Spicy Beef and Pork Soup
It was a fabulous relaxing afternoon on a normal weekday where I was tucked well to my chair waited anxiously to be pampered. I was excited that I shared the table with a food entrepreneur and owner of The Taste Enclave Mr Willie Tay, at Avenue K Kuala Lumpur.
Belting with 18years of experience in the F&B industry, Mr Willie Tay a Singapore bred has a vast experience in F&B management specialising in food court management. He too founded Skinny Pig Pte Ltd in 2009, an F&B consultancy in Singapore which offered services to the booming industry in the Little Red Dot. He also took on the challenge of setting up various chains of food courts in Shanghai, Malaysia and of course, Singapore. I just loved listening his huge experience especially in setting up his food ventures and in search of selecting the right food
Once we were seated comfortably, dishes came flowing in. I got to confess it was fun to see dishes marching in. The first dish came already caught my attending like a bulging eye balls popping out, yes a gorgeous spiked red bowl of spicy beef and pork soup noodle at RM17.90. The sliced beef and pork had a awesome biting texture, tenderly and flavourful. The broth brewed well to my liking and paired well with the rice noodle, it was tasty and caught with great dismay. Fabulous, it will definitely be a great pick. The stall that provide such a fantastic treats is Y-Thu Wendy Vietnam located at Stall 1. I was informed that the owner of this stall hailed from Vietnam, and had established 5 outlets on food courts across Singapore and her main aim is to serve her customers hearty, authentic Vietnamese food. Signature dishes here would be Wendy’s Special Mango Salad, Wendy’s Special Pomelo Salad, Charcoal Grilled Pork Chop or Chicken Chop, “Hu Tieu” Rice Noodle with Pork & Seafood and Net Spring Rolls.

Stall No 21 Beef Noodle at Stall 4 dished up a lovely bowl of trip beef soup with beef balls accompanied a bowl of dry dark soy noodle topped with fragrant minced meat sauce at RM9.00. The texture of the strings of noodle was nice and had a soft touch of crunchiness while the fragrant dark soy mince meat stole the show. The tripe was done to tender and the pop crisp springy texture of the beef ball truly played with my tasting. I do noticed the noodle must be eaten while it is still warm for a better mouth texture. The broth was beefy that suited my liking.

Traying over from stall 15 was a set of “Nasi Ayam Singapura” Singapore Chicken Rice at RM12.80. I loved the look of my poached chicken that came with a shin yellow skin and it was crisp done. The chicken had nice moist biting texture and flavoured with a homemade supreme soy sauce to enhance the taste of the chicken, accompanied by a plate of well grain fragrant rice and poached bak choy.
Assorted Seafood Teppanyaki
Having being to comfort to the spit we were seated, we decided to order an assortment seafood Teppanyaki at RM22.90 form the mini restaurant Grandeur Teppanyaki.

The chicken rice was adorable, rice was fluffy, with added sliced Chinese pork sausage it truly make my day. Huen Kee Claypot Chicken Rice at RM10.00 too came with wholesome salted fish.

It was fragrant and had great bits of pork cracker infused into the noodle.

Roti Prata
The Jalan Kayu Prata produces one of the most delicious buttery, rich and yet crisp, this Roti Prata was at only RM3.20. It was so adorable and making each bite taste even better. Having to soak bits and pieces of the Roti Prata into the sauce makes it tastes even better. Definitely great Roti and accompanied with delicious fish curry gravy. As for the Rojak at RM11.60 tasted as good too, it contained of a variety of fried Indian crullers include hard boiled eggs, beancurd and squid. The peanut sauce for the rojak came piping warm was really perfectly done that truly suits my taste. Delicious Briyani Crab and Gum Briyani Chicken/Mutton can be found at Jalan Kayu Prata.
