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.
Worried
on how to get there? There are shuttle buses from Kelana Jaya LRT Station to
