Kungfu Paradise Paradigm Mall Review

Went to Paradigm Mall for lunch today and ended up in Kungfu Paradise. They have several set lunches (or power lunches as they call it) during weekdays. Basically its one of the following:

• Rice sets from RM10.90++
• Noodle sets at RM9.90++
• Burger(or they call it bumger, no idea why) sets from RM9.50++

Rice sets

Noodle and bumger sets

Their menus are very 'kungfu' themed.

Rice warriors anyone?

If you don't mind ordering instant noodles, at least you know they are using Nissin brand hehe..

Nissin Noodle Power!

I had the bumger set.. why did they name it like that? It doesn't even sound appetising. Anyway, I chose to have the mashed potatoes instead of french fries. Never had kungfu mashed potatoes, who better to mash potatoes than a martial arts expert. Well the mash was chewy, it was probably over mixed. The gravy was very nice though. 

Kungfu Bumger Set

What can I say.. Its probably the best bumger I ever had.. and also the only bumger I ever had :p To be fair, lets compare it to burgers..  If I were to compare a bumger to burgers I've eaten, this would probably be on the average. I'd probably order this again if that was all they served, but it wouldn't be anywhere on the top of my list. 

So thats what a bumger looks like

The rice sets came with a lemongrass drink, soup, a choice of fried sotong balls or wantons. I took a sip of the lemongrass juice and didn't really like the taste. The lemongrass had a strong rough like taste that didn't seem to compliment well with the tea (I think there was tea in it) that it was mixed in.

Soup was a typical kosong soup, if your lucky you might get some chunks of vegetables in it.

Yummy, can't go wrong when u deep fry stuff hehe..

Fried squid balls and wantons

The sweet and sour chicken was the best item among what we all chose. I stole a bit of this and it was crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside, just what sweet and sour dishes are suppose to be.

Yang Chow Fried rice came out very yellow as if it was coated with kunyit or curry powder. Colleague said it didn't taste anything like that though and it sucks. Well sometimes food tastes as bad as it looks.

Service was quite efficient and they cleared the plates almost immediately after you finished your meal. This could be cause it was kinda empty during a weekday lunch. 

The set lunches weren't all great but Kungfu Paradise has a huge range of items on their ala-carte menu to try, so I would be back for more to try their other dishes.
