Food Republic @ Pavillion KL

Another imported food concept/restaurants from down south. Food republic from Singapore is here. Even the stalls are mostly the same as the Food Republic in Vivo City. Two of the stalls that are similar are Toast box and Thye Hong. It is situated on Lower Ground floor of Pavillion.

Having read about the Oyster Omelette, I went to order it and realised that it is the same stall as the Food Republic in Singapore. The stall is called Thye Hong but their signature dish is their fried hokkien noodle. It is really famous in Singapore but instead I opted for oyster omelette-my fav :) For RM8.90, the portion is pretty alright and they did not skimp on the oysters! They are pretty big compared to those sold at hawker places in KL.

We ordered Assam Laksa too which is not available in Food Republic Singapore :p The assam laksa noodle is really delicious in the sense that their noodles contains more rice, thus a better texture. The soup is excellent too. Sorry no pictures of it because it was slurped up too fast :p

We had the Vietnamese Seafood salad which was pretty alright. Sour and tangy, it really opens up your palate. However, it wasn't really that outstanding. Not much seafood in there.

Ordered the Ais Kacang Special with Durian at RM4.50. It looks nice as in there are many colours but it is not really good compared to the ones outside. The durian taste is a little on the artificial side and they weren't very generous with ingredients like red beans, nuts, atapchi and corn.

The tea and coffee from Toast Box is nice too. However, there was a long wait because they were running out of cups to serve!
