    Introduction:

    A unique restaurant hidden at the all time jam area- Damansara Utama but yet popular for it's food and concept.

    Ambiance:
    The eestaurant offers a unique concept: quaint, warm old-school-classic-meets-contemporary space. The mismatching of the wooden tables,chairs and vintage furnitures with not overly decorated cafe creates a homey old style ambience. And the menu is presented in the "Peter & Jane" story book.

    Food & Beverages

    The restaurant serves authentic grandma recipe, which suits one's discerning palates. The menu covers Peranakan cuisine, Chinese cuisine as well as Malay and Western cuisine that has a rustic, home cooked flavour, which evokes a comforting familiarity. Besides that, Fat Spoon cafe is famous for its coffee as well.

              

    Homemade Popiah @ RM 7.90
    The Chinese style popiah is famous for it's pork lard taste. But at Fat Spoon Cafe ( a pork free cafe) the popiah is prepared without pork lard. My thoughts -it would be good and I was wrong-Tasted good indeed!

    Cappuccino @ RM 7.90
    Passionly brewed. Aromatic!

       

    Fried Mackerel & Gingerflower Salad @ RM 15.90
    Served with a side of medium boiled egg and lemongrass soup. Very well marinated crispy fried mackerel. Honestly, that piece was just not enough! Simply appetizing!

    Nasi Kampung @ RM 14.90
    Fat Spoon special platter with curry chicken, tamarind prawns, belacan long beans, salted egg and papadum served with steam rice.  Tasty thick curry gravy pairing with belacan long beans means awesome.


    Wrap up:

    Love the quaint and laid back hippy ambiance. It's neither wildly innovative nor convulsively uproarious restaurant but it definitely offers a warm and cozy environment to chill and dine in for some good food or perhaps for some snacks and coffee.
