When taste speaks

It takes a huge effort to serve a good plate of food for customers. And it takes a tremendous amount of energy spent on training to deliver a good cooking technique. That's what I always expect from and should be equipped on a cook.
Bucida Court is a new name for me. May not be to many but it is new to me. Recommended by a reader a few months ago, I was reluctant to try since the address was not something appealing to me. Located on Jalan Bukit Lanjan, this food court were in the same row as BMW, Honda and Porsche. Facing the Menara UAC and Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong, it offers quite a nice night view. Nice by means of concrete jungle yes and traffic flows on the highway. ;)
                  Cut the chase, I visited this place twice just to get my taste bud to review their offers. I thought of doing it all at one shot but the scare of being let down should the food is not up to my expectation motivates me to limit the order.
The first time, I went to try Uncle Ron's Cafe. They serve western food such as grilled chicken chop, steaks, mushroom soup, garlic bread and burgers. Their burgers were huge and look delicious too!

We chose a an empty table right in front of the counter. Reason being, I wanted to see their food preparation. My first impression was, Uncle Ron’s a clean counter. Everything were arranged nicely, from the cash machine, to their kitchen layout and their plates and cutleries. The female staff at the counter was busy and yet she was generous with her smile. That caught my attention and simply making me want to order everything. Everything were running smoothly, from taking orders, to lining up their end product to be delivered to tables. No hick-ups. Clean on the go. I like it.

Their menu were simple. I can easily choose without having much headache. I didn’t even ask for their special but straight up for the most simple dish, Sizzling Grilled Chicken.


    As we sat there, my sparring partner & I, a waitress came to take drink orders. We went for hot drink since it was raining. At Bucida Court, it is self-service. Except for drinks, somebody will come to your table to take order. As for food, you can browse around all the stalls there. There are about 5 stalls operating that night we were there. Tables were quite fully occupied.

My order came after about 10 minutes. That is my maximum waiting time. I was quite hungry so waiting wasn’t my priority. It was never in my ‘want list’ every time we dine out.

It was boiling hot when my Sizzling Grilled Chicken arrived on the table. I was very happy with the smell.

The female staff served me well, give me clean cutleries. See the above picture, it was nicely tucked in a black wire basket. Our drink came on time too. My verdict – the chicken were tender, grilled to perfection. It was well seasoned and I requested mushroom sauce, I expected to have lots of mushroom in the sauce but I was hampered. The vegetables accompany my chicken were crown of broccoli, cauliflower and carrot. They did justice to these vegetables. It’s either they blanched it nicely or they used a really good fresh quality vegetable. The vegetable were sweet and I like the hardness that I can hear they crunches inside my mouth when bite into.

  I also like the fact that the mashed potato served was poured with black pepper sauce. The mashed potato were a hit, well seasoned, nicely spiced with black pepper to harmonize the mushroom sauce and the size is a justice to the chicken portion.
  Overall, I like the food & the service was quick and warmth. I definitely will come again to Uncle Ron’s and personally recommend this western food jazz.

I have a little comment on our drinks. My tea were quite too sweet for me. But I think others will just go with it. Price-wise, my Sizzling Grilled Chicken were priced at RM15.00 , the price were fair for me. Just a comment that they can improve their mushroom sauce by be creative & bold to use fresh mushroom. Food is about creative anyway…Drinks were amount to RM3.50 for both. Justice though…
