Review: Restoran Cozy Corner at Ampang Park

Did you know that Ampang Park have a lot of wonderful gems inside? Touted the oldest shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur, it's surprising that it's still abuzz with activities in here. Apart from the usual clothings, shoes, electrical, supermarket and so forth in here, hidden here is a shop selling and repair remote control (RC) cars which I used to visit with hubby and his RC enthusiast friend.

Inside the confusing tiers of shops, there are a lot of eating places. Aside from the super duper yummilicious roasted suckling pig at Sin Lok Restaurant, you can find lots of holes in the wall serving delicious goodies ranging from Chinese to Malay to Mamak fare. Other than these, we loved to visit Restoran Cozy Corner for they serve wonderful western and local cuisines, a place popular with the Malays since it's a halal joint. The Malays seems to be very fond of the Chinese noodles and dishes here which I feel one of the better halal place around town. Their sister over at GE Mall, Cosy House, is always crowded too but the food is not as good.

Cosy Corner is rather similar to The Ship except for the nautical theme. The menu for both western and local are very extensive.

I asked for a Sizzling Steak (RM30) which I think it's sirloin but I can't really remember. It came with a side salad of plain lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes topped with standard thousand island dressing; a bun; and the steak was accompanied by baked potato and tomato. Pretty standard fare there but the brown sauce was tasty and the meat was done just right as per my order of medium well.

Hubby's order of Bandung Fried Rice (RM8.50) is HUGE!!! Judging from the ingredients, it's rather value for money indeed. The rice is delicious accompanied by a medium sized piece of fried chicken, fried egg and papadums. There are lots of ingredients in the rice itself.

Service here is attentive and fast. Tasty food. Reasonabily priced. What more to ask for?

  10. Wow, this restaurant still ada ke? I think it has been in existent for more than 30 years. I remember going there when I was in primary school and I'm not young anymore. Hehehe. I remembered that we have to queue up for a table during the lunch time. My fav. dishes there are Mee kung foo, spag bol, chicken chop, and steak. I have to go there when I balik kampung. Bring back my childhood memories.

  15. Well, food is so so but service is TERRIBLE nowadays...waited for half an hour for a plate of char kuew teow. another time, found this little note attached to their menu for set lunch. We ordered the "chicken rice soup" set lunch and were served chicken rice and soup. Spent sometime waited for our dessert and tea and was told that what we had was chicken rice set, not set lunch! Lady boss even argue that we did not make our order clearly and it was partly our fault!! We are the customers...it can't be our fault that they served us chicken rice right?? Have to pay service charge some more!
