12 twelve cafe in Semenyih

We stumbled on this cafe one night. It is located on the main road on the left if you are travelling from Semenyih to Kajang near the Chinese New Village after the town (just after the junction to Sg Lallang/Nirwana).

Nice lit up signage

This place is full of surprises. It is located in a Chinese New Village and is actually an old new village house. I must take my hats off to the interior designers. They have used old furnitures, toys, recycled almost everything and it is worthwhile for one should just visit to place to have a look at the decor. Things and toys from the 1940s to 1990s are used in various places and art pieces also adorn the walls.

The menu is very extensive and prices are really reasonable. Of course you can't expect a Michelin star experience but overall the food is tasty and good service. Portions are quite large but mostly carbs to fill you up.

This is the first Eurasian restaurant to open in Kajang and it is located facing the SILK Highway in Taman Kajang Sentral (TKS) on the way to Semenyih. The restaurant enjoys a steady following who wish to have some western, Eurasian or Nonya style food.

We have been there a number of times and they make good pies. However, it runs out fast as many people call to book them. So it will depend on your luck. This time, we were there for a quick lunch and had sambal prawns, roast pork and fired chicken wings. They all come with rice.

KSK Briyani Restaurant in Yangon

Briyani is widely eaten and very popular in Myanmar although it was introduced here when Indian immigrants arrived here during the British rule. 

They are a few very popular and KSK is one of them. They have a few outlets in Yangon, each run by a son of the founder. When I used to spend time in Yangon many years ago, I normally frequented another old restaurant and so I was quite excited to try this as it was highly recommended.

Apparently Malaysian dignitories who come here are oftern served from this restaurant as it is halal. I was not dissapointed. The food is really good. My Burmese friend had 3 plates of rice...wow.

If you like briyani, make sure you visit this place during your trip to Yangon. I do not have the address but I am sure most locals will know this place as briyani is very popular with all the races in Myanmar.

Until the next time, cheers.
