Vary Pasta in Damansara Jaya

It’s not only Very Pasta, but it’s Vary Pasta.

Often, we would pass by this place but never ventured inside. Once, we even stopped outside to browse the menu, but our stomachs were craving for something Asian.

Today, we finally had lunch at Vary Pasta in Damansara Jaya

How to get to Vary Pasta

Vary Pasta is quietly hidden at the corner along Jalan SS 22/23. If you missed it, it’s just next to Five Fingers | Vegetarian Cafe Damansara Jaya and few doors down from Restaurant Kampung Seafood Parit Jawa.

If you’re driving, you can park on the street parking around or in Atria Shopping Gallery. There’s ample parking space in the basement and upper levels of the mall.

Alternatively, you can always Grab to the East Entrance of Atria and then walk up the road to Vary Pasta.

Vary Pasta

From the name, it sounds very much like an Italian restaurant. 

Once inside, the decor gives off a very mid-Western and Italian vibe. Like you see in the movies, it has a feeling of nostalgia and oldies vibe.

Menu and Food

Looking at the menu, they’ve an interesting and unique food recommendations. This is not your usual Western food restaurant. 

If you’re craving for meat, there’s Vary’s Recommendation: mix sausage platter, pork gammon steak, roasted pork knuckle, and pork meat loaf. If you want some seafood to go with your meat, there’s the mix grilled platter (chicken, pork, lamb, sausage, prawns, and mussel).

If you want something European, they’ve German pork sausages and Paella. The German pork sausages are cooked and served in different styles. The Paella, you can have it with chicken mushroom, pork mushroom, or seafood.

And as the name suggests, they also have pasta in various sauces and cooked in variety of styles. The pastas are cooked in garlic sauce, tomato sauce, or creamy and cheesy sauce. If you don’t want to eat with meat, there’s also vegetarian pasta. 

Instead, we chose our food from the set lunch menu. After choosing the main dish, you can choose the sides and drinks. The side is either soup of the day or salad. The drink is either ice lemon tea or tea (hot or cold).

That day, the soup of the day was potato soup.

We had grilled chicken chop served with spaghetti and fries, and pan-seared salmon fillet with butter rice.

Lan Je Restaurant in Subang Jaya

You guessed it, it’s Chinese New Year and it’s the Year of the Dragon. As part of our annual CNY family house visitations, we visited one relative in Subang Jaya.

Came evening and it was time for dinner.

How to get to Lan Je Restaurant

Lan Je Restaurant is located in Taman Perindustrian Subang. To get there, you’ll have to either drive or take a Grab there.

There is ample parking space in front and at the back of the restaurant.

It is a decent sized restaurant in a short row of commercial shoplots. It is not hard to miss by it’s bright yellow sign board.

The tables a amply spaced out, so you don’t feel cramped and stuffed inside.

Lan Je Restaurant Menu

What I found amusing was the menu.

Half the menu was priced in $ and the other half priced in Ringgit (RM).

We were debating whether it was US Dollar, Singapore Dollar, or Australian Dollar.

Anyway, that’s not the point.

We were there for the main attraction.

One Person One Fish

Instead of a table of five people sharing 1 big fish. It is a table of five people with five fishes.

Each person has his or her own fish.

The fish is tilapia fish.

Size-wise, I think it’s the size of a hand or 2 hands together.

Then, you have a choice of either non spicy, normal, or spicy flavour. Some of us had non spicy. Some had it spicy. Some had normal flavour.

Normal flavour
Spicy flavour

The spicy fish had more red and green cili than the normal flavoured fish. Even the spiciness of the fish was more.

Along with the fishes, we also ordered prawns, baby kai lan, sweet potato leaves, beancurd, and lala soup as well.

All in all, it was a good experience. Never had a (whole) fish to myself.

Top Big Breakfast Spots in Kuala Lumpur

Whenever we go for our family vacations outstation, I always look forward to the breakfast; before departing on our journey to wherever we’re headed to, like Malacca, Ipoh, or Penang. It was a family tradition to go to McDonalds for breakfast. And that meant the McDonald’s Big Breakfast!

It is a hearty morning combo of scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, a freshly toasted English muffin and golden Hash Browns.

Then, when we eat at cafes and browse the menu, my eyes would skip the coffee, the tea, the pastas, and the sandwiches, and venture straight to one of the most expensive items on the menu: Big Breakfast.

I guess looking at the McDonald’s big breakfast model, a typical big breakfast in a cafe would consist a combo of at least 1 meat, 1 egg dish, 1 vegetable, and 1 carbo dish.

