Kafe MU Pit Stop.
I think it is quite difficult nowadays to dine at an affordable restaurant with a character. Most cheap restaurants today are just there to do a business – to shove food down your throat. But this morning, I went to a small restaurant at Taman Melati and I think restaurants should be like this. A restaurant should be about service to customers. A restaurant should be about selling dining experience.
This restaurant is called Kafe MU Pit Stop. Although the name has the word café in it, I don’t for one second think that that it was in fact a café. It is simply because it is really a restaurant. Why do I say that the restaurant has characters? Once you go inside the restaurant, you will notice that it is just like your typical restaurant but you will also notice the old advertisements of Coca Cola and cigarettes hanging on the wall. On the right side of the restaurant, there are three glass shelves that housed antique cameras and miniature cars. There are also two or three antique radios and telephones. You would also be able to see a desktop that can be used to surf internet for free along with free wifi that you can use with your laptop or PDA.
On the food side, I ordered Nasi Lemak, Mee Bandung, Soto and Roti Bakar. The Nasi Lemak was very nice especially when coupled with an exquisite Sambal Ikan Bilis. I also took Sambal Sotong and that too was very delicious but a little heavy on the Belacan side. The Mee Bandung was up to standard but could be better with more spices. The Soto on the other hand, was a little bit too spicy but still, not something that I would complain about. The most important thing is, the food there tasted like home-cooked food rather than from a food producing factory.
If you want a decent meal in a nice restaurant that will make you feel at home, then, why not head to Kafe MU Pit Stop at Taman Melati, Kuala Lumpur.
P.S. MU stands for Melati Utama and not Manchester United. The restaurant owner is actually a Liverpool fan. And the Kafe did not pay me to write this entry.
