Taman Desa Food Court, Kuala Lumpur

Hawker food these days in Malaysia are surely going to the dumps. Tell me one food court that is good in Kuala Lumpur and if I agree, I'll give you a RM100. 90% of the stalls in town are all manned by foreigners, mainly Burmese. (Now that Burma is called Myamar, I really don't know what to call them.) I reckon that in 10 years when Myamar is free, all of them will go back and if we want to have Malaysian hawker food, we'll have to fly there.
The Taman Desa food court is no exception. It is the only food court in the place and I reckon that the only reason why they still have business is that there is ample parking. Nothing is fabulous or even worth wasting bandwidth on. The chicken rice stall is ok only because his price is reasonable and the portions are adequate. The Thai food stall used to be good until the cooks were displaced. The prawn dumpling is not bad but the attitude of the old man there..something to dispute next time. 

Servings pretty good and for RM5.50, it's a good deal.

The classic story of the place is the char kueh teow stall. A couple of years back, the owner put up a huge notice saying that if it's not good, we will refund you. He was pretty good then, no complaints. He had a great Indonesian helper too. Everything went downfall, when the helper left and in came his PRC girl friend. After a few months, the poor old Casanova was dumped and he could not fry his kueh teow anymore. After numerous refunds, he just could not hack it anymore. (By the way, I heard this from some aunty there.)


Anyway, it's the only place in Taman Desa that you can find more variety albeit the quality.
As I said, which food court in KL is good after all.


Another one bites the dust!
