Kedai Makan Upin & Ipin

Our long walk from Berjaya Times Square to Sungei Wang Plaza in search for Tom Yam came to a stumble block when we arrived at the food court noticing that most of the shops are done for the day. SiChanteq could not hide her frustrated face and all the way down she was frowning. The baby wants Tom Yam she said, another way of her putting it when she craves for a specific menu.

We made our way out of the building and not far from the front entrance, I stopped her to look at the menu display outside of what seems to be a restaurant selling local food. She said let's.

Upin & Ipin is an award winning television series of animated shorts produced by Les' Copaque Production  which features the life and adventures of the eponymous twin brothers in a fictional Malaysian village (wiki). They have won the hearts of many of their young fans.

The restaurant environment is something between a theme park restaurant and a nursery. Most of their patrons are families with little children.

None of the children could sit still.

We were greeted by a foreign waiter who handed us the menu, an order chit and a pencil. The menu was very straight forward but I noticed that some of the food seemed to be slightly overpriced. We went for the Nasi Ayam and the Mee Rebus.

The waiter returned to update us that the kitchen crew had just finished up the ingredients to make a Mee Rebus and suggested that we go for either the Mee Soto or Assam Laksa (that was the only thing left from the Mee section). He walked back to the kitchen after we decided to try their Laksa.

It did not take long for the Laksa to arrive.

It was kinda frustrating to learn that it did not come with the half of a hard boiled egg and what frustrated me even more was that instead of thick gravy of fine fish meat, the Laksa came with I think is chunks of sardines. Thats cheating. 

SiChanteq seemed to like the taste.

Her Nasi Ayam took forever to arrive. 

But when it did, she found out that the rice, chicken, and soup was cold. She was given drumstick when she wrote Chicken Breast at the Remarks section on the order chit.

This restaurant, one of many in Klang Valley, also has the Upin Ipin merchandise arranged neatly, ready for sale.

The helmets on the bottom shelf are not for sale.
