Checking out an unconventional venue for a food review: Petaling Jaya’s Lotus Five Star State Cineplex.
PJ New Town’s Lotus State Cinema, where Magic 1 opened this year, serving hawker specialities in a setting that’s well-lit, clean-looking & completely comfortable.
Penang favourites form the focus; the selection ranges from a passable char kuey teow (below RM6, with several somewhat shrivelled cockles & a few fair-sized prawns) to assam laksa …
… & Hokkien Char with sambal belacan (relatively uncommon in the Klang Valley) to chicken lor bak, ais kacang & cendol.
The big surprise: Magic 1 offers wine (!!!), including an unusual Australian red laced with green tea (a little less alcohol, a lot more antioxidants), pleasant-tasting & refreshing for hot afternoons.
Ground Floor, Lotus State Cineplex, Petaling Jaya
Daily, 8am-midnight
