Lunch @ Madam Kwan's, Pavilion






Last Saturday, SY and I were both in Pavilion to catch Definitely, Maybe starring Ryan Reynolds and Rachel Weiss (dunno who the rest of the casts were). Before the movie, we walked around on the shiny tiled floors of the complex browsing for lunch and finally came to an agreement. We headed to Madam Kwan's.

Madam Kwan's is synonymous with their Nasi Bojari. A tri-coloured spiced rice served with a huge piece of crispy fried chicken thigh, a portion of prawn sambal and beef rendang. We both ordered the same entree'... and it didn't dissapoint one bit. SY also suggested that we have their bean sprouts stir fried with salted fish. Another double thumbs up for this veg dish. The bean sprouts were crunchy to the bite and complimented real well by the tiny bits of salted fish scattered abundantly about.

For desserts, SY had the ice campur (ABC) while I opted for the sago gula melaka. The ice campur came in a huge generous serving ... refreshing shaved ice topped with peanuts, cendol, kidney beans, jello etc and drizzled heavily with sweet syrup and evaporated milk. Just the way ice campur ought to traditionally be. My sago received the BIG OK from the both of us too. Rich and creamy, the sago were of a very bouncy texture. Squishing it inside your mouth is akin to chewing on bubble wraps. It's not everyday you get to savour something that's yummy and fun too. Haha. I also had their iced chinese tea and it came served in it's individual porcelain pot. Nice touch.

Huge meh??? Sometimes not enough leh. Kekeke. You can actually order the fried chicken separately you know ... but I think that alone cost RM7-8 if I'm not mistaken. :)

Oh really? But the fried chicken is nice. Don't think I'll want to separate it out from the nasi, hahaha.
