BIG = Ben’s Independent Grocer IPC


IPC used to be name Ikano Power Centre. I .. I … I.. they are actually under the same family as Ikea. They got their place renovated. Today we won’t be able to talk about the whole IPC but just BIG = Ben’s Independent Grocer. Located on LG1.19

What’s in there? Check out their map. Groceries goes on with cheese, dairy, seafood, butchery all the meats, condiments range from spices to herbs, vegetables, booze, ice cream, bakery, etc. etc. et cetera, et cetera, et cetera! Their goods not just local but imported yummies!




Check out their old weighing machine for display only.




Let us start with something simple. Salmon belly in a box. Ready to eat as appetizer and comes with your tiny pack of soy sauce and wasabi.




Cooked and ready to eat! Let go over to the “order here”.



Beef Lasagna (RM20.00). Hot sizzling from the oven sides with some garden salad. Oh its really super hot from the oven and delicious! careful with the hot plate.



Grocer’s Kitchen promotion only valid in October 2017 with 10% off for the handtossed pizzas. Thin crust pizza with mushroom truffle oil, really smells good! The cheesy pepperoni pizza looks really red but it taste as delicious as it looks.





Next, the quarter roast chicken with 1 side dish (RM20.00), you can choose chicken wing or the drumstick. Side dishes, mash potato or sweet corn? The gravy is separated, which is really good idea to avoid making the whole dish looks like some messy food.



Shucked, Oyster, oyster! Another opening promotion, buy 3 free 1! But this is only for tiny Tragheanna Bay oyster from Ireland 3 pieces for RM30.00/ 1 dozen (12 pieces) for RM100.00.



For the drinks, booze or coffee? Independent Coffee is having opening promotion, buy 2 cups for 1 price. Coffee it is then! If you are still not full enough, you still can have a piece of cake from Independent Coffee.



From the bakery, we picked this pastry bread with salted egg stuffing. Taste normal, nothing to shout about. Walk further down from bakery, you could see their huge oven.



I love Pho Kuala Lumpur, Vietnamese cuisine. Unfortunately, I forgot to snap a good picture for this. A Bowl of hot chicken soup with koay teow aka flat rice noodle shredded chicken meat.
