Fat Spoon

The food was good but the service here sucks :(they forgotten our order and made us wait close to an hour.

Came in on a quiet Saturday evening so there was ample parking and seats in the restaurant itself before it started getting packed around 745pm.
On the menu there was a nice balanced selection of rice and noodle dishes, with enough unique touches to make it original yet familiar. It was slightly difficult however to communicate with the staff and it felt they were there more for order taking than anything else.
I ended up with the Moo Moo Rice bowl which was tasty and filling. Beef, basil and a fried egg to cover all your hunger needs.
Worth a visit to tuck in when you’re craving some homestyle Malaysian cooking.

Interesting menu they have here. When the waiter passed me their menu I was kinda confused till I turned the pages. :) It was really thoughtful and interesting for them to have this concept.
I love how they have this old school decorations in the mini restaurant here and it seems like we’re back to olden days to reminiscence our childhood.
Their main dish are pretty much based on nyonya food and they tasted pretty good :) There’s also some really mouth watering desserts being served and it was really tempting :)
They have round tables in the house and it’s ideal for a family or friends gathering.
The only thing I don’t like will be the parking spot availability. It’s really impossible to get parking on weekends and sometimes weekdays. So plan your days ahead if you want to drop by here :)

Nyonya food!
Fat spoon is one of the more talked about restaurants in Damansara Uptown as of late, so my friends and I decided to pay them a visit over the long weekend for dinner.
We arrived fairly early, around 6.20pm and the establishment was fairly empty, only a few tables were occupied.
The outdoor seating area was located infront of the shop. It was beautifully decorated with chairs and tables from the olden days, right there and then I knew I was gong to love their interior designing and decorations. The front door had stained glass and the handle was a spoon, hipster much?
The interior of the outlet was even more impressive. The furniture was vintage and they had pots and pans hanging from the ceiling, giving it a very homey feel.
The food was alright. I had the fried rice with the fried chicken. The portions are abit small and the fried chicken was not made to order, it was lukewarm at best. Disappointing to say the least.
The service here is mediocre at best, the waiters have no hospitality. No greeting entering/​leaving the restaurant and do not even acknowledge when you thank them for their services.
Definitely would not be back anytime soon.

Would have given it 5 stars if it isn’t always that packed and noisy. This actually just goes to show that its food is good, but I am sure they are able to manage the seating better because it gets really weird to have your meal just inches away from total strangers and having to listen to all their conversations. Anyway, the food and drinks here are REALLY awesome. My all-​time favorite here is the iced chocolate and the Ulam Angel Hair Pasta (must-​try!!!) and the desserts served here are delicious. It’s a great place to chill only if you do not need to scream to your friend to have a proper two-​way conversation.

Fatspoon — I’ve been here twice and both times only for the desserts.
The inside of this Café has a really old school feel to it. Old comic books and stripes are used as wall paper and incorporated as decorative items around the place. These were comics that I used to love to read so many years back (hand me downs from my father and aunties). So for me, everything had a very nostalgic feel in Fatspoon.
The desserts here are actually quite tasty and unique. I like one with the passion fruit and cream with it (can’t recall the name). The taste is something you wouldn’t find at your normal dessert place.
Price wise, it’s a bit on the high side, but something I wouldn’t mind spending on once in a while (aka after pay day, heh).

Armed with a quirky name and equally quirky interior (think your grandmother’s house), Fatspoon has been one of my favourite places ever since it opened its doors. If I can’t decide on what to eat, I’ll go to Fatspoon. If I’m looking for some comfort food and a place with air conditioning, Fatspoon will be my choice.
Parking is usually impossible on weekday afternoons so I limit my visits to weeknights or weekends when it’s easier. One of the reasons why Fatspoon has gained popularity is because of its affordable prices and homemade food. Service is usually good as the waiters are on alert and the food doesn’t take too long to arrive. Nyonya dishes are the highlight here so expect meals like perut ikan rice and ulam fried rice on the menu. The claypot lou shu fun and spicy beef macaroni remains my favourite till this day. Unfortunately, I don’t feel the same way about their cakes so I would suggest going straight for a classic nyonya dessert instead such as the sago pudding served with The Last Polka’s salted gula melaka ice cream.
It’s also worth mentioning that the interior evokes a nostalgia feel as the mismatched furniture and kitchen utensils hanging on the ceiling coupled with an old door at the entrance transports you to someone’s grandmother’s home.
