Teh Tarik Place came about back in 2007 by two best
friends who wanted to modernise the ‘mamak’ culture in Malaysia. As the world
goes further in bringing comfort and luxury, some people began appreciate
finer things in life but still want to enjoy the great pleasure of old, well
loved food.
The menu here is not overly abundant but with classic choices
it does well to satisfy its customers. Generally divided into five types of food; rice,
noodles, classic mamak roti canai, sides and drinks, there are still many to
choose from. From the evergreen Nasi Lemak with Rendang or Fried Chicken, the Kelantan delight Nasi Kerabu, or the ever popular Mee Rebus, Teh Tarik
Place is full of local delicacies. Add to that a selection of the best fillings of Roti Canai and you have yourself a place that is an upgrade in ambience and
feel. However, the best thing here would have to be the teh tarik. What is
known as 'the' Malaysian drink, Teh Tarik Place does theirs in style but still
keeping the originality. Or, one could always go for treats like Milo Dinosaur
or any of the fruit juices.
Upholding
the general system of kopitiams, the way things work here is part self service.
Each table is equipped with form sheets and pencils, so write down your order, come up to the cashier and pay. In a while the food will be brought out and
served to you. The main attraction in this Putrajaya branch is the location.
Teh Tarik Place did a good thing by acquiring the mall shop lot that oversees
the infamous Putrajaya Lake. With the Steel Mosque within sight, experience the
serenity of great views while sipping a cup of teh tarik.
