Fat Rock Cafe, Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur


We are regulars here, and every time we want to come dine here, I'll say, "Let's go see Uma Thurman". You see, there's a waitress here who bears a striking resemblance to the actress, all slender and willowy to boot.

This time we tried the nam yee deep fried chicken. It was superb, crispy outside with the salty taste of nam yee, yet juicy and tender inside. One of our more inspired choices.

Fat Rock, in my opinion, serves the best pai kwat wong in the Klang Valley. They use boneless pork chops for this dish. The meat is succulent, and the best part is the thick sticky gravy that coats the entire piece of meat. The taste of that gravy has not been replicated anywhere else, including our own kitchen. It has a hint of curry powder in the midst of the usual sweet and sour tanginess. Simply excellent!

Hubby is a fan of baby long beans, so we ordered it. Pretty simple, stir fried with garlic.

The bill came up to RM32.80 which is normal when dining here. The good cooking makes it worth it. Some of my other favourite dishes here are the sambal belacan petai prawns and marmite (boneless) chicken. Truly yummy!

As far as regular tai chows go, this place is definitely a 4-bam.

food used to be good, but recently it is becoming tasteless and they are becoming more expensive every year for a cafe without aircond. Sad to say this, used to be a fan of this joint for more than 20 years but i'm disappointed with its drop in quality.

Agree with CCC!
Not only is it very expensive but the food is tasteless!
It is also extremely unhygenic!
Recently, I ordered takeaway food and found that it used newspapers with a very thin plastic sheet inside!
Never, ever patronise this deplorable shop again!
