Dinner @ Great King City

Since GSC opened its doors, we have been frequently going there for movies on weekends. To watch a movie is to feast your senses, I always think. You sit there in the plush seats, relaxing in the dark while you immerse your sense of sight to the amazing visuals on screen. Your ears pick up the the varied sound effects .... while the buttery scent of popcorn tickle your nose. Well ... not all stories are enjoyable .... but most visual and sound effects are mind-blowing!

Anyway, going to Bintang Plaza on a Saturday night is not something that I like to do, mainly because it is so difficult to find a parking for the car. The other day, we parked near the restaurant, Great King City at Bintang Commercial Centre, and therefore, proceeded there for dinner before our movie.

The place was filled up quickly .... and we had to wait for 30 minutes before we were served our food. By then, we were all starving already!

The first dish to arrive was

Thai-style pork chop

The meat was of reasonable thickness and coated and then deep-fried. A concoction of spicy, sweet and tangy sauce was then poured over the meat, and garnished with shredded carrot, onions and chillies. We enjoyed this dish a lot.

Stir-fried chicken with ginger and spring onion

We did not like this dish much .... I found it too starchy, and the fragant flavour of the ginger and spring onion did not come through. 

Sizzling tofu

This dish was delicious. The silken square tofu was soft and smooth, fragrant, and egg. The sauce was savoury and rich ... and was delicious with the rice. There was an egg cooked on the hot-plate and that was nice with the sauce too. 

 Baby kalian stir-fry with garlic

The vegetables were well-fried, crunchy and nicely flavoured. 

Despite the long wait, we rather enjoyed the dinner. The meal cost us RM48.00 inclusive of 3 drinks. We thought the price was reasonable. No wonder this place was so crowded.