But what’s a big breakfast and in it?

A big breakfast typically consists of a hearty spread of foods such as eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, pancakes or waffles, along with sides like hash browns, fruit, and yogurt, providing a substantial and satisfying start to the day. According to ChatGPT.

Then a big breakfast typically cost around RM25 to RM30+.

So, today, we’ll be exploring my top big breakfast spots in Kuala Lumpur and then travel down to Petaling Jaya. If you’re planning a big breakfast food trip, you can follow in this order.

Each cafe’s big breakfast prices are subject to change by the individual cafes and prices mentioned are as of this writing.

Bean Brothers 

Click here to see Bean Brothers in Kuala Lumpur on Google Map.

Termed the Flexitarian, Bean Brother’s big breakfast is on a whole other level. The Flexitarian priced at RM36, consists of a round bread, lettuce, grilled cherry tomatoes, bite-size sautéed mushrooms, fillet chicken in strips, scrambled egg, avocado, cheese slices, ham slices, and a small bowl of baked beans. 

Why do I say it’s on a whole other level? It comes with an avocado, which is not a typical food in a big breakfast.

Bean Brother’s big breakfast (Flexitarian) is priced at RM36.

Bray Bakery

Click here to see Bray Bakery in Kuala Lumpur on Google Map.

Bray Bakery’s big breakfast is known as The Baker’s Breakfast. Priced at RM29, it consists of eggs of your choice, mushrooms, cultiveat tomatoes, truffle miso arugula, pesto, and sourdough toast. 

For this Baker’s Breakfast, I had scrambled eggs. Despite the lack of the typical sausages, ham, and/or hashbrowns in a big breakfast; the Baker’s Breakfast also felt filling.

Watermark Restaurant

Click here to see Watermark Restaurant in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur on Google Map.

Watermark Restaurant’s Big Breakfast, priced at RM26, consists of egg, chicken sausage, beef bacon, baked beans, grilled tomato, and hash brown. 

While you can also have your choice of egg, you have an additional option in the choosing. You can choose from poached, scrambled, or fried egg. Here, I went with the (safe) scrambled egg. As you can see, it is quite a sizeable portion of scrambled egg, filling up about a quarter of the plate.

Then what’s more unique is the sizes of the chicken sausage, beef bacon, and hash brown. It’s not the usual big and long sausage, big slice of bacon or ham, and 1 piece of hash brown. In Watermark’s Big Breakfast, they are in small and bite-size.

Bakery Cafe Hachi

Click here to see Bakery Cafe Hachi in 1 Mont Kiara in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur on Google Map.

Hachi Bakery Cafe’s big breakfast is an English Breakfast. It consists of baguette, baked beans, salad, tomato, sautéed mushrooms, scrambled egg, bacon, and chicken sausage. Years ago, it was priced at RM24.80.

While there was no hash brown, it was made up with the bacon.

The Daily Grind

Click here to see The Daily Grind in Bangsar Village in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur on Google Map.

The Daily Grind’s big breakfast is called TDG Big Breakfast (RM37). It consists of premium chicken sausages, beef bacon, eggs, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, and buttered toast.

Here, you can’t see the spinach and beef bacon, because it’s hidden under all the other food. Anyway, instead of hash browns and salad, there’s beef bacon and spinach to go with. Then instead of scrambled eggs, it’s sunny side up egg; it’s still egg.

Touche Pastries & More

Click here to see Touche Pastries in Section 17, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.

Touche Pastries is The Big Bad Boy! At RM28.90, it consists of beef bacon, turkey ham, artisanal sausage, scrambled eggs, and toast.

Here, the toast is hidden under the scrambled egg.

Cafe Tujoh

Click here to see Cafe Tujoh in Section 17, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.

Cafe Tujoh’s big breakfast or also known as Full Aussie, consists of scrambled eggs, smoked duck, mushroom, charred tomato, chicken chorizo, and toasted bread. 

In a bit more detail, the vegetable is lettuce, the smoked duck is strips of smoke duck, the mushrooms are sautéed mushrooms, and the charred tomato has a melted cheese on it. What I like about Cafe Tujoh’s Full Aussie, is that it has smoked duck, in addition to the chicken chorizo. Then, if I recall, the Full Aussie was priced at RM28.

Dough! Bakery & Cafe

Click here to see Dough in Section 17, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.

