Mention the name “Madam Kwan’s” and nasi lemak immediately comes to mind. We went for lunch at the Pavilion outlet. The restaurant was rather full with lunch time office crowd but the waiter managed to get us a table.

I ordered the fried rice, while my colleague ordered the chicken chop and another friend ordered the nasi lemak. The food took rather long to come which is bad as lunch time is rather short and service needs to be quick. The chicken chop came first, followed by the nasi lemak and fried rice.

The chicken chop was rather disappointing as it tasted bland and the mushroom sauce that came with it was too little. My fried rice was also tasteless except for the little bits of salted fish. I did not ask about the nasi lemak but judging from how the friend finished the meal, it should be okay.

I also ordered cendol and it now comes with the gula melaka separately. Guess the change is for the health conscious. The cendol still taste good but I noticed the santan is the instant type rather than the traditional which would have made it better.

The verdict: Food quality has gone down. They better do something soon.
