Famous affordable western food in PJ. The sauce and the food was good, salty and tender, just the chef need to improve on the grilling skill, other than that, this is a really good place for western craving fix. Price: RM13, Food: 6/10
So creamy and yummy!
Grilled Octopus Tentacle ! So Sedap...
Something different
Grilled chicken breast with Cajun spice, sliced and layered with organic nut and seed, served on lightly mashed potato and carrot. Finally drizzled with Fig chutney sauce.
🥗 + 🍟 + 🍗 for less than RM20 at Friday’s is definitely a good catch, never mind the quality (it didn’t disappoint, so that’s good). Definitely filling as there were two pieces of chicken, definitely value for money if you ask me.
It's name compelled me to order it!
It wasn't bad.
They upgraded! The whole kopitiam has evolved into a one whole shop just to serve their western food and drinks. No more other little stalls.
Don't worry, the food is still as yummy as ever. But the prices have increased slightly.
They are now open from 6pm to 12am.
Eighty9’s version of dan dan, like its other dishes, sees a local twist. In place of tongue-numbing Szechuan peppercorns, find your noodles tossed in buzzy dried prawn chilli sauce, topped with aromatic siew yuk (more on this below) and peanut brittle. The addition of a childhood snack is clever, while adding a nice, nostalgic crunch.
The Aromatic Tossed Siew Yuk (RM12) is sublime on its own, sticking stubbornly to the dark, flavoursome glaze of thick soy and fried garlic. This same delight is sadly, lost on the noodle dish, muddled by too many overpowering flavours in the same bowl.
Frequented by hungry families and elderly uncles rallying for an innocuous beer night, Kuan Yew sees its fair share of buzz, which makes it a great, no-frills spot to bring a friend. The unassuming hawker centre also houses one of Kelana Jaya's most-loved choices for Western food, the perennial Michael's. Score a value-for-money dinner of Chicken Chop (RM10), a generous serving of deep-fried battered chicken with a slosh of their trademark sauce. A little sweet but mostly savoury, the onion-topped orange gravy also goes well with fries — we'll say skip the less appealing coleslaw. For RM20, Michael's turns out a more than decent Sirloin Steak, usually seared to a nice, reddish medium-well. You could ask for a pinker cook on the steak, but seeing as the shop is often up to their necks in orders, there'd be no guarantees! Apart from this stall, there is also a small tai chow (otherwise known as siu chow) hawker and a satay spot that comes in handy for variety.

In a neighbourhood where local food is king, Western establishments might find trouble garnering a following. That's not the case for Eighty9, which strikes a smart balance between the two, cooking up locally-inspired eats in a finer setting replete with beer and wine. Come for the pork dishes, executed with the wok hei know-how of local cooks and the finesse of Western chefs. The Aromatic Tossed Siu Yuk (RM12) reigns supreme — twice-cooked roast pork belly evenly coated in a sweet-sticky glaze redolent with dark soy sauce and fried garlic. Also easy to love is their Dan Dan Noodles (RM20) that sees springy noodles on spicy dried prawn chilli, topped off with a small serving of that aromatic roast pork. For something meat-based, the tender Bak Kut Teh Ribs (RM29) nuanced with herbal flavours might be right up your alley. The menu also sees some quintessentially Western dishes, but we found that they do fusion best, so stick to the hybrids!