Dough’s big breakfast, termed as Dough’s Breakfast and priced at RM28, consists of 2 pieces of sunny side up, chicken bratwurst, roasted tomato, sautéed mushrooms, potato gratin, mixed salad, and classic sourdough bread. 

What’s unique about Dough’s big breakfast is that instead of serving hashbrown, it is replaced with potato gratin. 

Potato gratin, also known as gratin dauphinois, is a classic French dish made with thinly sliced potatoes layered in a baking dish, typically with cream, butter, garlic, and sometimes cheese. The dish is baked until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and crispy. It’s a rich and indulgent side dish often served alongside roasts or as part of a holiday meal.

Strangers at 47

Click here to see Strangers at 47 in Section 17, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.

Strangers at 47’s big breakfast is Big Breakfast Crepe BBC and it’s priced at RM30. It consists of wholemeal crepe, herb chicken sausage, chicken ham, sautéed mushrooms and spinach, hash brown, baked beans, caramelised onions, eggs your way (sunny or scrambled). 

Here’s a different big breakfast, instead of serving the typical (sourdough) bread and (maybe) lettuce. Stranger’s at 47’s big breakfast changes things up with wholemeal crepe and sautéed spinach. 

If you’re looking for a not so heavy big breakfast because of the sourdough bread, you can consider the wholemeal crepe in Strangers at 47’s Big Breakfast Crepe BBC. 

Asa Cafe

Click here to see Asa Cafe in Taman Paramount, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.

As per Asa Paramount’s menu, their big breakfast, priced at RM35, consists of real chicken sausage, sautéed mushroom, sourdough, tomato, greens, scrambled egg, and hashbrown.

I must reiterate that they served a nicely cut up sourdough bread. Unlike some cafes, a sourdough or 2 is served as a whole slice. The mushrooms are not small but fat, long, and juicy. The tomato was a grilled, half-tomato. The yellow protein was a flat piece of scrambled egg. If you can’t see and find the “real chicken sausage”, it’s hidden under the sautéed mushrooms. Unlike some cafe’s sausages where the sausage tend to be fat, thick, and long, Asa’s sausage is of a decent size.

My Gracious Kitchen

Click here to see My Gracious in SS2, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.

My Gracious Kitchen’s big breakfast is Mama Breakfast. Priced at RM25.90, it consists of herb sausage, baked beans, hash brown, egg, toast, chicken pepperoni, baked tomatoes, and vegetables. 

It’s little bit simpler, yet with a touch distinction as well. Instead of sourdough, it is toast bread. The egg is the default sunny side up. You’re not given the choice of choosing your egg. Here, you’re not given 1 hash brown only, but 2 hash browns. Then, instead of ham or bacon, it is chicken pepperoni. 

Annie Day Coffee

Click here to see Annie Day Coffee in SS2, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.

Annie Day’s big breakfast is a Supreme Breakfast. At RM28, it consists of chicken sausage, beef bacon, chicken ham, hashbrown, two eggs, baked beans, side salad, sourdough bread, and butter and jam. 

While the Supreme Breakfast has all the trappings of big breakfast, it goes a little out of the way to include butter and jam, so that you can enjoy your sourdough bread with some sweetness. 

Milligram – Coffee & Eatery

Click here to see Milligram in SS26 Taman Mayang Jaya, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.

Milligram’s big breakfast is Kilogram Brekkie. At RM29, it consists of button mushrooms, pork sausage, pork bacons, scrambled eggs, milk bread, baked beans, hash-brown, and salad. 

Here, instead of sourdough bread, we’ve milk bread for a change. The hash-brown is a small round piece of hash-brown. Everything else is standard as you would expect in a big breakfast.

Kheng Wah Restaurant

Click here to see Kheng Wah Restaurant in Megah Rise Mall in SS24 Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.

Kheng Wah’s big breakfast is USA Breakfast. At RM18.90, it consists of luncheon meat, Taiwan sausage, French toast, french fries, fried eggs, baked beans, and assorted beans. 

Kheng Wah’s big breakfast is a fusion kinda big breakfast. The meat is unique and different, in that it’s Taiwan sausage and luncheon meat. It’s not the typical ham, bacon, or chicken sausage. The bread is French toast and not sourdough bread or baguette and not even normal toast bread. The vegetables is frozen vegetables with some cherry tomatoes. Lastly, what’s cool is that it has french fries!

Twenty Fourty Six

Click here to see Twenty Forty Six cafe in SS23 Taman SEA, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.

