Food Review: Rama 9 @ Food Republic, One Utama

Hello everybody! I'm back with another food review. This time to the land of sawadikap located in 1 Utama. How have you been doing? Good or not? Yesterday was the premiere screening of Avengers and I went there early to avoid the powderful traffic jam on LDP. Being early, of cuz must fix my stomach la right? I didn't know what to eat and almost walk in Burger King for their value meal shit. Almost I said. Luckily beside the Burger King, there's another food court. In case you didn't know, it's called Food Republic. Many blogger blogged bout it before, and I never visited it before. So I decided to walk in to try the food there. Walao, don't say I cheapskate ok go eat food court, this is high class one. At least I pay double for what I'm about to pay in Burger King.

When I walk in, it's in merry go round. You walk round and round and still cannot decide what food to eat. Got Japanese Teppan-yucky la, got chicken rice, got malay rice, arabic rice, all sorts of food la. Little work, tarbush, all also got. I myself a fan of Thai food. So I gave this particular stall a go. It's called Rama 9. Why Rama? I don't know. Why 9? I also don't know. Maybe they have 9 bosses and all also name Rama.

Anyway, let's go to the food review as usual.

Tom Yum Gung with Prawn served with Rice Noodles

Fuah, this one power I tell you. See the picture I also feel hot and sexy. Basically it tasted like a real tom yum gung, and not those maggi paste soup base. What you get with this bowl? You're served with 4 medium sized prawns, deshelled. See they do the dirty job for you stripping down the prawns. And also decent size. Later I show you the size of the prawn ok? The soup, spicy spicy and oily abit. But cheap tom yam, ok la. Price also I tell you later. One thing I dislike is the noodles a bit too soft. Over cooked. Why la? How hard to cook beehoon? Or maybe I eat too slow then the beehoon grew soft. Oh another thing, don't expect to find sotong, fishaball or anything. They already stated clearly prawn. You get oyster mushroom, and a lot of cabbage with the prawn. That's about it. Not enough you eat the bowl also ok? Don't go complain and make yourself look like an elephant ok? Jackass is too rude and overused liao la.


Pad Thai

Fuu, this one awesome. Just enough heat to taste, and the nuts really gave the dish a much needed explosion. Let me put it this way. It tasted like char koey teow minus the shitbrix dirty wok taste, with really nutty fragrance. Damn awesome. They served 3 medium prawns with this. Same size as the tom yam earlier.

See I no lie you ok?



So overall, tuck mm tuck?

Tom Yum Gung - Tuck!
Pad Thai - TUCK!

Why tuck you ask despite I complain bout the noodles? Very simple. I paid RM 16.60 for this 2 dish. And with that, you get to buy any fizzy drinks for only RM 1.50 each. But the catch is you must buy 2. So half price, but must buy 2. Simply, buy 1 get 1 free. Good deal what? I forgot what's the name of the deal already. I think it's called Up Value Meal. Whatever up I don't care la, as long as not up car, then TUCK already!
