Mmm Express, The Waterfront, Desa Park City (28 Feb 2009)

After the disappointing visit to the Desa Park City show gallery, I decided to have brunch at the Mmm Express restaurant at the Waterfront mall. The show gallery was only showcasing the new projects i.e. the Southgate luxury condominium and the Desa Park City Club House. Staff were not really friendly nor helpful. There weren't any show houses to view. That's what happens when demand is too good for a new development. The properties were seriously overpriced. Even though, the developer, Sam Ling does an excellent job with the up-keeping and maintenance of the amenities... it is still too expensive to pay RM1.4m for a ~1400 sq. feet apartment in Malaysia, at least.

Mmm Express is under the Sri Melaka group of restaurants. The menu consist of local delights and a la carte nyonya dishes. We ordered the set lunch menu which comes with a main, drink and dessert. For the main, we ordered the nasi lemak kapitan chicken and nasi lemak kapitan sotong. 

Service was quite alright as the restaurant was not that busy. The food however was not great. The kapitan sotong was boiled cuttlefish with curry gravy... like your sotong with kangkung but with curry gravy. The kapitan chicken was average. Taste was ok but portion was a small. The rice was quite "lemak" i.e. a lot of santan but a bit too soggy for me.

I have had better nasi lemak... so paying close to RM10 for a nasi lemak meal is not the best value for my money. The nasi lemak kapitan chicken set lunch was RM9.50 while the nasi lemak kapitan sotong set lunch was RM8.50.
