Rice is a staple food for Malaysians, especially Chinese. But we can't always go to Dragon-I or Crystal Jade for lunch. We all need a quick lunch to keep us going through the day. So we all resort to economy rice.
You might be wondering why I'm suggesting the "best" economy rice or "zap fan". I'm a frequent economy rice eater because it feeds my whole family at a cheap price. But it fills us up efficiently. Some economy rice stalls here in Malaysia are bland, oily and dirty. Some are very expensive too. (I'm looking at you food courts)
But this stall at Kepong is my favourite.
There's quite a lot of dishes and there's always a special everyday. (Note: Yong tau fu every Wednesday, pork curry every Thursday - must try!)
The dishes aren't bland at all but full of flavour. The crispy fried chicken is delicious. There's plenty of varieties for stir fried vegetables. Especially bittergourd. It's cooked down till it's not butter at all!!
Price always ranges around 4-6 ringgit depending on how many dishes you take. Just leave the price calculation to the auntie managing the stall.
The stall is always crowded by 11.30am and finished selling by 1.30pm. A queue of customers starts to form by 11am. It is that good guys!
Although economy rice is not really a healthy option because it is rather oily. They're better than your McDonalds because you're having a balanced meal with cooked whole foods. Also you have a variety of dishes to choose from. Choose wisely then! π
