Heritage Village @ Paradigm Mall

Heritage Village is a restaurant that serves penang nyonya cuisine. A glance through the menu shows quite a variety of Penang delights like char Kuey Teow, chee cheong fun, etc. 
Three layer tea - Rm4.80
This is actually an east malaysian specialty. The dark bottom layer is actually palm sugar. The overall taste of the tea was nice as one can control the level of sweetness by not stirring too much of the palm sugar. The palm sugar indeed lent a unique taste to the tea. ( 6/10)

Chee Cheong Fun- Rm5.90
Rice rolls smothered in prawn paste and chilli sauce. Penang chee cheong fun has always been my favourite and the one I had at this place was alright except for the chilli sauce which I found to be too sweet for my liking and my other complaint is that I would prefer my rice rolls to be rolled up and not like the ones I had here . Anyway, the taste is still alright despite these minor hitches. ( 6.5/10)


Char Kuey Teow- Rm12.90
The char Kuey Teow here smells good and comes in big servings too.. It tasted like Penang char Kuey Teow alright but lacking in crucial ingredients like chives ,Cockles , chinese sausages and fried lard , of course! The Kuey Teow was fried to near perfection but it could do with a bit more soya sauce. 
( 6.5/10).

Rojak Buah -Rm9.90
I have always found kl fruit rojak lacking in one key ingredient - hea ko@prawn paste. The rojak here is no exception. The sauce is slightly on the sweet side,does contain heako but not enough to bring out the real taste of Penang rojak. Maybe,the  overpowering smell of the heako puts some people off and therefore, the supposedly key ingredient is used sparingly in KL. The medley of fruits consists of mainly jicama beans@ sengkuang,cucumber, guava and mangoes. Being a penangite, I was hoping for some cuttlefish and beancurd too. But, this is KL , dear. 
Durian ABC with ice-cream- Rm10.90
There are loads of ingredients in this ABC; a dollop of ice- cream, 4 attap chees ( no kidding! They  actually served attap chee instead of nata decoco , kidney beans, creamed corn, strands of cendols, peanuts, grass jelly, raisins and durian .  The ABC was nice but not addictive.  ( 7/10)
Pie Tee- Rm9.90
Pie tee @top hats is a penang nyonya specialty. To eat this , one needs to put the filling of stir- fried jicama beans, carrots and dried prawns in the fried Pietee shells  add in some chilli garlic sauce and then pop the whole thing into the mouth. Yummy ( 7/10)
