Feeding Joeboy started off as a Photo album in 2013 that soon evolve into a page in early 2014. This page journals my Malaysian journey through food, places and events as I undercover the beauty that lies on my own backyard for the world to sample, see and save as memories for a lifetime. In memoriam of my late auntie, Caroline Wong who went home to be with the Lord in July 2014.

I wished that was the case 🤑

Stumbled upon KAYA Kopitiam | Hartamas on GrabFoodMY. Found out it just open sometime mid July and is approaching its one month in operation. Modern day kopitiam serving a variety of local favourites as well as a very cute capybara gyoza from Neko Gyoza whose owner is one of the co-owner of this place. Also noteworthy, this place used to be Syarikat Hor Kee which served similar dishes having seen the number of Google Reviews, not sure if it’s been rebranded or taken over. Had ordered twice from this place within a week and here’s what I had.

Had the Signature Golden Rich Hor Fun Soup 招牌金汤河 where the broth was truly liquid gold. Very very good. Good sizable drumstick that could be cut smaller. Noticeable missing prawn slices from a usual Kai Si hor Fun though I like the generous portion of “kaw choi”. Decent Signature Hakka Mee with Crispy Prawn Wantan鲜虾炸云吞客家面 with a similar but less kaw broth. Good Hainanese Chicken Chop 海南炸鸡扒 with a good batter and an interesting tangy brown sauce. With every order, you get a complimentary egg tart. An effective marketing feature that got me ordering a box of Kaya Portugese + Molten Lava Kaya Egg Tarts (3+3pcs Box Set）咖央双味蛋挞. Decent dim sum having ordered char siu pau, har kau and siew mai. Nice egg tarts, almost similar to the other popular kopitiam. Found the Lava Kaya Egg Tart interesting though can be tad filling but don’t expect the kaya to ooze out from the egg tart. Reminds me of eating kaya toast + half boiled eggs but in a tart version. Overall, good meal and hope to visit their physical shop one day with a group for a second review.

Or is it?

Visited Coast & Roast, a concept by Fish & Co. Malaysia on the invitation of a birthday celebration. I’ve known Fish & Co for sometime due to a late family member who used to co-owned this establishment many years ago. This new concept is said to offer more premium seafood as well as extending the menu further with meat cooked using a Joseph oven which is said to cooked meat inside with perfection with a nice charred outside and artisanal butter for a differentiated offering. This place was one of the pioneer restaurants when KLGCC MALL opened end October 2025.

Stepping in, the interior was upscale. Wood, yellow lightings and a row of bottled lemons which created a pop of colour in the space. Good amount of seating areas, both inside and outside with the view of KLGCC golf course which is unfortunately, under construction. Food wise, ordered a few appetisers with the nicest being the Grilled Brussels Sprout and Crispy White Bait the notable ones. Had the Mussels with Artisan Butter with the recommended Piri Piri butter. Mussels were decent quality but I found the butter a bit “jelak” for a satisfying experience. New York Fish & Chips and Best Fish & Chips were good but there was little difference than what you can get at the original Fish & Co aside from the higher price point. There is the combo mains with Grilled Chicken, Golden Fried Fish and Paella Rice where I hear Grilled Chicken is good. Wished to try the Josper selection but found prices steep. Overall, good attempt to branch off from seafood but having more reasonable prices could help ease the transition and acceptance else Fish & Co will still be preferred especially for fish & chips.

If you eat this everyday, you can be.

Ayam Gepuk has recently become a trending food in Malaysia while it’s said have originated from Central Java. Some may think it’s the same with ayam penyet or ayam geprek as its annotation refer to it being smashed or pressed. As more and more ayam gepuk shop emerge including one from a well known influencer who’s recent shop created a frenzy that people were willing to wait up to 4 hours for it. I told myself, no. Let’s wait for the vitality to die down and go try what an actual ayam gepuk really taste like. So I scoured Google Maps and GrabFoodMY, and I found AyamGepukGanas located in Plaza Damas, Desa Sri Hartamas.

Ordered Set C comprising of ayam gepuk, choice of either kubis goreng (fried cabbage) or kangkung goreng (fried water spinach/morning glory), choice of sirap ais (iced sirap) or teh o ais (iced tea) and 3 level sambal (normal, spicy or extra spicy). I selected kubis goreng, sirap ais and spicy as well as topped up kangkung goreng just to compare.

