Feeling hungry after a morning movie of Monster vs. Aliens at 1Utama Shopping complex. Head out to the new wing that lines up with lots of new restaurants. Its nearby the Cold Storage Supermarket. You can't miss it as there is a old bicycle placed outside the restaurant. After viewing a lot of the new restaurants around the area, we decided to pack our tummies with Otak-Otak Place.
They were offering a lunch package meal for 2 person. 4 dishes plus 1 soup, 2 rice and 2 choices of drinks. All for only RM18. Not to waste time scouting for other seemingly nice looking food restaurants as we got another movie to attend at 2pm, we decided to try out the Otak-otak Place. Besides, we can try out the other restaurants other time. Just making this our 1st stop.
We ordered the lunch meal set. The seatings is cozy and comfortable. My only concern is that the waiters and waitress should have more attention to look out for customer's calling and not talking to among each other.
The 1st 3 dishes are spicy tofu with peanuts, acar-acar and spicy gravy chicken (countable. 4 small piece only. About the size of a quarter chicken). Soto ayam soup. The soup was not hot enough. But it wasn't cold either. Just not hot enough to be a hot soup.. that's what I was just implying.
The 2 drinks were hot barli and an Ice-lemon tea. I didn't snap the photo of the ice-lemon tea drink because it wasn't a nice drink to begin with. So, I didn't bother to snap a photo of it. The barli however was very nice. That's why the photo is here.
The last dish was the otak-otak. I'd give it one thumbs up. Almost similar taste to the famous Muar Otak-otak. I think that's why the restaurant's name is also based on its signature dish as well. It was almost like saving the best dish for the last but unfortunately, either we're very hungry or they took a longer time to cook it. The otak-otak dish only came when we're almost finishing the rest of the dishes and the white rice we had.
Overall, a nice place to eat as the food is ok. But preferred if they buck up their customer service.