2046’s big breakfast (literally termed Big Breakfast on the menu) priced at RM32, consists of chicken ham, scrambled egg, lettuce, grilled tomato, mixed mushroom, hashbrown, potatoes, and sourdough bread.

In addition to the hashbrown, 2046’s big breakfast goes further by including grilled potatoes as well.

SIS & Co’s Big Sis Breakfast (RM32) consists of housemade sausages, streaky bacon, ham, button mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes, scrambled eggs served with freshly toasted baguette.

Grand Imperial Dim Sum in Bangsar Shopping Centre

A few of my friends and I wanted to experience the “grander” side of (an imperial) Chinese restaurant (cue the Star Wars’ emperor marching music in the background), so we had lunch at Grand Imperial Restaurant in Bangsar Shopping Centre, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. It was not only a fine experience but also a different one, as it was dim sum for lunch, not breakfast.

How to get there

📍 T5, Bangsar Shopping Centre, 285, Jalan Maarof, 59000 Kuala Lumpur

If you’re taking the train and riding on the MRT – stop at Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT. Then walk 650 meters up Jalan Maarof to Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC). 

Alternatively, if you’re driving, you can park in the basement. Entry is paid parking.

Then in the mall, take the lift or escalator up to the 3rd floor on the newer section of BSC.

Grand Imperial Restaurant

Established since 2008, we are Malaysia’s leading company in the food & beverage industry and wedding services. We showcase a fleet of outstanding restaurants offering various culinary experiences, from Chinese delicacies to Chinese Dim Sum, BBQ, Seafood Steamboat, Hong Kong noodles, and tangy fresh seafood.

The restaurant itself is very spacious, so you do not feel congested or in a very closed up environment.

Dim Sum for Lunch

From the dim sum menu, we had deep-fried prawn dumplings, deep-fried beancurd roll with prawns, deep-fried yam puff, radish cake, cheong fun with BBQ meat, baked egg tart, siew mai, mango pudding, and a few more dim sums.

Beggar’s Chicken at New Heong Kee Restaurant in Ampang Jaya

Instead of the usual, popular restaurants for dinner in town; why not something different and out of town?

From Petaling Jaya, we travelled out to Ampang Jaya. There, we had Beggar’s Chicken for dinner at New Heong Kee Restaurant.

How to get there

Driving along Jalan Lingkaran Tengah 2 (main road), it’s just after the Petronas petrol station. 

The restaurant is not in a shop lot but in a housing lot along the main road. There are 2 gates. The first gate is the entrance to more space at the back to park your car. The 2nd gate is the the main entrance to the parking space in front and to the restaurant. Nevertheless, both gates are on common ground and lead to the restaurant.

However, take note that parking is very limited with space for approximately less than 15 cars.

New Heong Kee Restaurant

You need to call, make advance booking, and pre-order your food.

Back to the restaurant, it has open-air seating. Mind you, it’s a non-airconditioned restaurant.

You can see how the Beggar’s Chicken is being cooked. Under a shack at the backyard, you can see the chicken cooked the traditional way.

Beggar’s Chicken. The chicken has to be ordered as it takes several hours to cook. The meat was soft, tender, succulent and moist at the same time. 

Below are some other dishes we ordered to go with the Beggar’s Chicken for dinner.

Beggar’s Duck. The duck was drenched in soy sauce, thereby giving it the additional flavour. As for the meat, it was soft and very tender. You don’t need a knife to even slice and cut the meat.

Beggar’s Pork Trotter. There was a good layer of chewy fat and good meat.

Boneless Fish, Country Fish, or as someone called it – Zombie Fish. Even though it’s fish, but it tasted like and had the texture of fish cake.

Vegetables.

CC in BB: Capitol Cafe in Bukit Bintang

Last month, we were at Halab Gate Shawarma (link here). Over the weekend, just across the main road, Jalan Sultan Ismail, we were at Capitol Cafe. 

In a lane behind Damascus Bukit Bintang and WOLO Kuala Lumpur is the Capitol Cafe.

How to get there

📍 Address: 46, Jln Sultan Ismail, Bukit Bintang, 50250 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur

The cafe is just a stone’s throw away from the Bukit Bintang MRT and monorail stations. 

If you’re taking the MRT, alight at Bukit Bintang station and head towards Entrance E. Then u-turn and then turn right towards Jalan Sultan Ismail. Then turn right towards the lane just before Maybank Bukit Bintang.  

