A new eatery, Bountiful, opened some two weeks ago.
This eatery is along the same row as TM Unifi and located below A Sweat Wellness.
I walked past and decided to walk in to have a look see.
You basically make your way to the food counter and take a tray. At the front are containers of soup of the day.
Then you see the various dishes on display. The bowls of food are submerged in hot water to keep the food warm.
Just point to your choice and the staff will transfer the bowl to your tray. You are really spoilt for choice here.
At the end of the counter are (golden) bowls of rice and you make your payment at the cashier.
Water is free of charge and you help yourself at the water dispenser.
So I visited a few days later for lunch.
I chose three dishes. Yes, I had rice. These type of dishes are best eaten with rice.
I loved this dish of long beans and eggplant. I'm sorry I can't remember the names of the dishes.
This dish of shredded pork had lots of chilies in it. It was very tasty but was on the salty side.
I also liked this dish of steamed egg topped with minced pork.
The portion of food in the bowls might look overly generous but the food is actually sitting in a shallow stainless steel plate housed in a porcelain bowl.
But I assure you that the portion size is adequate. I was very satiated with the three dishes and a bowl of rice.
This is what I would say is "atas" (posh) version of chap fan (mixed rice) served in beautiful bowls.
And enjoyed in a clean and pleasant environment.
With 10% discount, my lunch cost me RM18.00 which is very reasonable.
I will definitely be back.
In fact my partner and I could even have our datenites here hee..hee...
Dear friend, this is new to me...I mean the way the food is presented, but I love the cleanliness and warm ambiance this place offers! And the girl at the cash looks neat and alert! I can see there are booths with benches, this is where I like to sit when I go to a restaurant, rather than a table, I find it more spacious and comfortable. I love rice! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all your photos, and I am so glad you mostly enjoyed this except for finding one dish on the salty side.
This is my first time going to an eatery that serves dishes like that. There are a few eateries that adopt this concept. It is novel and attractive. I foresee myself revisiting!
DeleteGood morning 🌄 this one I like, the interior is so clean, bright and pretty decent. Plus the prices are reasonable. You are right to say this is the more atas version of chap fan. Hope they will do well. Have a happy day ahead!
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I am confident that this eatery will do well and I will be one of their loyal customers!
DeleteThank you for the review. This eatery has the same concept as Wang De Full Mini Bowl and Bai Wei eateries. I believe this concept originated from dl. Hehehehe, looking forward to your date night at this new bountiful eatery.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a good week ahead! 💓
Ah yes, there is a Bai Wei in Uptown as well but somehow I never visited but will do so one of these days.
DeleteIf you didn't show us the shallow plate, I would have thought that's quite a lot of food...lol. For chap fan to be served like that at RM18 is not expensive...these days a box of chap fan can easily cost RM15. That first dish is salty coz it has something that looks like long strands of choy poh to me....and that steamed eggs look like the ones I make at home...overcooked and not silky smooth...hah..hah.
ReplyDeleteLOL! We would expect their steamed egg to look a bit more professional. But what matters that it tastes good. I think the prices are reasonable considering the quality of the dishes and the nice environment.
