Stall 1 which features the Vietnamese Cuisine –Ythu Wendy Vietnam Cuisine is where the establishement from Singapore had joined Taste Enclaves which made themselves here.

The simply well made delight is perfect with the dipping of the chili sauce in it.

The Mix BBQ Pork and Roasted (RM 11.90) from Tong’s Roast is one of favorites in Taste Enclave. The 30 years old roast meat wholesaler in Pudu Market had their first stall now in Taste Enclave. Well, what I love about the roasted duck here where they served a succulent meat with the moist fats in it. The skin remains crispy as it is too. Awesome!
Simple dish can cheer up me sometimes. Wrap Time offers with their signature which is the – Crazy Cheesy Chicken Wrap (RM10.90) which is the healthy diet for us. The lovely wrapped which is filled with the scrumptious ingridients like chicken, onions, cheese and it is srved well with the soft fluffy wraps. Ooziness with the goodness of the cheese itself, the dish is simply scrumptious and addictive.
Grandeur Teppanyaki is another stall which is an ideal choice for Teppanyaki lovers. The menu is well complete with a lot of choices of dishes that includes the Alaska Cod Fish Set, Angus Beef Set, Oyster set and Assorted Seafood Set that proves fine, delicate flavours as many other restaurants. At the same time, the kitchen also goes creative by incorporating different ingredients to come up with something new yet carrying authentic elements, such as Bacon with Roe Chawanmushi and Chicken Omelette Roll for daily casual dining. We had the Chicken Omelette Roll which is juicy on its texture and the fragrant eggy flavor are just perfect and melts in our mouth with the tender chicken meat. It is topped with the bonito flakes which makes the dish even better.
Well, Taste Enclave do consider on the needs of vegetarian too and being that Hong Kee Vegetarian Restaurant are in the list of stalls.

Their Chicken Skewers (RM 3.50/stick ) is one of their signature where the juicy meat is being marinated with the skewer and smothered with the sweet and smoky sauce is just a perfect meal to balanced up the overall flavours. The skewer leaves us with such a juicy temptation and it is just finger likering good.

This round, we tried their Salted Egg Fried Chicken gives us a great flavors where the tender chicken is well coated with the salted egg and the subtle hint of the curry leaves. The coated salted egg on the chicken itself brings us with the savory blend which is just perfect and goes well beer.
If you are favour for some lovely Indian delights, the Roti Prata which is from Jalan Kayu Prata is one of the highly recommended by the food atrium owner, Mr Willie Tay. Even though we did not get the chance to try their roti prata, we tried their Singapore style assorted rojak. The Assorted Rojak is more to the Indian Style Rojak where the rojak is piled up with lots of ingridients which incude prawn fritters, fried egg, onions, chilli, and cucumber. It is then being drizzled with the savory sauce which is creamy and light sweetness in it. Not much of spiciness, but it is just savory enough to tempt us to try more.
