We’ve actually been to Suzi’s Corner before, so I’m not sure why I didn’t make notes that time. We’ve remedied that by coming a couple of times on the last month. On the junction of Jalan Ampang and the 2nd Middle Ring Road, it’s a small open air hawker centre.
There aren’t many stalls: yong tau fu, Malay, Indian, Satay, chicken rice, and Western/Arabic. It’s a typical canteen set up, with a mix of friendly and ambivalent staff.
We started off sharing a mushroom soup. This seemed to be of the instant variety, and was really too salty, but it was served with nice bread.
Satay chicken was served in the traditional way with cucumber, rice cubes and onion, plus a slightly runny, slightly spicy, slightly sweet peanut sauce. Wife and daughter both liked it, and subsequently tried the beef satay which they even preferred.
They thought the steak was only OK. Considering it was well done, it came very quickly (about four minutes!). The steak had chips and some boiled vegetables with it, served on a cow shaped hot plate!
Masala thosai (dosa) was my main, and it had a very nice filling with plenty of aromatic spice. On the side there was a rather plain dhal and a decent coconut chutney.
Without the steak, it would have been very well priced – three drinks and the dosa were RM12, and the soup and satay were RM5.
On another trip wife had a special burger. This was done in the style of the local franchise Ramli burger – the burger patty is wrapped in an omelette, then drenched in mayonnaise and chilli sauce. A taste of childhood, perhaps.
The roti canai guy was unwell, so daughter and I shared a double cheese naan and a Kashmiri naan. The former oozed with cheese, but was a little dry at the edges; the latter was covered in raisins and thus a rich sweetness, plus had a bit of salt, perhaps from margarine. Both came with the same dhal as before, which daughter was keener on than me – she drank a bowl of it.
Suzi’s isn’t the sort of place you go out of your way for, but it’s a fair place to stop for a while on your journey. You can even get your car washed next door while you eat, which I suppose might mean we pop back more often.
