琦香饮食中心 Gee Siang Cafe – Formerly known as Asia Cafe

Sometimes, after finishing jogging at Air Itam Dam :sweat: , I will have my lunch at Air Itam as well, which is usually referring to Gee Siang Cafe (formerly known as Asian Cafe). It consists of about 20 stalls there such as economic rice, bak kut teh, claypot chicken, fish head beehun, apong, fried noodle, and etc. The food are slightly expensive compared to other hawker centers (most probably it is due to the fact that it is near to a tourist spot). However, I like the environment there as it is hygiene.

There are some new stalls setup recently. One of them is “Fried Rice” stall in which the fried rice actually not bad. The Tomyam fried rice served with big prawns while Pattaya fried rice is a fried rice cover with egg. The Balacan fried rice which is mixed with onion, egg, anchovies, chicken, and mango tastes good as well.

There is a Sushi stall there as well and is prepared by a pretty lady :love: (heard got boyfriend already). The sushi is slightly expensive (pretty comes to a price you know!) but is freshly made on the spot. Kind of special considering a sushi stall in hawker center.

Before I forgot, this cafe serves Dim Sum in the morning. Saturday is usually crowded with people starting 8:30am. The Dim Sum is nice. A special thing is there is no “ordering card” used. You just take your Dim Sum, eat, and call to sum up at the end. A traditional way of enjoying food :tea: .
