I always find these criteria a must whenever I need to dine outside; good food & good service, comfy tables and chairs, child friendly and not too crowded.
When my sister asked me for a lunch date at Restoran Hidangan Glenmarie, I was a bit sceptical. The name itself popped up as a hustle & bustle of an industrial area. I texted her asking, "do you really have a good restaurant there? Or shall we have lunch somewhere else?". She insisted that she will bring me to a good restaurant...

The restaurant - quite cosy although flocked by hungry customers
|
It was lunchtime as we arrived around 1.30pm and as usually scenario in restaurants, people flocked the place to eat. Tables was occupied and waitresses swing here and there with food trays and drinks to be delivered to customer's table. It was not hard to for us to spot a nice table and soon found ourselves being served. Service was fast and immediate amidst the busy lunchtime. We find no waiting. Order and walla, the food was served hot on the table. I decided to try a simple menu, kuey teow kungfu which I thought can be the most simple dish to test the chef.
My sister ordered Nasi Kari Ayam ...this dish were served hot, white rice were fluffy and the chicken curry is just the right balance between hot and milky of the coconut cream.
 |
Nasi Kari Ayam (hot plain rice, 1pc chicken curry, 1pc fried egg couple with tomato & cucumber slice) @ RM5.00
|
My verdict for kuey teow is, they produced it light and most importantly, served hot. Packed with seafood and vegetable, the only thing missed out is I really would like my keuy teow to be a little more crispy because 'Kung Fu' style should have the kuey teow pre-fried.
 |
Kuey Teow Kungfu - lots of seafood prawns & squids, lots of flower mustard, carrots slice and cabbage @ RM5.00
We also tried their nasi campur.
 |
Plain rice with Chicken Rendang and sayur bayam tumis (sauteed spinach) @ RM 4.80
and another menu, which is an all-time easy to prepare, ...Nasi Goreng Cina style
 |
Nasi Goreng Cina style, we add on fried egg @ RM5.80
We enjoyed our food and we enjoyed our time there. I had a nice time chit chatting with my sister and the environment is quite comfortable. They put on ceiling fans enough to keep the customers away from the tormenting heat outside and they put on bamboo blind by the side entry of the restaurant that shield customers from direct sunlight. The bamboo helps in giving moisture and cool air inside the restaurant.
 |
Line for local side dishes if you opt for 'nasi campur', they have about 10 types of side dishes ranging from fish curry, chicken rendang, soy sauce beef, soups, sauteed vegetables and 'ulam-ulaman'

counter for other specialties of this restaurant
|
This restaurant open for breakfast until supper time. They also have all sorts of local breakfast choices like 'roti jala & kuah kari', 'pulut kuning', 'tapai', kuih muih & many types of sweets like 'bubur jagung'. My sister told me that their roti jala and pulut kuning are best-seller. They also have pau (steam buns), roti bakar and many more. For me, the prices are competitive and still affordable by many. Location wise - in the mid of factory buildings medium density area. It's quite congested during afternoon if you are coming from Lebuhraya Persekutuan or nearby Shah Alam town. Best to be here early because parking are quite scarce nearby but you can park a bit far and walk to the restaurant.
 |
clean glass for our drinks, nice 'sirap bandung' @ RM1.60, hot tea 'O' @ RM1.20
 |
Iced lychee @ RM2.50 , same goes to other fruit juices.Comfortable and spacious table for patrons. Comfy chairs too. Clean cutleries.
My sister recommended Nasi Kari Ayam
have a try should you be in the area, it would not be like experiencing dining in at a hotel or luxury restaurant but worth a try! ;)
