MEMD @ Sri Petaling

Passing by this eatery and saw a signboard of set lunch at RM15 nett. Looks quite value-for-money, so I went in impromptu-ly.
I ordered a nasi lemak with pork cutlet and paid at the counter.
When the staff asked where I'd be seated, I just glanced around and saw that it has indoor and outdoor seatings. It was a hot day, so definitely indoor!
Look at lighting effect on the wall...so mesmerizing...
They only have blackcurrant drink, so instead of getting an iced peach tea, i got a blackcurrant drink😐
not my type of drink....
Anyway, here's the bill....it is indeed RM15 nett, without any additional charges like service charges or tax.
After waited for about 5-10 minutes my food came...
The pork cutlet looks huge, but it was thin and mostly flour coating. It tastes OK though.
The sambal wasn't spicy. Quite basic nasi lemak with all the condiments except peanuts😐
Nice try but not impressive. Most of the items in the menu are western or fusion food, still not quite sure what's their specialty, but nasi lemak is definitely not one of them.

Foloso 'Lui Cha' and Pakkopi Kaw Kaw 'Nasi Lemak'

Foloso
Tried the thunder tea rice in Foloso vegetarian restaurant. It was served on a tray with fancy bowls and saucers.
Instead of peanuts, they provided cashew nuts. Other ingredients are tempeh, diced fried tofu, beans, chai poh and mustard greens. The soup (lui cha) was served piping hot, thick and strong of basil taste which I like👍
The interior of the restaurant. It is located nearby the entrance of the Pinnacle mall.
A good meal if you want to detox with some greens.
Total price for this is RM19.90

Pakkopi Kaw Kaw
My last time having a meal at Pakkopi Kaw Kaw was last year...I usually ordered their curry mee which has charsiew pork and thick curry. I remembered the price during then was slightly below RM13 after service charges and tax.
Recently I went there again and noticed that their menu has changed with drastic increase in price. A bowl of (small) curry mee costs RM15.50 now...and that is yet to include the service charges and tax.
Other items in the menu also have the prices revised. Inflation hit hard!
This is my order. Instead of having curry mee, i had nasi lemak with fried chicken leg. There is a piece of curry potato given with the curry gravy. Tastes so-so, nothing to shout about. 
The bill came to around RM19+ after tax/service charges.

Chicken Rice Stall in Good Morning Cafe

There is a makeshift structure built at the open space carpark in the neighborhood commercial area, right next to the Telekom building and opposite Pinnacle mall. It was either last year or the year before and it is now operated by Good Morning Cafe.
A chicken rice stall was opened late last year, rented a small space in this structure. It sells chicken drumstick rice for only RM7, which is a good price.
I ordered a plate to try and add-on with blanched beansprout for RM2.
The juicy and boneless chicken drumstick. The bone is removed by default without being request. Easy to eat.
The chicken rice stall is operated separately from Good Morning Cafe, hence ordering and payment are made separately.
I also ordered a bowl of wanton soup from Good Morning Cafe via their online ordering system. There are 5 pieces of wantons for RM6.
My extravagant meal which costs RM7+2+6 = RM15 nett in total.
The chicken rice was OK, so i decided to tapao again a few weeks later.
Here's the tapao version.
Quite generous portion.

Few months later, I tried the Char Kuey Teow from Good Morning Cafe.
Opted for yellow noodles mixed with kuey teow. This CKT doesn't have siham (cockles), which is good coz i dun eat siham
Tastewise OK, it has slight wok-hei. 
Any CKT that is consumed hot (and fresh from the wok) would taste good anyway😋
