City of Dreams @ Fraser Business Park, KL

 

So, out of the blues, a friend of mine says he wants to go to somewhere further. Mana lah tau..... he wants to go to KL City Center. But since I am Grabbing and planning to leave early (like 10 PM), its not a problem for me at all.

So, I left my place in Kepong at about 6.30PM to head out to the City Center. Took me like 1 hour to reach the place! Kesian the Grab driver need to fight the traffic - for only RM 23! Reach there at 7.30 PM and walked in. Friends are already there. As usual, late comer kena 3 shots of Whisky. No problem lah.... now already damn champion for being late. The place is kinda small for a 2 shop lot size. This is because 25% to 30% of the space is occupied with a stage that is not functioning now (still in RMCO mah). This place is purely CKT only. No Tom Yum or Popiah. Honestly, I was slightly disappointing coz I travel pretty far to get there....... was hoping to practice my Pood Thai again!

W Club, Burning Pit, Bar 29 - No more Tom Yum but got CKT

OK guys..... I know that it has been a very dry few months since the MCO is in place..... No more Tom Yum (but still got some places that have some Popiah - private parties). Since a couple of months ago, I have also noticed that many TFC have now converted to CKT already........ this is just a list of the few places that I have been. I am sure that there are still many out there!

First on the list is the old and trusted W Club! The pic above is from an old post in TFCguy.com. They now have local CKT in there and have a significantly reduced numbers of table. At least half the tables have disappeared. So, it is not as crowed as before. We estimate that there are only about 25 to 30 local CKT in the place but I have to admit that the quality of some of the CKT are quite impressive! This place is also very popular - so, if you have not made any reservation, do not expect to be able to go in! I tried twice to get in without reservation and failed!

Prince Club @ Kota Damansara

OK guys. Another local girls pub as well. This time, in Kota Damansara. First of all, there is no valet parking, just like many other local pubs. So, I went around to look for parking and finally found 1 which is about 50 m away from the pub. Feels kinda far but its OK since it is free parking! Walked over and my friends are already in the VIP area..... they are always there.......

So, I just join them and started to chat around. There are already 4 girls on the table with about 5 guys there, so, its quite lively already. But, as usual, I have problem..... I cannot speak Mandarin, so, just sat at the corner and listen to them talk. Then, a dancer join us and started asking me to play dice game. This is like the standard game everyone must play in any pub, local or Thai alike. So, we started playing and drinking. Standard game only and just started laughing and chatting.

Wins Club @ Kepong

I receive an email from one of our reader last week commenting that I don't review any local places. It is claimed also by many that I have a preference for Thai joints and should visit some local places as well. In face my TFC brothers, I do go to local joints. The only problem is that I don't speak Mandarin and this limits the amount of fun I have. And it is going to be unfair to review based on my poor Mandarin speaking skills.....

Anyway, I will take our reader's advice and write more of the local places that I have been. So, just last night, my friend and I decided to just go nearby for a simple drink. We went to a pub in Kepong - Wins Club. There is actually quite a lot of positive stuff to write about this place. For one, there is NO valet parking!!!! No need to pay people for standing around the parking area! All Thai TFC sure got tax collector for parking..... without doing any service at all! We I got there about 11 PM and just park at the side of the road..... FREE!!!
