasn't up to my expectations and the same goes for their Mashed Potatoes and Chicken Chili Coney. The only thing that was exceptionally good was their Lemonade. Their staffs have to buck up in terms of speed as well.

Restoran Ali Maju @ Pusat Bandar Damansara, Kuala Lumpur

Many of you may think why I am blogging about this very ordinary 'Mamak' restaurant as it is commonly known in Malaysia as these restaurants offer pretty much the same items across their menu. This restaurant in return, has something on it's menu which is fairly good and that is their Rojak. Being Malaysians we all know what Rojak is and this is one of those places that serve good Rojak. 

Restaurant Ali Maju in Pusat Bandar Damansara

Interior of the Restaurant

This restaurant is part of a huge chain of restaurants and mini markets. This particular outlet is located in Pusat Bandar Damansara, right opposite the entrance to HELP University and along the same row as Giant Hypermarket. They occupy two shop lots and operate 24 hours daily. They have a great variety of food here right from their usual rice and curry, to western food. Being a Mamak restaurant, I would definitely not try their Western Food as I am quite picky when it comes to taste. Their rice and curry too looks substandard to me and there is nothing great to shout about. But one point to mention here is that they have a huge variety of vegetarian dishes being offered on a daily basis and those seemed fairly good to me. The general upkeep of the restaurant is fairly average and this would not be a great place for those who are fussy with cleanliness. Just like everyone else, as I was walking to my table, I started observing the food that people were having and the Rojak seemed pretty good to me. Once seated, the waiter attended and I placed my orders for a Rojak and a Teh Tarik.

Rojak @ RM 4.00

Another shot taken from a different angle

For a price of RM 4.00 per plate, their Rojak came loaded with a whole load of quality stuffs. There were loads of the Rojak cakes, some crackers, a full boiled egg and vegetables. Their peanut gravy was on the mildly sweet and spicy side. This is definitely one of the good Rojak's that I have tried in the Klang Valley and I felt that it is worth blogging about it. Definitely something that I would recommend to others and my rating for this dish would be 9/10 .

Teh Tarik @ RM 1.50

Teh Tarik is always best had at Mamak Restaurants and this restaurant is no exception either. Their Teh Tarik is pretty good and is well balanced between the amount of tea leaves used and milk and sugar.Priced at RM 1.50, I feel that it is quite reasonable for Damansara. I would rate their Teh Tarik at 9/10 .

Overall, this is a rather decent restaurant which serves selectively good food. Although I mentioned that their rice and curry is rather average,their Rojak is definitely worth trying. Having open 24 hours daily is surely another plus point for this place.
