D'Rich King Of Good Food @ SS2

Newly open in just less than a month, this restaurant is packed with people. The interior is wide and spacious with good ventilation, and patrons can choose to sit in the shaded or alfresco area. However, due to its location it is rather difficult to find a parking spot. In fact, we had to circle 7 rounds around the area before we found a spot. If you're wondering where they are located, they are just right behind BHP SS2 and near Donald's Durian.

Interior

Sandal's "Cham Ice" @ RM3.50 - Cheaper than Pappa Rich, but not as concentrated

The restaurant's menu and concept is basically the same as all the other coffee shops around such as Pappa Rich, Old Town White Coffee, Hainan Tea and etc.,that has been mushrooming out faster than you can say Boo! of late. As it was our first time here, we decided to order a few different dishes to see whether the food here is better than its competitors around.

Chee Cheong Fan with Shrimp Floss

The Chee Cheong Fan (CCF) at RM 2.30 was the first dish that arrived. The CCF was soft, springy and had a nice bite to it. The shrimp floss that accompanied it was salty, which is perfect as CCF's are generally quite plain. Among the shrimp floss, there was also a sprinkling of dried chili thrown in to give this dish a slightly spicy tang. Will definitely order this again if I return.

Mushroom Soup served in a Bread Bowl

Next came the Mushroom Soup priced at RM6.90. This dish was very small,and although the mushroom soup was homemade and quite lovely, the bread bowl that was served was utterly lousy. The bread was dry, plain and really took away the taste of the mushroom soup when eaten together. I think they should have used puff pastry instead, and this sort of bread bowl is more suitable for fillings like curry chicken.

Sandal's Kampung Chicken Koay Teow @ RM8.60

The Koay Teow used for the above dish was delicious as the texture was smooth and springy (suspect the noodles were imported from Ipoh). The soup was flavorful too, but the chicken however, was not very smooth, which is often the case with "Kampung" chicken.

Fried Chicken @ RM6.90

This Fried Chicken is one of the signature dishes here (Signature dishes have a CROWN symbol denoted). The portion for the chicken was rather small and the chicken was quite unique tasting. It tasted a little bit sweet, had a very light seasoning of nam yee (fermented red beancurd) and a strong lemon grass flavor. I would have personally like more nam yee added, but overall it was fried perfectly and easy to snack on.

Verdict :

We would definitely return to this restaurant again as the ambiance and ventilation is great for chilling-out sessions. Additionally, they also sell quite a few delicious looking cakes and desserts here that my sweet tooth is aching to sink itself into. 

Toothpick says : Will return here again, provided there is available parking space.

Sandal says : Food here is better than most of the cafes around.
