Otak-Otak Place - Two sisters taking over

It was a day out with my sister to 1 Utama. The purpose for this outing was to hunt for last minute Christmas gift. And yes, Christmas was on the very next day. Talk about last minute.

But before we put on our shopping gear, we had to feed ourselves first. And trust me, with the amount of people at the shopping mall, we'll need all the energy we can get to fight with those people.

Otak-otak Place, some of you heard of it, and some of you think i'm talking about the banana-leaf-wraped fish. Although they do sell otak-otak, this is a restuarant every old-school people would love!

Why?

(didn't get to take this picture cuz there were so many people passing through!)
Please don't sue me for this picture!

Besides, the classic black China bicycles being the center of attention, this place is packed with retro-vintage stuff. There were old oil-lamps, cassettes (yes, the very same old tape we used to have before the VCD era came around), classic water flask (like the one in our grandmother's house), and lots more. And not to mention some of my personal favourite childhood games - five-stone aka Batu Seremban, bottle caps and Congkak!

LMAO! Even my dad don't have these!

Bottle caps and card that i'm not too sure how to play
(but there are instructions on how to play it on the tissue box)

Congkak! My all time favourite!

You can play it while waiting for your food or if you have time to spare, after your meal!

My sis recommended this place for lunch cuz she said the food was, quote, "Not bad lah..."

The food was indeed, not bad (minus the lah)! I love the way they served some of their food. For example, they serve their nasi lemak in the classic stainless steal tiffin carrier and their fish head noodle in the claypot! So cute!

Barley (RM2.50 - Hot)
Your normal barley drink. I like the fact that they weren't stingy
with their barley like how some restaurants are.

Milo (RM3.80 - Cold )
Your classic cup or rather, glass of Milo kau!

Ayam Perchik with nasi lemak (RM9.90)
Mmm... the rice is very fragrant like our
local mak cik's nasi lemak rice. The chicken is tender and meaty.
But what i love so much about this dish is their sambal!
Their sambal is delicious! There's ikan bilis (anchovies) in it.
Maybe to those who like spicy won't fancy it cuz it's not very spicy.

Sorry for the blurness... :(
Fish Head Noodle (RM9.90)
To me personally, i think i can get a better bowl of fish head noodles.
The fish given was mostly bones, there weren't much meat.
It's a so-so dish for me.

Before i forget, their menu is so, so, so totally 100% old-skool! But caution, for those who have bad school memories or is after their SPM, you may not find this appealing as i do. Their menu is printed on our classic school note book! Or should i say, buku latihan / buku nota!


It's very different compared to the ordinary printed hard cardboard menu.

Overall, i love the food, i love the ambience, and not to mention, their service is fast!

Many faces of my sister. She's gonna kill me if she sees this.
Note: That's why it's so small... LOL!

P.S.: This is based on personal liking and taste. It may vary with different people.


Cheers!