If you’re taking the monorail, alight at Bukit Bintang station, cross the Bukit Bintang Crossing and walk up along Jalan Sultan Ismail. Then turn right towards the lane just before Maybank Bukit Bintang.  

Capitol Cafe

Capitol Cafe has a cozy and inviting interior design that’s perfect for a casual meal or a catch-up with friends. The cafe has a rustic vibe, with wooden tables and chairs, exposed brick walls, and vintage decorations. The ambiance is relaxed and laid-back, making it a great spot to unwind after a long day.

Capitol Cafe’s menu is a fusion of Western and Asian cuisine. One of the must-try dishes at Capitol Cafe is their signature nasi lemak. You can browse and download their menu here.

We had their Nasi Ayam Penyet, Hainanese Chicken Chop with Boiled Egg, HoGaSai Ping, and many others for lunch.

The nasi lemak was not the usual nasi lemak with ayam goreng. This nasi lemak is with ayam penyet. The ayam penyet is topped with breaded crusts.

As my friend quoted, “I’ve never had Hainanese chicken chop with boiled egg.” It is a new and good addition with boiled egg in the dish. The chicken chop sauce has an added eggy taste and protein.

Mix iced milo and iced coffee, and you get HoGaSai Ping.

Hainan Village Malayan Kopitiam in Megah Rise Mall

For frequent shoppers and diners in Taman Megah, of course Hainan Joy Cafe | Restoran Hainan Joy is no stranger. But just recently, another new “Hainan-themed” restaurant just opened it’s doors in SS24 Taman Megah.

Let’s welcome Hainan Village Malayan Kopitiam (Petaling Jaya). 

How to get there

Hainan Village is located in the newly opened mall – Megah Rise – in SS24 Taman Megah.

If you’re driving along Jalan SS 24/10 and Jalan SS 24/11, it is not hard to miss Hainan Village from outside.

It it a corner restaurant located on the ground floor at the north entrance of Megah Rise. It is split into 2 lots across each other.

📍 Address: G-13A & 15, Megah Rise, 3, Jalan SS 24/9, Taman Megah, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor

Hainan Village Malayan Kopitiam

On Google, it describes itself as:

“Honoured as the “First Hainanese Vegetarian Kopitiam in Malaysia” by the Malaysia Book of Records in February 2022, Hainan Village Kopitiam preserves the love for the animals and the passion to share good, meat-free Hainanese food with everyone in Malaysia, regardless of faith or race. By fusing traditional taste of Kampung and modern cooking styles, complemented with spice-filled sauces, each and every dish served at Hainan Village Kopitiam is healthy, hearty and most importantly – absolutely delicious.”

From the outset, it looked like any other kopitiam in the mall. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that it was a kopitiam that served vegetarian food.

We ordered the below for our lunch.

Signature Hainan Roasted VChicken Rice

Looking for a vegetarian version of chicken rice, we had the Signature Hainan Roasted VChicken Rice. It is a delicious and satisfying meal that is also perfect for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike. The V stands for Vegetarian. The “vegetarian chicken” was beancurd. 

Signature Nasi Lemak With Rendang VMutton

Like any other nasi lemak, it had the sambal, ikan bilis (anchovies), kacang (peanuts), cucumber, egg, and nasi lemak. What’s different was the vegetarian mutton which, well, tasted like mutton and had potatoes.

Ah Lee Restaurant

Even though the restaurant is sheltered yet it’s non-airconditioned. The kitchen is at the front, so you can see the cook passionately cooking your food and the waitresses preparing your drinks.

Due to the limited operating hours, especially since they start operations during peak hour, and it’s a popular restaurant, judging my the crowd; suggest to make reservations or go earlier ahead of time to get a table or two.

Crab Noodles and More

We didn’t give their crab noodles a miss! It was a real standout dish. The noodles were cooked to perfection and mixed with a generous amount of crab. It was rich and flavourful, making for the perfect comfort food on a chilly evening.

Since we had 2 tables side-by-side, we opted for 2 types of chickens: fried chicken and steam chicken. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, and the steam chicken was incredibly tender and flavourful. Then we swapped the plates of chickens at every interval.

The fried prawn rolls were filled with juicy prawns and fillings, which were crispy and flavourful.

Last but not least, the claypot tofu was also a hit, with the sauce that perfectly complemented the Japanese tofus, vegetables, and pork meat in the claypot.

Overall, we had an excellent dining experience at Ah Lee Restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. If you’re in the Pandamaran area, be sure to stop by Ah Lee Restaurant and try some of their amazing dishes.
