Hankering
for typical ‘kopitiam’ fare in the 5-star comfort? Make your way to Dorsett
Grand Subang’s Cafe Aroma where familiar ‘kopitiam’ favourites are served every
Monday to Friday from 12 noon to 10 pm.
Trust
Sous Chef Shabani Md. Akhir has curated a simple menu of evergreen coffee shop delights
and a selection of hot and cold beverages worth dawdling over. Start with a cup
of Hailam Cham (RM6), Barley Lemon (RM6) or Kopi ‘O’ (RM6) among others.
No
visit to the ‘kopitiam’ is ever complete with Roti Bakar served with butter
& kaya (RM6). Grilled to order, you have a choice of plain, wholemeal,
brown bread or Roti Apollo.
Another
droolworthy staple is Nasi Lemak Bungkus with Squid (RM9). This popular
Malaysia fave comes wrapped in banana leaf and waxed brown paper to keep things
authentic. We love the zingy sambal and the fragrant santan-rich rice; two
crucial components of good nasi lemak.
The
show-stealer in the menu has to be the ho-hum looking Mee Rebus Mak Limah (RM12).
Even cynical old me was impressed after the first spoonful of gravy – in this instance,
the full-bodied mildly spiced gravy really pushes the dish to respectable
heights.
Coming
in a close second is the suitably zesty Nyonya Curry Laksa (RM25) with all the
attendant condiments. More nostalgic memories are captured in the piping hot
serving of Claypot Loh Shi Fun (RM15).
‘Hae
koh’ (prawn paste) is a must to boost the tangy Penang Asam Laksa (RM18).
Granted it can’t beat the real deal from the island but heck, Klang Valley
peeps hankering for some stimulating fishy and appetite-whetting tamarind
noodle broth can’t afford to be too choosy.
Prefer
simpler snacks to munch on? Then you can’t go wrong with local tea snacks like Housemade
Egg Curry Puff (RM12) and Deep-fried Spring Rolls (RM12).