Loved it especially the chilli and cashew nut sauce. So flavourful. Fried chicken was nice though a tad dry as I got the breast part. Both kubis and kangkung were nice though slightly oily. There was tempeh goreng and tofu goreng as well so technically, many items on this dish is fried. My first Ayam Gepuk and looking to try others to compare among the originals before trying the reinterpreted versions. But I hope to eat this ayam Gepuk at the shop itself to compare if there is any difference.

Thai inspired that was birthed in Malaysia with a dream to set foot in Thailand and grow in the region.

What attracts you initially is the interior. The purple signboard and bright colours with an interior that mimics food stalls in Thailand. Visited Thai Chicken Rice Station 6th outlet in Publika Shopping Gallery where they have now 9 outlets all together in small to mid shopping malls. Started by four partners with one being a local Thai aunty who was brought in specially to share her family multi generational recipe. Their purpose? To bring authentic Thai cuisine to Malaysia with an intent to bring the brand back to Thailand to solidify their authenticity and grow in the region. Based on my checks, the word “Station” has a dual reason behind it. People can stop anytime and promise of serving speed of 8 minutes. A bold promise but I like their simplistic, easy to understand branding.

Speaking of speed, both my Mixed Chicken Rice Set and Thai Milk Tea came in at around 7 minutes while the Green Papaya Salad came in at 24 minutes which I believed they had forgotten and had to remind when it didn’t arrived. Thai Milk Tea was on the sweeter despite indicating less sweet. For the Mixed Chicken Rice, it was a good chicken rice with the fried version preferred over the boiled one. Interestingly, I like the soup that came with it which was mild and comforting. 4 condiments an available with red chilli sauce I like the most. Good Green Papaya Salad which was well balanced though I wished I had more of the dried shrimp for added “umami”. Overall, a good, easy going, quick spot which I found better than a recent “trending” Thai chicken rice shop.

No bread was harmed in this meal.

Finally, setting foot into Bread & Bakar having seen this place many time passing through this road. From the owners of the now closed Aman Suria pattypie and Sunway 163 Mall CRUST (now is Nasi Lemak Shop), this all day breakfast and brunch spot had opened in sometime in March 2026 have since extended its operating hours serving dinner as well. Parking is a breeze here as you only need to head down to the basement carpark in Kami meant for the shops and it’s free (do not there is about 10-15 lots). Upon entering the space, you be greeted with a well lit brick wall interior, thanks to floor to ceiling windows overlooking the busy Jalan Duta Kiara. Not a big seating area. Like the “mossy” tables that give a different feel of eating with the “greens”.

Ordered a mixture of brunch and lunch items. Menu seems mixed where you have breads, Western, Middle Eastern and local options which could appear too diverse. You can choose their breakfast combo options ranging between 2-5 items. The croissant here is huge and flaky, seemingly akin to puff pastry. Ordered their cheeseburger and fries and it’s a good burger, very similar to Crust. Moist, juicy and holds well. Saw local options and being a local food fanboy, I couldn’t help not ordering the laksam which is rare to see in a cafe setting. Nice fishy white broth although I noticed the green toppings were slightly wilted. Had the Camembert and was surprised to see generous serving of “naan” like bread which was crunchy. I know I may have only skimmed the surface of this place when I saw what the adjacent neighbour had. Also, pizzas which was known at Crust are only available at night and there is buy 1 free 1 promo if you wish to try. I know I would.

If you enjoy confectionary items and cakes.

Visited TBX • THE BAKING XPERIMENT after a friend suggested a nearby cafe to kill time and catchup. Upon entering, decent interiors for people to unwind and catchup. Nice variety of breads, cakes and desserts. Realised after that this place have a sizeable following as they do wholesale cakes, events and catering. Ordered a few items namely carrot cake and shiopan which was decent. For me, got a thirst quencher passionfruit fizz to cool down from the blistering heat but unfortunately, found it to be a tad watered down. Limited hot food available. Post visit, I noticed they have an interesting tapai tiramisu which I found unique and may swing by again to satisfy my curiosity if am around the area.

Honestly, this is truly Aroi Mak Mak Mak Mak!!!!

