Decided to try out the flag ship stall of Madam Kwan's after hearing rave reviews about this place which originates from KL. The restaurant is pretty big, able to house at least 200 diners at one go. At the entrance you get to see posters about Mdm Kwan's news and its history. Apparently it started out as Sakura Restaurant along Jln Imbi which was famous for their nasi lemak and curry assam fish head. Sakura was later rebranded to Mdm Kwan's.

The interior deco is done up in modern contemporary and clean lines design. The long drinks and dessert bar and cashier separates the entrance to the kitchen. Tables are oriented in different fashion and not just plain and uniformed straight lines. Cutlery used were bigger than the usual ones at home and thumbs up for that, makes it easier to eat. Lighting wise, each seat has its focused light at the centre of table, the soft lighting does make the restaurant cosy despite its hard wooden/plastic chairs.
Anyway Madam Kwan was on site, mainly helping to usher guest to their tables. She was dressed in her signature look of khaki round hat, specs and sporting a mole on the left. She was very soft spoken when i say hi to her and merely thank me for coming by. Wanted to talk to her more but i could tell she is busy with the incoming guests so i left her to work.Back to the food, me and my friends ordered Nasi Bojari ($18.90, Madam's tri-colured rice with assam prawns, beef rendang and deep fried chicken drumstick, the beef rendang is very good 4/5) Otak Otak ($15.90 - spicy fish paste grilled in banana leaf, very nice feels quality fish mix inside 5/5), Banana Fritters with Ice Cream ($8.90 - a hot and cold combination, with the fried pisang crispy on the crust yet with the soft banana inside 4/5) and Bubur Chacha ($5.90 - plenty of sweet potato, yam, tapioca and sago cokked in thick coconut milk 4/5). By the way ice water is charged at $1 per glass. The condiments provided are a trio of spicy stuff, sambal chilli 4/5, chilli sauce 3/5 and chilli padi (no rating required , standard item mah)
Overall a fantantic eat, also see other interesting dishes ordered at adjacent table for e.g. malaysian satay 40grams each, black KL Hokkien Mee, and the curry chicken of course.
