Tom Yam @ Kampung Nelayan - Taman Tun Fuad Stephens

Breakfast today comes from Kampung Nelayan. I'm pleased I gave this place another chance after my slightly disappointing Laksa on a previous visit, but what a difference a dish makes and today's Tom Yam was very delicious indeed, it's actually in a great fighting position for top spot in my humble opinion. Next time I'll try fresh fish and prawn to make my final decision! Today however I opted for the Yu Chap set which came with fish balls, fishcake slices, fried fish paste and beancurd rolls. Fish bits and noodles were plentiful, but the real delight is in the flavoursome tom yam soup, a real treat!

Breakfast Menu.

Kampung Nelayan is the famous restaurant located at Taman Fun Fuad Stephens at Bukit Padang.

The Bill : 1x Tom Yam, 1x Teh C Ping = 9.10 MYR

Quite possibly the top spot Tom Yam!

Hawker Food & Drinks @ Taman Tun Fuad Stephens - Bukit Padang

When the hunger pangs struck, as luck would have it, we weren't too far away from food. Then again are you ever in KK??? A few short minutes later we pulled up at Taman Tun Fuad Stephens and headed for the small outside hawker centre located in the car park. Drinks were ordered first from Ah Yap ABC where there's a whole array of cooling delicious drinks to choose from, for a change I ordered the magic chocolate shake, my usual is the ais cendol which is very good indeed, not that there were any complaints about the shake. Slurpalicious!!!
 

I ordered the nasi goreng which comes with a whole heap of ingredients, pork, sausage, chicken, fish cake slice and egg, stir fried in a hot smoking wok. For me though nothing beats the mee goreng here, a must try dish in my opinion!

 

The Little Nibbler loves porky noodles and opted for the gon lau mee, not the best in her opinion but a satisfying noodle dish all the same.

 

A very delicious and chocolatey Magic Chocolate Shake from Ah Yap ABC, along with a bottle of water.

 

Ah Ling & Ah Yap located side by side at Taman Tun Fuad Stephens.

 

The Bill : 1x Nasi Goreng, 1x Gon Lau Mee, 1x Chocolate Shake, 1x Water = 14 MYR

If cheap, tasty and satisfying are important to you, then you can do a lot worse then head on down to Tun Fuad Stephens Park at Bukit Padang.

Laksa @ Kampung Nelayan -Taman Tun Fuad Stephens

I don't know why but I had high hopes for my breakfast this morning from Kampung Nelayan. Maybe it was the 6MYR price tag for Laksa and the impressive picture on the menu 'for illustration purposes only' (I have to add). But the Laksa was definitely lacking, and one thing in particular........prawns! For 6 dollars I expect more than 2 prawns in my Laksa! (I counted 5 on the menu, 'for illustration purposes only' and that wasn't the whole bowl!) Slightly misleading I think!!! But what you did get was a large bowl of dark, spicy soup with lots of noodles, beancurd puffs, shredded chicken and omelette. Taste wise though, it was just ok and unfortunately lacked that wow factor you get with a well cooked Laksa.

Kampung Nelayan is located at Taman Tun Fuad Stephens, Bukit Padang. On a positive note I must add that the restaurant is very nice and atmospheric, I'm sure it's lovely in the evenings, also the staff are very smart, friendly and attentive. 

The Bill : 1x Laksa, 1x Kit Chai Ping = 8.30MYR

I think I'll stick to Coffee Shops for my Laksa fix in future, but I'm not going to write Kampung Nelayan off, as a great actor once said 'I'll be back' 

Ais Cendol @ Ah Yap ABC - Taman Tun Fuad Stephens

Is there anything better on a hot sunny day than an Ais Cendol? Well an ice cold beer maybe! Haha 
I love this drinks and dessert stall at Taman Tun Fuad Stephens, everything I've sampled here is fantastic! I've tried a few of their ice blended drinks in the past but recently my pick has been Ais Cendol, a truly Malaysian marvel! Green worm-like jelly topped with shaved ice, then topped with dark, caramel, palm sugar syrup and then filled to the brim with coconut milk, wow!

Ah Yap ABC is located in the car park, alongside Gerai Mee Goreng Ah Ling.

The Bill : 1x Ais Cendol 2.50 MYR

Need cooling down on a hot day? If the answer's yes or you just fancy something cold and sweet, head down to Ah Yap ABC you'll be pleased you did!

Mee Goreng @ Gerai Mee Goreng Ah Ling - Taman Tun Fuad Stephens

Is this the best Mee Goreng in KK? Quite possibly would be my answer! This was my first time eating at this hawker stall at Taman Tun Fuad Stephens, it wont be my last! Many times I've witnessed the lady at her cooking station with smoke billowing from her wok, you just know her food is going to have that smoky, savoury taste that awesome stir fried food should have.
With a choice of noodles I opted for yellow mee, these were stir fried with mixed pork, chinese chives, egg and beansprouts. Truly a delicious dish prepared in seconds!

You can see Ah Yap ABC in the background.

Gerai Mee Goreng Ah Ling is located in the car park at Taman Tun Fuad Stephens, along with other hawker stalls. Opens from around lunchtime.

A master at work!

The Bill : 1x Mee Goreng 5 MYR

Fantastic tasting noodles, join the crowds and see the smoke!

Spring Onion & Ginger Fish Slice @ Tun Fuad Park Hawker Centre - Taman Tun Fuad Stephens

I have to say the fish used in this dish really wasn't to my liking, which is a shame because the Spring Onion and Ginger Sauce was really flavourful. I also liked the use of thickly sliced white onion, for me you can never have too much onion!

The Little Nibbler opted for Curry Laksa with Chicken. Although it didn't look great, it tasted a lot better. The Laksa was spicy with real curry flavour, plenty of chicken breast and beancurd puff topped with beansprouts. 

Tun Fuad Park Hawker Centre is located on the path that runs alongside the lake. During early mornings and early evenings the park comes alive with walkers, joggers, runners and all manner of exercise groups keeping fit in the great outdoors.

From what I can gather there's three vendors operating here, Tong Sum Food, Dom's Food and Jin Jin Food.

Views of the lake from the outside eating area.

The Bill : 1x Spring Onion & Ginger Fish Slice, 1x Curry Laksa, 1x Kopi C Ping, 1x Ice Lemon Tea = 18.40 MYR

Tuan Fuad Park Hawker Centre is a great place to refuel and rehydrate after exercising with the masses most mornings and early evenings.
