No matter how busy I was during my work
related course in KK, me and my partner made sure that we’d stopped by the
locally famous Imago Shopping Mall because I was eager to try out their Food Street as it
was not available during my last visit. The modern version on a Chinese hawker
style dining food court is situated on the top floor of said mall, opposite the
MBO cinema. At first glance, the place might be geared more towards Chinese
cuisines but rest assured that that is not the case. They were enough variety
for everyone to enjoy their food (although by the looks of it, around 80% of
the people running the stalls were probably Chinese anyway).
We were there during lunch hour so the
place was packed with customers but luckily there were a few seats available.
It has a free seating concept so no worries on ‘accidentally’ seating where you
shouldn’t have. After scanning the choices available, we decided to try out the
only 2 stalls that had provided Malay style cooking. My partner decided to
order Tenggiri + Lala rice set from this stall called Belacan’s while I’d went
for Nasi Mandy Arab from the stall next door named Lesung Mas. Looking at the
pictures below, you would’ve expected my partner’s dish to have a dynamite
taste but instead what we got was a ‘belacan’ (shrimp paste) based sauce that
was surprisingly in dire need of salt. Mine was worse, what with the very
undercooked and still in their ‘beras’ state rice and the tasteless and dry
chicken. Not a good first impression indeed.
Another thing that I would like to comment
on is regarding the drinks. I would like to suggest to the management team to
provide a drinking station. Right now, almost all of the stalls sold their own
drinks independently and were limited to some mineral waters and soft drinks.
We initially thought that there’s a drinking station somewhere within the
premise so we did not bought any drinks from the stalls that we’d visited. We
ended up going back to the same stalls to buy some mineral waters separately.