Authentic Thai Food by Thai In-Law exploded into the hawker world as husband and wife team, Malaysian Jeremy.woon and Thai gale_nungira (Gale and Jeremy | Couple Lifestyle) decided to leave their “atas” fledgling flying careers at SIA to start something of their own. What I came to know is this is not their first foray into the F&B world but they had started something similar, home delivery called Thaitanic in Singapore during Covid-19 period in 2020. Their first day was on 4 July 2026 but became viral from 27 July 2026 onwards after numerous foodie channels and influencers spill the beans that created a surge in demand that they had to closed shop from 1st Aug 2026 before reopening again on 19th Aug 2026.

So is all the hype real? That was my first impression coming into the shop. Honestly, I was skeptical especially hearing the long wait time. Dropped my order with whom I believed was Jeremy’s mom at 12.53pm. As there were only two items on the menu, I ordered all of it. Was told to wait for 40 mins. In 8 mins, both 东炎妈妈面
TOMYAM MAMA ZAAB and 干东炎面 DRY TOMYAM arrived. Guessed I was destined to eat here. As I dug into the noodles, I was surprised. It was AMAZING! Good, fresh ingredients and full of flavours. Meat was fresh. Between the two bowls, I prefer the Tomyam Mama Zaab. The broth was fire 🔥. I wished I had some rice to finish it completely. Dry tomyam was equally good but less desirable texture wise due to the soggy flat noodles. By 1.30pm, the “Sold Out” sign sprung up. Hype can only bring you so far but these noodles were actually really, really good. It made my day.

In my tummy for sure and maybe a bit on the wallet.

There is a new ice cream place, TUG Gelato™ by The Unusual Greens that have since opened at Steppes @ Mont Kiara for diners who like to end their visit here on a sweet note. This is their third outlet after Bangsar (Flagship) and Equine. TUG stands for The Unusual Greens was founded by Hailey Yong with the intention of combatting food waste by selecting odd looking fruits that was perceived inferior to make gelato.

First impression, I like the space. You have various seating areas, both outside and inside to choose from. With the blistering heat these days, where ice cream come in handy, there is limited seats inside if you wished to feel cool inside out. You wait in queue before heading to the ice cream area for taste test before proceeding to the cashier to make your orders. There is both gelato and platted desserts to choose. Just take note that some flavours may not be available as they could be sold out for the day. The only grievances I had here is the flow where upon ordering at the cashier, you’ll need to circle back to the front to collect your order. So how was the ice cream? We ordered Mango Sorbet, Roasted Pistachio and Osmanthus Strawberry Sorbet with our preference rank in order. Smooth, flavourful and delectable. Complimentary water available to wash it all down.

Guessed they lived up to their name.

I was told by my friends of this value for money meat place. My second attempt coming here. TME | The Meat Experts is located in a quiet neighbourhood of Bukit Damansara near to Stella Maris International School. Just take note they have a sister location at 3 Damansara as I saw mother and son got off from Grab at the wrong location having book the other venue.

Coming in, you be greater by a fully packed out chiller sausages, steaks and marinated meats on offer. There was also a special of the months which included Sambal Belacan Glazed Pork Belly which I was tempted to order.

Got a mixture of items to sample, thanks to the recommendation of a young guy who saw through my orders. Loved their sausages (ordered the Spanish Bursting, Evergood Mango and Beer Bratwurst), Argentina Angus Grainfed Ribeye (Medium) and Sharwama Chicken Chop. I was truly surprised with the portions for add on sides where I chose everything available which include Mash Potatoes, Coleslaw, Mesclun Salad and Potato Salad to both balance and fill up. Pasta were decent though I felt the Aglio Olio Bacon was a tad too oily. Least favourite was the Onion Soup which felt watered down. Overall, good service and good value for the amount we ordered. Make sure you make a reservation before coming because the place can be packed out. There’s additional seating upstairs. I like that they ask your group dynamics during reservations to ensure you get the right table especially if you are coming with elderly or kids.

In Chow Yang SS2 Kopitiam, minus the mountain water and limestone hills.

Most people would already know this stall. And if you don’t, they sell the well love “sah kok” yong tau fu that is popular in Ipoh. They also sell homemade rice noodles that looks like “lai fun” which is known to me as the noodle used for Seremban beef noodles. Grab your desired yong tau fu pieces that is RM2/piece and order your preferred noodle choice if you like. Overall, mine came to a decent RM13.50 for 5 yong tau fu items, quenched down by a nice barley kosong ice. Overall, I like this bowl of noodles. But don’t come late as they sell out as early as 1.30pm.
