Student food in Sunway Food Court.

I used to hang around at Sunway food court, near Sunway College, the area with many, many car work shops. We love to have lunch there not because the food is great, but my friends enjoy "site seeing" while having their meal. Scenery is fantastic, especially for us "ma lat lou".

There was an evening when I passed thru the area, I noticed a stall still open at night with many people sitting having their dinner.

Only one pretty girl this time, but I stopped and decided to try out.



We ordered Sinchew Bihun, Loh mee and the ultimate chicken soup. You can guess which dish was my favorite. It sure be the chicken soup. Taste great with herbs everywhere and sweet soup.

The rest? Please do not fool with my great picture taking skill laaa...

Marco's Pizza

It was until that day I came to learned that not all restaurant people welcome anybody bringing camera into their premises, taking picture freely (especially when it was nicely renovated). I guess they are concerning of leaking their concept to any competitor, or simply felt unrespected with my Chinaman kampung style of behavior.

I went in - look left - look right - sat down - order food - snapped photos - ate my meal - talked loud - gave comments - looked around - snapped more photos ... Waiter came - politely asked me what am I doing? - I told him I like the place, wanna take photos to introduce to my friends - he said it was against the policy - politely gave me a name card for contact of approval - I said sorry and thanks - paid the bill - went back and email to the restaurant manager...

So, this is my first post, which obtain full authorization from the restaurant management. I feel proud, and finally I am following procedure, rules and regulations. I feel professional, although I am just an amateur kaki makan who likes to share good food to his friends.

Why I took all the hazard to post this? And not obmit it and delete all my "blood sweat" photos? I thought it is a very nice and special pizza house.

The restaurant is newly open, situated at the opposite of Kelana Jaya LRT station. Big sign board, very easy to locate.


You will feel the different the moment you enter. It was nicely renovated, classy and very up market feel. Spacious, nice tables and sofa, big screen plasma TV, live pizza making, etc. (too bad I was not allow to take those photos).

The aircond was cold so that you can hug your honey tide.

The food served was very well presented. Nice to see, good to eat as well.

We had a Hawaiian pizza. It was stuffed with tones of pineapples, chicken sausages and mushrooms. I hardly felt the pie. But the cheese abit less. Maybe I forgot to ask for extra cheese.



Prior to that, we had our wild mushroom soup. It really wild and yummy! I could taste lots of mushroom, very less starchy feel.



Our garlic bread was special. I never thought they will make it on round shape, just like another pizza lookalike.



I had also chicken salad and I love the taste. Not very sour. Fresh vegetables. Sweet chicken slices. Portion just nice and I felt very healthy.


Oh! Their coffee was nicely done also.


Price, reasonable. Worth trying if you want to have an alternative to those very commercial style of pizza house.

Note:

Boo_licious from masak-masak had tried it and post some good comments. She had taken some nice pictures showing how they make their pizza.
Funny, I was also after a hard day work (not so smooth) and found the place.

However, Jon Lee from Wantan production had different oppinion.

There is a big pizza outlet chain call Marco's Pizza in The States. Besides that, there are many other pizza house using the same name (just google marco's pizza and you will amazed). Wonder why? I had no idea.

Map to Chemur for the great seafood noodle.

As promised in my previous post, I had done some REALLY hard work to come up with a map and hope it helps.

To go to Chemur is easy (actually my famous Tokong is located in Chemur also, but I kept mistaken it was Sg Siput). After exit from Ipoh Selatan toll of PLUS highway, take the road towards Tasek and Tanjung Rambutan (you will see Makro near the junction). If you follow the road all the way before reaching Sg Siput, there is a small town Chemur along the road.

Along the main road, there are 2 rows of old shop houses (right and left). The restaurant Hong Wan is at the back row of the shops, which is at your left hand side (if you are from the direction of Ipoh).
