Charco @ AMK ave 5

Read abt this place on the "I" magazine, did some googling, and found out that Charco is like kenny roger in a neighbourhood kopitiam, the same style but at a cheaper price... and its location used to be where botak jones was!

So we went to check it out. Indeed, it does resembles Kenny Roger with its range of side dishes which can be served with 1/4,1/2 or whole chicken. Get to choose up to 3 side dishes, no muffins though. It happend to be Monday and there was this promotion where you can get 2 sets of 1/4 chickens+3 sides at $15.90 instead of the usual $17, so we ordered that.

I ordered the egg salad, greek salad (tomatoes, chilli peppers and cucumbers) and potato salad, whereas bf ordered chicken avocado (sliced chicken in avocado sauce), potato salad and cole slaw. Out of all the sides, I liked the egg salad and potato salad. Generous serving too, too much for me though. As for the chicken, eventhough the meat is tender and not dry, it doesn't feel tasty...it was like the sauce is just at the skin and did not penetrate to the meat. Still prefer kenny roger's chicken. But at the price we are paying for this, guess it is still pretty worth it. I guess the next time we will just order 1 set and then order another burger or that kebah-whatever...6 sides are too much for us :P

    Gonbei Fine Japanese Cuisine

    Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.

    I'm not sure exactly where the original Leong Kee moved to, but I believe the one at Sultan Gate is still there. I also saw one at junction of Jln Besar and Hindoo road. Just at the junction before beancurd city

    Leong Kee (Klang) Bak Kut Teh 梁记(巴生) 肉骨茶 @ Geylang
    CyberTron commented..
    hi! The bak kut teh at this place is Klang style. If you refering to the peppery style Bak Kut Teh you typically find in Singapore, then this is not the place for you. For the peppery style one, the famous ones are probably ones are Balestier Road or the one at Tanjong Pagar complex. For me, I usually just go to Song Fa at Rochor which is decent for me, and more convenient as well.

    I don't remember if i'd ever come across cheap and nice seafood in KL...I suggest you to plan a trip to Sabah, that's really what I call heaven for seafood lovers. ;-)
