It started to drizzle when I was around that vicinity. Not certain of my way around, I took shelter at this food court and decided to try out some of it's dishes.

By the time of 4pm plus, the hawker stalls' staffs were all on taking-it-easy mode since during this time, the lunch crowd has long gone and the dinner crowd has yet to come it while those who's in search of teatime won't visit such a place due to it's heavy meals and environment that aren't as pleasant to be staying around. But even at a time of 4pm, there's still some people around and even after I've came in and had my meal, there were some people who started to come in for their meals already.

There's a lot of hawker stalls around and unlike normal kopitiam places, this one has most still opened to serve customers. They probably operate at night too hence the still open state. I guess they're just getting ready for the dinner crowd and just wind down a little instead of closing till dinnertime. The signs on all the stalls were big and easy to see what each stall sells. This truly indicate that each stall owner is definitely there for the long haul since it's not easy nor cheap to change the signs. I decided to try out the roast duck rice over there.

The butcher was having his meal while the rest of the family members (it's a family business) were sitting at one of the round table nearby chit chatting. When they saw me walking towards their stall and stopping there, an old man approached me quickly and asked me what do I want. I'm amazed at the pace he moved and also surprised that he's also the person who takes orders, serves and receives the payment. Interesting to see such an old fella working there. It didn't take long till I receive my meal and the drinks were quite quick to get to me too even though it's quite a big place. Now that's efficiency.

Unfortunately, this place is a bit dearer with the Roast Duck Rice at RM7.50 while the Chinese Tea Ice costs RM0.70. So it's a cheap but not that cheap place. The roast duck was quite okay with some hits and misses. The rice was well okay but the chili was too watery. The duck's okay and the sauce although tasty seems to be weak in it's taste. The soup didn't do any good as it was almost tasteless. But nonetheless, it's a hearty enough meal to fill your tummy. As for the Chinese Tea Ice, well, it's just that. A bit too pricey for Chinese Tea Ice.

So there you have it, another Cheap but not that Cheap kopitiam. *Sigh*. Cheap kopitiam to eat is becoming extinct. At least there's still Section 17, Petaling Jaya to fall back on. So far, that's the most reliable of them all.

Total Wallet Damage:
RM7.50 for the Duck Rice and RM0.70 for the Chinese Tea Ice.

Final Verdict:
6/10. Huge place so there's bound to be seats even though peak hour but way too limited in parking space. Food and drinks a bit more expensive then my expectation but there's a lot of variety here for food. That's lovely.
