Rock Café

For those who are familiar with the area, you’d know that this area is so occupied by college and university students, making the place really young. Despite of the crowd that you have to beat through sometimes when you’re there, also because of the demand created by them you’d see what are being offered at Rock Café.
I would tend to think that if the place is less crowded then the demand for good food wouldn’t be as great, and the choices might not be as extensive as it is now.
Aside from the various hawker stalls that are selling greatly different kind of foods, you would also realize that they have happy hours for beers here too. So, for those who are coming here for dinner, you actually could carry on with some happy hour drinks after dinner too!
Of course, among the many stalls, some food are really yummy, and some might not be so good. Apart from advices that you can seek from your friends, you could also sometimes judge by seeing how busy the hawker is. It might not be true at all times, but usually they tend to be busier if they are the good ones.
I personally like the Indonesian ayam bakar rice set very much and I like the spicy one. But, do note that it’s fuming hot, so for those who can’t really take spicy food, I honestly say that you should opt for the non-​spicy set.

A 2-​storey café that is sort of surrounded by car repair shops with numerous stalls that you will definitely not bored of this café regardless on how frequent you visit. As this café is filled with stalls that possess their own specialty in food types. What i mentioned was all at lower level. As for the upper level, it is a pooling area or some other games. I went there for a few times and I find it suffocating as they allowed people to smoke there.
I personally likes to visit this café mainly because of various food options besides the fact that they provide efficient and friendly services. As it is also quite convenient for most of the students since it located near university and college.
Besides, they have quite an amount of tables and sits to serve customers especially students. It consists of indoors and outdoors where they play musics at outdoors. Sadly they don’t have air-​conditioned in indoors. I have to say that in terms of hygiene and cleanliness of that café are quite low. That explains much of why some of the stalls there actually sell not-​so-​clean food that caused some students to get food poisoned. Cheap food comes with risk like this. Eat with your own risk. Hence, need to be careful as nowadays most restaurants are not clean too, no offence that this happens in shopping centre’s restaurants and cafes.

«Where to go eat?»
«Rock lor»
«Okay, leggo»
I bet countless Sunway University and Monash University students have this conversation everyday, at least a conversation closely similar to this.
Conveniently located (3 minutes walk from Sunway University and 15 minutes walk from Monash University), it is where we students commonly go to for lunch or dinner and sometimes breakfast.
Pan mee, got.
Ayam Penyet, ada!
Mee goreng mamak, (y)
Kebab, chicken, beef or lamb?
And the list goes on and on…
Here, patrons have the power to choose from a wide range of variety which also includes non-​halal food (Bah Kut Teh).
If you’re not in the mood to eat, do sit down (they have both indoor and outdoor seats) for a glass of drink it or a bucket of beer. Not enough, you can go ahead and get yourself a bong of shisha too.
Parking can be difficult though. With so many car service shops around, most of the parking lots have been converted into driveways. There are more parking at night because that’s when those shops are closed.

Rock Café is a another food court that I love going to mainly for lunch. I used to be a frequent customer when I was studying in Sunway College as it was the usual hang out spot after class. Nowadays, I go there once or twice a month whenever I am in Sunway. I prefer having lunch compared to dinner at Rock Café because of the variety they have. In my opinion, during lunch time more shops are open and more choices are available. I also do like going there at night for the environment. Rock Café is surrounded my greenery and its very cooling at night. A nice place to chill and have a simple meal and drinks with friends while listening to some good music in the background.
The pricing is also very reasonable as its the same as most food courts. If you’re there during lunch hour, its always packed with working adults and college students so make sure you try to go early to get a seat. Also, you should try the food at the vegetarian mixed rice stall. Although I’m not a vegetarian, I used to buy food from that particular stall all the time because it tasted so good and it was very economical. The service is very efficient as well and you need not wait long for your food and drinks.
When you’re looking for an economical place to eat around Sunway, you should definitely try the food at Rock Café. A wide variety that will never bore you and always have you coming back for more.

Reliable and strategic to students, Rock Café is the place for late nights at Sunway or Monash. It’s a haven of hawker stalls, cheap ones at that. If you’re on a budget and still desire a proper stuffed meal, you can get few good ones here. Just walk around and i guarantee you’ll see a cuisine you’d enjoy.
What i particularly enjoy about this place is the open air seating area. It’s refreshing to be outside for once. It’s the cleanest of café’s but good enough to have a casual meal with your friends. And should you wish to nerd out on some pc games, the internet café upstairs is popular to students around the area.
The area however, isn’t the best in terms of parking. You’d definitely need to drive around a bit to get a spot on during dinner and lunch time. But it’s not always bad, you might have to just walk a bit. Overall, come here for a casual chat with friends, cheap food and beer. They have screens as well, which is always great during game nights.

I first came here when me and the hubby had to pick up a friend who was a Monash student. It was cheap, convenient and we were spoilt for choices. Several years later and I still very much like this food court. There is a dedicated vegetarian mix rice stall that serves very good hash browns and my herbivore of a husband is always happy to have a vegetarian option.
Personally I tend to patronize either the western food or Korean food stalls. The portions from the western place is big so it helps to have someone help you finish if you’re a small eater. They have outdoor seating at the back which is great if you’re visiting in a big group. I also like the Bak Kut Teh here, very generous with the lean meat and pieces of dough fritters you can soak in the soup.

A hawker center frequented many by students and staffs along the Sunway Area, Rock café provides some reprieve for the limited choices of food within walking distance of Sunway and Monash University. Parking is scarce, and you’ll usually end up double parking unless you’re willing to circle Rock Café like a vulcher. My suggestion if you’re not too far away and intend to pay a visit. WALK. The exercise will do you good. The mixed rice stall stands as one of the more popular choices among patrons of ‘Rock’ however post lunch may leave minimal leftovers. The «nasi lemak panas» is also pretty good and economical for those of you on a budget. Good variety and convenient for students.
