Food, life, and fun in my "kampung,"(village), KL (Kuala Lumpur). Did I mention "food?"


Fogal's Meat Market

By Allan Yap & Nigel A. Skelchy

In KL, the best places to get the meat you need is a wet market. I firmly believe in this.

Whenever I need pork for my roast pork, I go to the Bangsar Wet Market and find my friend the "chuee yoke loh." Heaven knows what his name is. I've asked him a couple of times. But he says "kiu ngor "chuee yoke kor" tuk ke le."

In any case, the pork I get from him for my char siu, roast pork, or what have you is usually divine. Just enough fat and marbling.

With that in mind, I was truly awed when I saw what Fogal's Meat Market in Plaza Damas had to offer. My friend, P, had recommended this place before but it wasn't till we were to help a friend, J, move his antique cabinet that we actually had the chance to dine there.

Not only does Fogal's sell meat but they also serve good, hearty, very Australian inspired food.

The meat they sell is brought in to Malaysia from Australia and raised in Kluang. On their own farm and with their own processing facilities. They feed their livestock whole grain for a few months before they slaughter and process them. This from Dave. One of the chaps I was talking to at Fogal's. Friendly fellow.

Since then, I've been itching to go back to try their meats and sausages ( which are all made in the store.)

For Brunch on Sunday though, J, Allan and I had some really good food. If you're a carnivore, this is the place for you. Even if you're not, there are offerings aplenty in a menu that is surprisingly extensive.

With wines even!

Allan's Kebabs - tender, meaty, and juicy - great seasoned fries, slightly crunchy on the outside but warm and fluffy in the middle

J's pies. Didn't try them but from where I was sitting it looked moist and filled. Not half empty.

My Lamb burger. A bargain at RM13.00. Thick, juicy, meaty patty redolent of lamb but not overpoweringly so. The Cole slaw was home made and fabulous. Not gunky and gooey but lightly coated with the mayonaisse dressing. And they substituted my chips with a green salad. So I was feeling extra virtuous.
