Our Favourite Restaurant

We somehow came across this restaurant by chance. The first time we came here, we got attracted to it because of the queue of customers in front of the restaurant during any meal periods, and as the saying goes, where there's lots of people, there's bound to be good food =P

So, may we present to you .... "Fong Lye Restaurant"!



It's a Taiwanese restaurant located on the third floor of The Gardens, Mid Valley City. The physical build-up of the restaurant itself is rather nice; with glass exterior walls, the whole eating area is visible from the outside of the restaurant.

As of the time of writing this post, we've been to the restaurant a couple of time before, and we've tried several of their dishes on the menu (though we can't recall the names...). But, a picture says a thousand words, so here are some pictures of what we had during our visits there =P

We ordered tea as our drinks there. The tea is served in a very classic-styled teapot. It added a very nice touch to the dining utensils served. The cups provided matched the teapot in terms of size and design (which was rather petite, unlike the more modern Chinese restaurants).



Most of their meals comes in a standard serving; a main dish, a bowl of rice and soup, and a serving of three additional "mini-dishes" which are sort of condiments to the meal; all served in a wooden tray. Their soup is something to talk about ~ we are usually used to the oh-so-bland-and-plain typical chicken rice shop style soup served, so when we were served soup rich with ingredients, it was really something else. It's not something out of the ordinary, but they at least paid more attention to it than any other restaurant we've been to.



Some of the dishes we've tried so far are the usual chicken, beef, and fish. But there's one quite interesting one; their curry intestines. And when they claim the dish it's spicy, trust us when we say, it's SPICY.




As for desert, we had one of their snow mountains. It was rather a lot for a single person, so we shared it together ~ It's nothing to brag about.. but still a nice closing to the wonderful meal =) We also tried their fried tapioca balls. It's a really nice snack to have just before a meal actually =P really delicious !




It's undeniable that we'll definitely make many more visits to this place in time to come. So, do give it a visit sometime !
