Kampung Delights

We ventured up to level 2 of the Food Alley in Albert Street to Kampung Delights which specialises in Malaysian cuisine. As we visited in the weekend, only a limited menu was available and to our disappointment did not include the vegetarian combo or dessert.

We ordered five dishes which was almost half of the meals available. Our recommendation would be to visit during the week when a more extensive menu is available. Overall the dishes met the standards required from a food court restaurant and left us pleasantly satisfied.

The first dish we started with was the prawn sambal. This had all the basic elements of a good sambal although the salt, sweet and spice flavour was a bit inconsistent. There was a decent amount of fresh tasting prawns and overall this dish was one of our favourites.

The black pepper beef dish was let down by the beef itself which was dry and chewy. The sauce however was delicious, which we enjoyed with the vegetables. This dish could definitely use another generous cup of vegetables.

Chicken rendang was another hit. This dish consisted of clean, white chicken breast with a tasty sauce. However if were to have this delight by itself, the coconut flavouring would overpower the other positive elements of the dish.

We liked the Vermicelli noodles with lamb - it was was a nice light dish but we suggest this should be considered as a side dish not a main. The lamb lacked in quantity and quality. We were also slightly disappointed that the Seafood mee goreng only contained prawns. It also could have also used more vegetables.

Overall the meals were satisfactory. The chicken rendang and prawn sambal stood out for us and we rated them highly. In terms of a food court restaurant we would happily visit here again for a quick, cheap bite.
