New restaurant in town at the newest and interesting location in town. Mambo Kings at the Travilion although quite a number of people refer it to KTLD.
A lot of people recommended Mambo Kings so off I went to have lunch with my usual work-weekend pal, Lam. Or more like, I drag her along with me but she’s always a good sport to come eating with me on my food adventures during the weekend. Well, when it’s the working weekend that is. We usually try to eat at a new place during the weekends that we work. Excuse to go for a 2-hr long lunch break.
Onto the meals. Drinks always served first. Tropicana Frappe. I remember there was pineapples inside as well as some bananas. Can’t remember anything else! Woooppps! Errrm…ok, for a fruit juice drink it’s a wee bit on the high side of RM7.50 (USD1.97) which is about the same price of coffee at Coffee Bean, I think. I did enjoy it it a lot that I finished the whole drink. It was delicious! Healthy too!
Lam and I had the Prawn Noodles. Me with normal mee, her with Bee Hoon. It was tasty although not quite the same as the West Malaysian version. Something was missing but I couldn’t pinpoint what. It was generous fillings though although one has to be careful when eating this soup dish. There’s two holes by the side of the bowl that will tipped out the soup if one is not careful. How much? RM7.50 (USD1.97). Ok, don’t faint. It’s an air-conditioned restaurant so definitely more than the normal hawker prices. Still, it was a refreshing change from the normal hawker food i.e. less oily.
Chicken Mambo Salad i.e. chicken slices with fresh lettuces and raisins and walnuts with a touch of Thousand Island Dressing. RM9.00 (USD2.37).
All in all, it was a nice place to have a quiet meal. Lunch was pretty empty but dinner time is usually pack. Especially during the weekends, I’m sure. And that was my lunch today. Next week, another lunch spot elsewhere.
