Onde Onde Citta Mall Ara Damansara - Flavours Of Malaysian Street Food Review

There are not many restaurants or café that serves a wide array of Malaysian all-time popular street food in one restaurant. Best Restaurant To Eat was invited for a food review session at Onde Onde Citta Mall Ara Damansara located at G-49, Ground Floor, CITTA MALL, No.1 Jalan PJU 1A/48 Jalan PJU 1, Ara Damansara 47301 Petaling Jaya Selangor Malaysia.

Onde Onde Citta Mall has a modern and casual setup where you can lepak around with your friends and family over a cup of tea tarik or kopi santan and enjoy some kuih muih or have a traditional Malaysian breakfast of Nasi Lemak and end supper with some fried Kuey Teow with Duck Egg.

We started the review with some favourite appetizer, namely the first of which is the Pandan Chicken. This pandan chicken is very different from the one that we eat at the Thai Restaurant which had chicken pieces. The chicken meat here are minced with a recipe of spices and then wrapped with the Pandan leave and fry to a slight crisp. It is best eaten with some chilli sauce.

followed by the Penang favourite Chicken Lobak Platter – The chef used the chicken as the filling for the lobak, it taste great eaten on its own, in the platter there were also the fried taufoo and century eggs as another must have for a local favourites.

and the last appetizer was the Johor favourite which is Otak-Otak. The otak-otak serves here are a triangle in shape as compared to those that are thinly spread in the traditional daun nipah. Eating this otak-otak gives you a sense of a much meaty piece as you are able to taste the combination of the spices with the fish meat.

We then move to the noodles session, where we ordered 2 noodles the first of which is the Duck Egg Char Kuey Teow. I was a little surprised when it was served as I find that the Fried Kuey Teow was very evenly fried and the aroma of the duck eggs was very fragrant.

The only setback for this dish was there are no cockles in it although there was a generous amount of chicken meat and bean sprouts and some prawns to top it up with.

Next , we ordered the Signature Assam Laksa. I am a strong fan of Assam Laksa and I find this broth a little subtle to my taste as I am fond of the type where the broth is very strong and flavourful of the ikan kembung. 

After that we moved on to the Rice dishes, where we had the Belacan Fried Rice. I find this dish to be quite nice as the balance use of the ingredient and belacan was just right i.e. not too overwhelming that kills or overpowered the taste.

The next rice dish is the Nasi Lemak Istimewa Supreme which comes with the signature Ayam Berempah, Sambal Prawns and Otak-Otak and keropok. I find the rice to be aromatic and was cooked to be very grainy with just the right touch of santan. 

While the Ayam Berempah was fried to a gentle crisp on the skin and the meat was still succulent and tender on the inside. The mildly spicy fresh prawn sambal was a perfect match to the Nasi lemak without being too overpowering.

Lastly, for desserts, we had the first one which is the Cendol. The cendol was silky smooth and blended well with the concoction of the gula Melaka and the Red Beans. It is an ideal dessert to end our hearty meal. 

This was then followed by the Signature Durian Dessert. This is a real surprised to me as the durian that was used as the topping was very aromatic and flavourful. Even before taking the first spoonful, we could smelt the strong durian aroma from the bowl. Eating together with the ice shaving it was just a perfect dessert for me who loves anything durian.

The last dish for the night was the Golden Banana Fritters with Ice Cream. Here the banana was cut in half and the batter does not have that much of the crisp which would make it ideal to eat with the ice cream.

As for drink, we had the Pandan Cooler – it was a very refreshing and soothing drink that goes exceptionally well with the spicy food that we had.

Lastly, we had the Kopi Santan, which instead of using milk, they use santan to flavour the roasted coffee. For me, which loves thick and strong coffee, this version is just a tad too mild to my liking although I find the santan to be a good mix and something different for a change.

At Onde Onde Citta Mall Ara Damansara, you will be able to get to taste all the different flavours of Malaysian Street food in one place without the hassle of going to too many different shop or states to taste it.

The Buzz Restaurant at Hotel Premiere Klang – Delightful Mouth Watering Spread Ramadan Buffet.

The Buzz Restaurant at Hotel Premiere Klang – Delightful Mouth Watering Spread Ramadan Buffet.

Not many Ramadan buffet in the Klang Valley offers more than 100 types of dishes. but here at The Buzz Restaurant located at Hotel Premiere in Klang it serves more than 100 dishes.

Ranging from Salad, Cold Cut, Ulam, Gado-Gado, Soup, Pizza, Spaghetti, Curry Noodles, Main Dishes (more than 10), BBQ (Lamb, Seafood, Chicken Wings), Nasi Briyani, Nasi Ayam, limitless desserts and the in season Durian Kampung. Sadly, yours truly is not able to try out every single dish here. It must be the first time in a buffet that I was unable to savour every dish that was served.

One of the main points according to Executive Chef of The Buzz Restaurant @Hotel Premiere- Mr. William Teo (more than 35 years of experience specializing in Western and Malay Dishes), it is not the number of dishes that we served but most importantly each dish were cooked to give you a total culinary delights to steer your every taste bud.

Above all, there are many “LIVE” cooking stations to ensure that your dishes are cooked and served just for you. You can choose your favorite ingredients and the portion for the Chef to cook it.

For the night, below are the lists of my favorite

The main highlight is the Roast Lamb – freshly Roasted and cut to the right serving size. The Lamb (from New Zealand) was marinated for more than one whole day before being roasted to perfection. The meat was tender and succulent. With the added brown sauce, it was a perfect fit to start this culinary experience.

My next favourite is the Sambal Petai Prawn. The prawn was very firm and the sambal gravy was so ingrained into the prawns and very juicy. The Petai was purposely half cooked so that you can savour the bitter sweet taste of the petai and the aromatic flavour of the petai. Blended with the sambal sauce, it was indeed tantalizing.

Next is the Soup Rusa, which was another fine example of the creativeness of the Chef, most restaurant will either serve you the soup kambing, gearbox or tulang rusuk. With the right blend of spices used and the use of venison meat as the base, it does not have any musky taste and not overwhelmimg.

For the main dish, we had the Stir Fried Beef With Capsicum & Black Pepper, the beef was very tender and the peppery sauce was not too spicy.

In the Briyani section, you can try the meat of choice of - Lamb, Chicken or Beef Curry With Potatoes. I personally enjoyed the Beef Curry, as it have a watery texture and the beef was very well cooked and the meat have a soft texture making it very easy to eat.

 In the Luk Luk section, I  had the Poach Tiger Prawn,  the freshness of the prawns top it off. You can just eat it on its own without any need for any extra sauce and you will be able to appreciate the natural sweetness and the firm texture of the prawns.

Next, I had the curry noodles. Apparently, this is the Chef Grandmother Original recipe which has a Baba Nyonya origin. Nyonya Curry are usually laden with a lot of santan and the curry noodles served at The Buzz is of not exception. Due to this, it has a creamy soup texture and couple with the perfect combination of the condiment such as fish ball, cockles, taufoo, taugeh and etc.

Although there are many desserts served like a selection of Malay Traditional Kuih, which I did not have the chance to savour all of it, 

but the one that stands out have to the Sarawa Durian With Pulut. The creamy durian although a little sweeter has a strong durian taste and was the perfect match to the pulut.
