Late lunch at Asian Food House Restaurant, Damansara Utama


It's like just another boring and lazy sunday for me knowing that time flies as that I hardly could feel myself enjoying and relaxing for the weekend. Sigh...It's always the case when u work on every Fridays till past 12 midnight..Arrghh. Anyways, that day me and my bf went downtown driving past highways and making several stops to different spots in Damansara only to end up deciding what to have for lunch after say about like 1 hr of driving? haha... It's one crazy day in fact where he lost his sense of direction and decision making for food. We seldom head down to Damansara area because it is just too far off from our home. But as we made several rounds in Uptown I think...goshh i couldnt be for sure now if this is the place we ended up as our final stop. .yeah i think it is anyway..:P we decided to pick this Peculiar and unique restaurant from the outside as it appears to me that my six sense or inner guts was telling me this place has got good food to serve! it's just a small restaurant with less than 10 tables & chairs for dining. There's like a mini bar counter on your right as you entered. The painting decorations hung up at the wall under orange lighting of chinese cloth made lanterns really make you feel like you are in one of the Chinatown suburban area having your lunch in a peaceful and quiet zone. Wow....:D


It looks to me like a home business and basically the boss who runs this restaurant could be more like a partnership between few people. We ideally spotted 2 middle aged man around mid 30's who came in and straight went in to the kitchen area holding some few bags of stuffs...He dressed differently and smartly. So he must be the one..but of cos, sometimes looks can be deceiving. hehe..We have nothing else better to do than watching and observing every single thing which caught our eyes just to laze our time away while waiting for our food. Well, back to food..we ordered Lemon Grass chicken chop rice and Taiwanese style Pork Ribs rice together with another side order called Crispy Tofu. Yummy yumm...since we were not sure what's really good here yet, it is always the safest practice to look out for the Thumb finger icons on menu or something which indicates its GOOD! hahaha. My lemon grass chicken chop was a huge serving with lots of chicken slices . The lemon grass tasted really like those "Kunyit" herbs used by the Malays to cook curry..It's OK to me and not bad as it's really unusual . I could hardly finish up mine in fact . As for him, the Taiwanese so called Pork ribs really had his applaude as it's really good and tasted exactly like home made Pork Ribs. It's sweet and sour slightly with quite a strong smell of Ginger. The enormous soup potion apart from the pork ribs did came with soaked cabbages and lettuces.



The prices here are pretty reasonable to me since it's quoted reasonably with the portion size and serving style. I think you could find anything in here ranging from Japanese, Asian to Taiwanese style..since the Word "ASIAN" is self explainatory enough..isnt it? I particularly love the side dish Fish Paste Tofu..it's made of very fine fish paste fillings with some herbs grind into it and it was definitely home made cos you can never find anything like this seriously!! It's outer layer was fried and crispy and go perfectly well with their chillie sauce. Relating this, really make me missed this place and I feel like going there again later! haha...The price of Lemon Grass chicken chop rice was at RM 9.80. Taiwanese style pork ribs costed RM 13, whereas the Tofu was at RM 8.80. As for drinks, I had Lemon Gree Tea and coke for him. All in , was just RM 44 inclusive of service charge...and yeah by the way there's no Govt charge for here! I don't think it's expensive to me for as long as food is GOOD! You must check out this place yourself and no regretss. :) I've got to apologize for the distorted colour of the picture snapped since what could u expect when it was taken from a phone..eh...;) I hardly bring my cam along recently as I know I wouldnt be updating it as often as I wish previously. Perhaps I would usually keep aside all the pictures and only keep all of 'em rolling in after a month or so break in between.
