D Fong @ Verve Suite, Mont Kiara

 D'Fong has been around for a few months now after the Verve Suites and Shops opened.
 
Looking at the turquoise and white decor, I was expecting a Western cafe. But it turned out to be a local Malaysian cafe - East meets West with quite a few Chinese dishes and Dim Sum too.
   
The Grilled Pork Chop Rice was a winner. Tasty grilled pork chop that was still moist inside with some warm rice and a tangy sauce. Reminded me of Vietnamese pork chop rice. Yummy. 
The Crispy Chicken Chop with Tomato Fried Rice was a miss though. The chicken was crispy but a bit oily. The tomato fried rice? what was it supposed to be ? Fried rice with tomato sauce thrown in ? 
The Siew Mai were quite large and substantial for RM5.80. Moist and tasty. Thumbs up again. 
Kiwi Smoothie - RM5 add on to the set lunch. Good taste and good value.

If you're in Mont Kiara and looking for nice local food in a nice environment, give D Fong a try. We'll be back to try more for sure. It located at the Verve Shops at Mont Kiara.

Sentul Ah Yap Charcoal Hokkien Mee Restaurant @ Rivercity

A relatively new place at Rivercity, Jalan Ipoh is a branch of the famous Sentul Ah Yap Charcoal Hokkien Mee. We've tried it a few times the food is pretty decent, but not particularly outstanding

The signature Hokkien Mee for example would not stand up to several other top Hokkien Mee places along Jalan Ipoh. Needs more lard in my opinion. 
The Ying Yong - Cantonese fried mee hoon and kuey teow was also decent but not outstanding. 
Pork in two styles - sweet sour and another in mayonnaise sauce. Both tasted rather weird. Hmmmm.

Besides noddles, they have rice with dishes too. Give it a try. Its located on the side of the AEON Big supermarket at Rivercity facing Jalan Kasippillay.
