TKS?

Siew Yum and I have been on a journey to find us some Sichuan food in KL to rival that of Dainty's in Melbourne. Oooh just the mention and thought of Dainty's is making my mouth water. How can one have such fond attachments to food??! Siew Yum will understand me.

Months ago as I was driving along Jalan Alor, with its brightly lit restaurants side by side along the entire street, I noticed out of the corner of my eye, a particular restaurant with a huge neon sign with photos of the food they sell. Actually most of the restaurants along Alor have a huge neon sign with photos plastered on it. Somehow, I noticed this one, Kedai Makanan & Minuman TKS. No, I dont know what it stands for. So, as I noticed the neon sign, I spotted a photo of the chilli fish hotpot I always crave for when in KL. So I tell Siew Yum and Audrey Hepburn my delightful find. Audrey Hepburn asked if it was safe in Alor, you know how its not known for its cleanliness or hygienic premises. Well, I dont know if it's safe, but we always seem to eat at WAW and we're still alive. So cant be that bad.

Long story short, months went by and we never went to try TKS out. Then just about 3 weeks ago, Mr Fukuharu told us about a great Sichuan restaurant in KL. And guess what? He had suggested TKS. So Odie, Siew Yum and I went along with Mr Fukuharu to give this Sichuan place a go. We ordered all the things we would order at Dainty's and the food was yummmmmo!! The place was quite ordinary though. By the road, sitting outside, inhaling the fresh whiff of sewer stench and rats running around (Lesson #1 to note, never look down when in Alor, you never know what you might find). Every dish looked almost the same as Dainty's, some even tasted better than Dainty's especially the Chilli Pei Dan.

Since then, Siew Yum and I have been there again and brought Twitter and Audrey Hepburn along. They were in heaven! No longer do we have to wait till we make a trip to Melbourne for this taste of gluttony heaven. We have it in the heart of KL :-D

I love Sichuan food!
