Nasi Campur @ Fatimah Cafe - Tanjung Aru Plaza

Lunch today was at Fatimah Cafe, a busy eatery in Tanjung Aru. This was my first time eating here and after today I think it may well be a regular of my lunchtime venues! After having a good look at the nasi campur, I selected black pepper beef, stir fried four angled beans and aubergine. The food quality was top notch and tasted great. Aromatic black pepper sauce goes so well with beef along with onions and peppers, the four angled beans were cooked to perfection and still crisp and the aubergine was very tasty too, with (luckily for me) only a slight hint of belacan. 
My top tip for eating nasi campur - eat early, the foods fresher and easier to get to!

Fatimah Cafe is located at the front entrance of Tanjung Aru Plaza, along Jalan Mat. Salleh.

The Bill : 1x Nasi Campur, 1x Ice Lemon Tea = 8 MYR

See you next week Fatimah Cafe!

Nasi Campur @ Ang's - Downtown

Ang's is one of many great Chinese restaurants here in KK, most evenings the place is packed inside and outside, with people waiting to get in. Not only that it's packed at lunchtime too, with people eating in and ordering tapau.
So today I joined the luchtime crowds for the first time and jostled for my position at the counter! I ordered chicken wings, aubergine and omelette and wow was it tasty! Chicken wings came sweet and sticky, the aubergine was stir-fried in sweet soy sauce and the omelette had a smoky, savoury taste with green beans and onion. Simple and delicious.
  

Ang's is open lunchtime and evenings. Just look for the crowds located Downtown opposite Wisma Merdeka.

The Bill : 1x Nasi Campur, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 6 MYR

Great food at great prices = Lunchtime @ Ang's

Nasi Campur @ Fong IP Cafe - Jalan Gaya

I've decided that i should eat more vegetables recently, so todays lunch was meat free (well apart from the sauce from the chicken curry!). This was the first time I'd eaten at Fong IP Cafe, previously coming in only for drinks. Have to say I really enjoyed my meal today, rice covered in said curry sauce, stir fried green beans with chilli, carrot and egg and what I'm going to describe as Thai Fried Tofu, basically deep fried tofu topped with shredded cucumber, thai chilli sauce and ground peanuts. I was so happy with my pick, as you know Nasi Campur can go horribly wrong for me!!! But today it was sedap! Yum Yum !!!

My meal today was washed down with a nice cold 3 Layered Teh.

Fong IP Cafe is located along Jalan Gaya occupying a large corner lot.

The Bill : Nasi Campur, 3 Layered Teh = 7 MYR

Large spotless Cafe with great people watching location on Jalan Gaya and to top this off only 3.50 MYR for the tasty campur!!!

Nasi Campur @ Liew Chai Vegetarian - Centre Point

A Nasi Campur that I know I'm not going to find any hidden 'extra parts' simply because it's all vegetarian!
Liew Chai Vegetarian is probably my second favourite place to eat at Centre Point's Food Court. With lots of curries, stir fries, and tofu dishes to choose from there's definitely no chance of accidently stumbling across, say liver, yuk yuk yuk!

Today's pick was a bit of a green bean feast! Stir fried green beans with some kind of mock meat, a really tasty omelette with sliced green beans and a wonderful creamy coconut curry of fried beancurd puffs and you guessed it, green beans! All on top of nasi putih alongside a small bowl of vegetable broth, washed down with chinese teh ping.

Liew Chai Vegetarian is located in Centre Point's basement Food Court occupying a corner lot near the middle.

The Bill : Nasi Campur, Chinese Teh Ping 5.50 MYR

In England great food and shopping malls are two things that don't go hand in hand. Not so, here in Malaysia and KK, it's often where some of the tastiest food is found at an affordable price. If veggies are your thing head to Liew Chai and fill your boots!

Nasi Campur @ Fook Yuen Cafe & Bakery - Jalan Gaya

It's Nasi Campur time again, but this time not so much russian roulette as I must admit to having this meal once before at Fook Yuen!
My pick today as before was nasi putih, curry taufu pok, stir fried okra or ladies finger topped with a fried egg. 
Dare I say it? Delicious! My one and only complaint is that the curry sauce is like water with no substance to it at all, now maybe this is the recipe but I for one would like a thicker sauce. It tastes nice and spicy as all curry should do and I love the fried stuffed tofu. The okra was well cooked and not too slimy, I think this is what puts people off okra, the slime! A sunny side up tops off the meal, how can you possibly go wrong?

 

There's a few branch's of Fook Yuen Cafe & Bakery located around town, this one is at the far end of Gaya Street closest to the Tourist Information Centre.

The Bill : 1x Nasi Campur, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 5.70MYR

Fook Yuen is large, clean and has a large variety of food.

With economy breakfast, dim sum, nasi campur, a bakery and drinks menu it's a great place to come, during breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Nasi Campur @ Super Faezah Cafeteria - Centre Point

Nasi Campur for me is like the Malaysian Russian Roulette of makan, sometimes you just don't know what you're going to get. Even though there's often vigorous pointing "Ayam ayam, ikan ikan" by a friendly smiling server it's still quite often a mystery. Is there going to be dried fish hidden in the veggies? Is that nice looking piece of meat going to turn out to be liver? Oh no I hope not! I guess this is where local tastes and mine differ.

But saying that Nasi Campur offers a fantastic range of great tasting food from meat to vegetables, seafood to salads cooked in a multitude of styles. Its a great way to sample many of Malaysia's awesome tasting food, at a very reasonable price. All you have to do is help yourself or point, I love it.

Super Faezah's Nasi Campur is huge, it has lots and lots to choose from and many people do, its always packed at lunchtime which is never a bad sign.

I have to say, its not one of my favourites though, local people love it and I'm not going to argue with the tastebuds of people from KK, but for me its not the best. Maybe Im just picking the wrong dish, I'll just have to go back and keep trying.

For todays pick I had the obligatory nasi putih, omelette, green veggies and chicken. 

The omelette was plain but very tasty, not too sure what the green veggies are called but they were stir fried with carrot and egg and tasted ok, I always like to pick at least one portion of greens, as it makes me feel like I'm being healthy! At first glance I thought the chicken was in a sweet and sour sauce but when I tasted it, it also had a real kick of chilli, fab, just what I like. The chicken however was tough, at one point I feared for my fellow diners, as I wrestled to get some of the meat off with my spoon and fork thinking at any moment it would fly off my plate and hit someone in the eye! Thankfully it didn't and everyone went home unscathed.

Super Faezah Cafeteria is located in Centre Point's Food Court on the basement floor, you cant miss it for the crowds jostling for a place around the food and the bright light neon signs.

With so much choice at Super Fraezah Cafeteria and other food outlets, Centre Point's Food Court is well worth a visit any mid morning, lunch or afternoon.
