Fat Spoon--Damansara Uptown

I had lunch with my friend from college yesterday. Before our lunch, she broke the news to me--she married just three months ago. Ha! I believe all of the girls whom I have ever liked will eventually tie the knot before I do.

We had lunch at this new restaurant in Damansara Uptown called "Fat Spoon". The name tells you nothing, except that perhaps you shouldn't expect to come out skinny?

My first time there, I was pleasantly surprised by the deco. The theme of the restaurant was something along the lines of "grandmother's memories...excellent recipes... " (something, or not, like that). Tables were either made from round marble tops or wood that says 'old' instead of 'polished'. Lighting was just bright enough, making use of the large window. Wall colors were light, complemented nicely by the ample amount of wood and bricks in the deco.
Most interesting was perhaps the irregular combination of chairs. They seemed to just pack up a bunch of chairs from different houses and save on the cost of buying a matching set. It works though, to the point that my friend said she wanted their chairs.




What I liked best was their menu, literally. I like their menu design, though I also liked what was on the menu.

The first page of their menu. On the left you also see my one and only (thus favourite) sunglasses.

 Their menus were old Key-Reading Books (the Ladybird, Peter and Jane series) onto which they paste their list of food and drinks.  I was debating if  this is more of innovative or vandalism...but I decided on the former.


 Addition to the menus are written on the chalk board.



They serve a mix of Chinese and Malay dishes, even Nyonya cuisine. I ordered their classic Claypot Loh Shu Fun. It was okay. Quite nice actually, though after trying it, I personally prefer the non-claypot style. Matter of personal taste.

I ordered the Loh Shu Fun (RM8.90) and a glass of Iced Cincau (~RM3.50) for a total of RM13.40. Uptown restaurant with air-con and such a different deco, this price is acceptable lah.

Will probably come back.
