I did a google search on Little Ben in Kota Kemuning and I found an article in Clovetwo that quoted “Our food contains no MSG, preservatives or colouring. They are also prepared using fresh, natural and herbal ingredients, in keeping with the philosophy of Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS), which Beauty Square advocates,”.

I didn’t really know what do they mean when they say this cafe serve healthy food when I visited it this morning until read the above article. Anyway… I was dragged out of bed by KC this morning which then Heng Kiat the regular lead us there.

Little Ben is located in the factory area in Kota Kemuning which is a factory converted into a health and beauty centre by Herbaline. There’s a beauty center, yoga center and the cafe. The whole place looks very nice and comfortable with its natural design with a lot of plants.

Little Ben is nicely decorated giving me a fusion dining experience with free wifi and pork plus lard free… maybe that is why me and Miharu feels that the food is ok not bad but super delicious… heheh… missing all the unhealthy but tasty ingredents .

There’s an interesting promotion they are doing… if you are here before 11am, they have a daily breakfast set for only RM2.90 and if you are here after 11am, they have a daily lunch set at RM4.90 which is really value for money.

Some of us ordered the lunch set for today which is their Sailor Mee (Pan Mee) served with lemongrass tea… I on the other hand tried their Nasi Dagang set (comes with a lemongrass tea) at RM9.90. Little Rachel got the rainbow toast while her dad took the curry chicken rice and Heng Kiat topped up with a soya (served with peanuts inside) with yau char kwai.

Overall, environment is great, food is ok but for healthy concious folks who wants to enjoy a good massage or facial after meal… here’s a good place to visit.

The good thing about visiting Digital Mall in Section 14 besides being able to boost the economy is also being able to visit the Medan Selera located behind it in the Section 14 Wet Market.

There are 2 levels to the food court and I usually visit the lower one. The Siam Laksa here is very good and unique but what caught my eye on my last visit is their Fried Pan Mee. There are quite a few places selling this and one of them is a shop specialized in various cooking style with Pan Mee in Kota Kemuning.

Anyway, the Fried Pan Mee is done as hokkien mee style… so its technically a Hokkien Fried Pan Mee at RM4.00. The pan mee is very thin and doesn’t look like pan mee at all at first glance. Its the usual hokkien mee fare with prawns and cabbage and a nice big spoon of sambal chili to go with it.

To cool things off… the drinks stall here offer a vast varities from coconut juice, sugar cane, juices and dessert as well. I had a bowl of leng chee kang at RM1.80.

The food choice here is good and reasonably priced for PJ standard .

This place in SS19, Subang Jaya (same row as Hong Leong Bank) have been around for a very long time, I used to go there after school for lunch with friends during secondary school . Anyhow, the stall here serve excellent pan mee for those who likes soft pan mee.

Look for the pan mee stall, you have to go there, take a number and sit down. Later, when its your turn to order, they will come and get your orders. On weekends, the queue can get pretty long. We were lucky that day, waited less than 10 minutes to be served and our food came another 5 minutes later.

The pan mee here are teared by hand and they make it thick and soft, I mean really soft, probably best to eat with a spoon. I had the dried one, its quite different and yummy with lots of toppings plus again, good pan mee can’t go without good chili sauce .

RM4.00 for a big bowl and RM3.50 for a small one. The other thing unique is that the coffeeshop also sells sugar cane and coconut juice .
