The 'Food Junction' foodcourt at the top floor of IOI City mall. It looks different from a few years ago.
These days, it’s common to see stalls selling malatang, Chinese Muslim (halal) food, and Indonesian ayam gepuk. Gone are the days of mixed rice and local fried dishes.
Nothing really appeals to me. So I went to AEON supermarket food court to continue my food hunt.
aha....D'Laksa!
Ordered a combo of asam laksa with cendol drink.
Waited for 10 minutes coz the staff was busy preparing for a large Grabfood 'delivery order'.
Both the asam laksa and cendol were just so-so....
The broth is not that spicy and abit diluted compared to last time.

There are a lot of other outdoor eateries with bistro-style & alfresco dining in IOI City Mall. These are mostly open at noon until late night (for bistro) which caters for the nearby hotel tenants. Before the pandemic, I used to have team dinner at this place. It was quite happening at night.
The pattern on the ceiling looks like a long snake. Don't you think so?

Braised chicken drumstick, tofu and egg with rice. Bought from the weekly pasar malam. Quite big portion. Taste good too.
This stall also sells lu rou fan (minced pork rice).
Will buy this again.

Unagi (eel) with omelet rice from AEON supermarket. Can't remember the exact price (somewhere between RM10-14) but still it is way cheaper than dine-in in Japanese restaurant where a bowl of unagi rice would usually costs above RM30.
will definitely buy this again😀

Unagi (eel) with omelet rice from AEON supermarket looks good. I will go look for it this Sunday. 😋
Ya, looks like 🐍
I have eaten Assam laksa at d'laksa once or twice only, too spicy 🥵🔥 and flavourful for me.
Yea, it used to be spicy & flavorful few years ago.
Hello Nux, I am not familiar with Muslim cuisine, meaning the type of dishes that are prepared, but I am definitely familiar with Halal food...I often buy the chicken (uncooked) at the grocery store, sometimes lamb as well.
I love all your photos. I do agree with you that the pattern on the ceiling in one of your photos looks like a long snake!
And getting back to Muslim cuisine...here in Montreal there is something called flat chicken which is supposed to be a common Muslim food. I have tried it a few times and it is quite delicious and tender! Not too spicy or hot, just a lovely flavour.
Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead.
Some Sundays when I pass bu Aeon foodcourt after my grocery run with my partner, we can smell the laksa frpm D'Laksa but we have yet to try it. Maybe standards have dropped. Ya, that pattern on the ceiling looks like a long snake with nice green scales. Not bad that pasar malam also got sell this type of meals. Cheap and good.
