Coffee Shop Style, Restaurant Food

I read with some apprehension about the Fish Head Curry restaurant in Sabah wanting to sue the guy who blogged about how blend the food was. So, I have decided to only feature places that I have found to be okay food wise. No sense in having to go to court just because we blab too much!

Food R Us at Queen's Road offers coffee shop style ambience with restaurant style food. One can get simple, relatively cheap tasty one dish food or go for a more elaborate spread, reasonably priced.

We had a 4-table family lunch there recently. We started with the Chinese New Year Lo Hei platter with smoked salmon. It was a good starter. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. As we had some American cousins visiting, we ordered the roast chicken which was very tender and tasty. Also, for their benefit, we had the sweet sour fillet fish. (This is so nothing comes out with heads attached, eyes staring blankly into space. Can freak some people out!) This was pleasant tasting and had enough of the tangy taste to make it appetizing.

Their ever popular long beans with garlic (sans dried shrimps and cut chili because of the children) was done just right and was still crispy. Their home made tou fu was the wrong order (our fault). It was the normal clay pot tau fu which was okay. We had wanted their special "shuang bau" (double treasure) tou fu which has bits of dried shrimp and preserved radish which gives it a lovely taste.

The salted egg prawns (shelled) was a new taste for most of us. It had enough saltiness and richness to the dish. The "hak min" (black noodles) was as good as the ones I ate in KL. So really, no need to drive so far away for a tasty meal of black noodles.

We rounded off the lunch with platters of fresh fruits which included water melon, jack fruit and red dragon fruit. They serve a variety of drinks from hot coffee (kopi tiam style) tea and fresh fruit juices. Go for the avocado drink - thick and yummy. BURP!
