Precious
Most of the time, when people go out to eat, they look for good food. However, at times, that isn't good enough. Some people look for ambience. Others demand excellent service. Of course, a place with all three would be ideal, but at end of the day, you get what you're paying for. But then, sometimes you don't get what you're paying for. We sometimes pay top dollar for diva-esque waiters, crappy food and lousy eating conditions. Getting to the point, I recently visited a quaint little restaurant in Central Market, by the name of Precious. It is like the restaurant equivalent of a boutique hotel. The interior is filled to the brim with antiques. The feel is predominantly oriental, very woody with an eclectic mix teak furniture and buddhist pieces. They serve Baba and Nyonya cuisine and the price is just slightly above average. A word of warning though, the kitchen is quite slow, even when preparing set lunches. The taste is average. But I don't really mind, their choice of music is excellent. On the day I was there, they were playing a cover of Chinese oldies with a lounge twist. I was so enthralled that I nearly wanted to raid their music player nestled in the antique dish cabinet... If only I wasn't so famished....

This isn't that much of a review! Now I'm still wondering if it's worth making a trip down there.
Btw, I found a really yummy place to makan in Semenyih! Good food and bloody cheap price. Still cheap even after deducting your toll and gas expenses. ;)
Much self-restraint to not snapping pics of the food. But anyway, that's why I was talking of ambience.
Semenyih!!! Kampung mana tu?
