I'm sure lots of people know the famous Nasi Lemak from Madam Kwan, it's one of their in-house specialty which is well known to all.
Madam Kwan is local franchise brand and it's spreading out 5 branches across famous shopping mall around Kuala Lumpur. If you are looking for a nice place to try out Malaysian local dishes, Madam Kwan is the perfect place although the prices are a bit pricey. I would call this restaurant a high-end hawker restaurant! They have all sorts of Malaysian food from their famous nasi lemak to Chinese style chicken rice to Indian style fish head curry and local desserts. Good place to bring friends from abroad to sample local cuisines!
The restaurant has an upmarket look but without trying to be too pretentious, walking a fine line between Asian and Western style decor. The waitresses and waiters are all smartly dressed and guests are served with glasses of strawberry scented cold water.
I, mom and Joanne visited their branch restaurant at KLCC after we have done our shopping. This is my second time in Madam Kwan's. It's located at the 4th floor of Suria KLCC. It was early evening, I noticed that the place wasn’t packed with many people. However I saw a group of people were talking to the waiter, and the waiter was flipping a reservation book and tried to made reservation for them. No doubt, because it was Ramadan. Customer needs to make prior booking to dine in for buka puasa. We were lucky, as the waiter allowed us to go in because it was still early (around 5.30pm).
As I mentioned, most of the foods served in Madam Kwan are very local delights and It's not exactly a cheap place for food. I can get a plate of Nasi Lemak less than RM6 but why people still go to Madam Kwan for Nasi Lemak? For sure have a reason mah.. When tons of people said the Nasi Lemak in Madam Kwan is good, then it must be really good, earning the good reputation!
The rice was absolutely delicious, fragrant and not too oily! The sambal ikan bilis and curry chicken was very good too, complement nicely with the rice. Adding the sambal ikan bilis and curry chicken into every spoon into your mouth boost up the sensation. I really don’t know how to describe it, try out yourself. I love it and you might probably love it too!
The Madam Kwan's specialty Nasi Lemak (RM15.30). The rice was fragrant alright and not too oily. Served with curry chicken, sambal ikan bilis, dried shrimp floss, and hard boiled egg. Acar (Nyonya styled salad) that's served together with the Nasi Lemak.
Char Kway Teow (RM15.90). It consisted of flat rice noodles fried with chicken, bean sprouts, sotong, egg and crunchy prawns.
Spaghetti Alfrado (RM18.90) This Spaghetti Alfrado is served with turkey ham and in white sauce. Simple it may look but my mom said it is good and the white sauce was really rich.
