~ LAMAN GRILL SHAH ALAM~








Inspired by the owner of the restaurant, our journey starts moving beyond the aesthetic where we finally experienced by ourselves the swanky dishes offered by ‘Laman Grill’. It is truly like a place where the heart and tummy belong to and the historic significant atmosphere promotes us the evergreen illusion. My first impression was in order for me to travel so far away so, the food had better be good,, 


~The homey expression~




Starting from the ambiance and the design of the restaurant itself, compromise the value of personal touched by the chef achievements such the collections of news related to him and the official collections of compliments certificates which jump-up the degrees of artistic sense. 
The ambiance as well is cozy plus the atmosphere also homey and make someone feel comfort whenever they drop by. There is one wall, where newspaper clippings over for about years have been blown up showing the people the chef has met in the industry.

 The kitchen itself located right at the back of the restaurant where everyone can see the kitchen operation by them self. Moreover, it is clean and neat! impressive indeed and gives people like me the comfort that hygiene is high on the list, for sure.  




Rather than to fulfill our appetite, we have been assign to make our own judgement towards what Laman Grill offer to us including all aspects such the food, ambience, service etc. There were 35 of us including a couple of escort lecturers that came to dine here. We booked for set menus which including the prestigious main course where each of us will get differ from each other, and the variety of lovey dovey desserts. For our smooth consume, we slurp it up with juices as the beverages.


The restaurant itself almost full by all of us as the capacity of the restaurant is quite small even provided seats outside for those who wants to feel the fresh air and for smokers. What can I say is  that people non-stop coming vary the turnover rates.




As I said before, there set menu that we got that night and as I flipped the menu offered,, the menu specially for those meat lover's as most of it was the Meat Lover's Combo Platter, somehow like mixed grill but bombastic! 
As we eat there, we could fell the feeling of eating in the five star hotel menu as I saw others bulging by looking at the food presentations as the large size of short rib serve in front of them was totally so magnificent. At the very last bite, I can even taste the quality of food.







Frankly, this is the platter for those who don't know what to order and want to taste of everything. 
As they got this plate of food, speechless will shown up, and thats mean no objection!!





For the last course of menu, we were presented with various underlying sweetness treat. those desserts were succulent, creamy and impressive. By looking at their face, everybody look satisfy with the menus offered and most of them fell satisfy with that. Thumbs up Laman Grill!!


Here are the business card that I able to get from the cashier while I'm paying off the bill after having dinner.




 The bill of all of us,, for 35 sets menu and the price goes...... wowwww!! 
but at least for the overall menus offered, the friendly service serve to us, it is still value for money,, sincerely!!
 got the picture??


Here it is, the most valuable moment that I able to snap up with the Laman Grill's owner, Chef Zubir.. p/s: thank you for your co-operation and please us to came by and having most precious fine dining moment at your place.

~ KLG @ Kuai Le Gee???? ~

~ KLG @ Kuai Le Gee???? ~

" choose a fast food restaurant and a signature menu of it,,thus, elaborate some about it "
(first asignment for food writing):))


For this asignment, I spontaniously came out with this kind of restaurant which I think most of us never went there or even never noticed it before. 
everybody know what is KFC but farely know what is KLG and for me the first time I came there is when I was standard 3 where I went to Langkawi to visit my relatives and somehow we decided to try out the Taiwanese KFC-style fast food restaurant and here some sort of background that related to this restaurant. 




KLG refered to as Kuai Le Gee in Malaysia which means " Happy Chicken " Gee is chicken and apparently ‘kuai’ is ‘happy. ( for the first time I thought it was Kentucky Lambt Goreng ) - most of   Langkawi citizen called that.
KLG have their own chain which are in Malaysia, Taiwan and China. KLG itself is the copycat restaurant which came out with the same theme and concept as KFC, include the logo which KLG's logo depicts a plump chicken wearing a bow tie. ( as the image above )

"THE FRIED CHICKEN"

"MASHED POTATO"



"copycat restaurant of KFC - KLG"

"KLG logo"

 well, KLG's menu is relatively similar to that of KFC's in that fried chicken, french fries, mashed potato, coleslow, potato wedges,chicken burgers, and soft drinks are available in both restaurant chains. However, the food that is available in KLG is cheaper than the same food that is available in KFC. but the taste?? well for me the taste not as bombastic as KFC for sure.

"KLG French Fries"

"the view inside the restaurant"

 the menu offered that the KLG fried chicken offerings are near identical to KFC. From the looks of it, someone’s just decided to completely rip off KFC in it’s entirety and rename it KLG.

moreover,, KLG restaurant also get the reflect when the KFC hot issue rose where the employee beats up the customer in Malaysia itself.

for me, for this kind of copycat restaurant easy to build but also easy to fall down where I think most of us will surely choose to go to the original one.
