The verdict

Boleh

A mixed Ramadan bazaar crawl: the viral roti john and mutabak disappoint, but the mac and cheese and RM1 appam balik are worth a look. Overall an average haul with a few overhyped stalls.

Highlights

  • Price: RM1 appam balik, RM15 roti john, RM30 lamb ribs
  • Taste: Mac and cheese cheesy and creamy; roti john dry with no beef
  • Ambiance: Long queues, hot afternoons, rain on day two
  • Other: Mac and cheese sells out early, came back next day

Aiman asked me to review Bazaar Ramadan TTDR, sesat naman pos, and my first is Aziz Appang Balik. We got the crispy kacang jagung, and I was so surprised that it was just one ringgit. They also got otak-otak, awih suka terpaksa beli. Saw a long queue for this roti john, so I had to buy it. Wow naman pos, the way he's torching the cheese, nampak sedap, and it looks like a very long piece, 15 ringgit bye-bye. A must try, I'm told, is mutabak. Got Q okay, as long as the food is good. And it does look good, in fact, a lot of things here look appetizing. Tapi tekat suke ke? Went to the famous mac and cheese, but the cheese block looks empty. Sadly, it's sold out already. Roti john cheese tare dah get, it's wrong. Don't have any cheese pool, and I cannot even taste where the beef is. It's a bit dry. Or something that's called roti john cheese tare, there's no cheese tare. I don't feel the beef, it's eating bread with a lot of sauce. 4 out of 10, 1 ringgit Appang Balik, what can go wrong? Are you eating air? Exactly, but hard to complain right, this is 1 ringgit. Oh, I burned my mouth! I understand that it's very airy, so I like the part with console. I can see why this is 1 ringgit, like 3 out of 10. I think it only get 3 points because of the price. Otak, 6 for 10 ringgit. The otak paste is so thin that I have to scrape it off the down pisang. Now I need to get a second opinion from the girlfriend. Portion is like crap, taste is not fresh at all, 2 out of 10. This 4 ringgit ice chocolate is actually not bad. Texture is malty, chocolate is there, 4 ringgit not bad compared to all the other prices. 6.5. This mutabak was expecting so much more. It adds nothing but red colour. 5 out of 10. Did you think I was going to end the video without trying the mac and cheese? Here again, we're going to find a cheese man. And I just said cheese man, I'm so tired. Anyway, I came back the next day and there it is. The mac and cheese! Wow, nampak hai! Long queue and it was almost 5pm. It's so hot! It took 10 to 15 minutes to reach the front of the queue. Looks like it was almost about to rain. I quickly ordered mac and cheese and lamb ribs. Went somewhere nearby to try it while it was still hot. The mac and cheese actually not bad. It was cheesy and creamy and the macaroni was bouncy, firm and chewy. My face be like, not bad, not bad. Muka tatipu, pricey overhyped but still good. 7. Lamb ribs was half good, half bad. The good, bad sauce melt in your mouth. Sauce tasty, meat tender. The bad, 50% bone, 40% fat, 10% meat. And it's 30 ringgit. Giving it a 6. It's raining! You're raining!
