lunch at Fat Spoon before we went furniture shopping for our new unit in October. i've read so much about this quaint little cafe from a few blogs but never found the time to go and search for it. since we were already in PJ, i thought of having our late lunch there.

unique, charming, odd, quirky, old school and nostalgic - that's how i'll describe this place. when i stepped in, memories of yesteryears flashes. almost everything looked so familiar.

* how do you like Fat Spoon? :)

remember reading 'Peter & Jane' while i was still in kindergarten. they pasted their menus onto the pages of these Ladybird books. sheer brilliance, eh?

Fat Spoon serves homecooked Nyonya cook with a twist from Grandma's recipes.

* Nasi Ulam with Friend Chicken.

* Fat Spoon Noodles - love it!

this is the only place in KL by far (among all the eateries i've been to) which serves Poh Piahs that are similar to Penang's. i really dislike the KL style Poh Piahs, filled with lots of turnip and crispy stuffs. :/ really miss the ones from Mt. Eskrine. always ask the Uncle to add more crab meat. :D

back to Fat Spoon, i really like the interior and admire the effort put into renovating this place. the mismatched old furniture and decors makes it stand out from the rest of the typical Nyonya restaurants. favourite part would be the toilet's "wallpaper" which is made from old comic book spreads! come to think of it, this place is really eco friendly (am i using the right term here?). giving new lease of life to old furniture and recycling old books and decorative items. they even converted an old sewing table into a table!

food here = comfort food - simple and unpretentious. reasonably priced too! maybe i should bring my family there when they are in KL for Christmas. ;)
