Brunch at iKar Restaurant, Kepong

Established in 2003, iKar Restaurant was set up by a husband and wife in a humble and quiet neighborhood of Jalan Ipoh. Initially, they started off with some simple local cuisines like fish balls or pork and seafood noodles, mainly to cater for the surrounding office crowd then.

Soon, they realized the potential of specializing in fish head noodles. In order to make this delicious cuisine interesting to indulge in the everyday life of the people, they created some 12 types of delightful recipe of soup flavors to appeal and satisfy the different needs and taste of all customers, both young and old, hence making them returning continuously. Because of their concept to offer various choices of soup flavors, iKar Restaurant's fish head noodles are cooked individually upon ordering, so as to provide customers with an excellent dining experience. Apart from the soup choices, customers can also opt for the type of fishes cooked using their most preferred choice.

The ingredients they put together are claimed to be the freshest and healthiest, making iKar Restaurant's fish head noodles an original, healthy and unique "Malaysian flavor", thus their tagline, "Deliciously healthy". – Copied and edited from Ikar Official Website

I was totally amazed by the fact that iKar Restaurant was once published on the newspaper, which the page was specially laminated and stuck nicely by the glass door at this particular brunch where I have been visiting repeatedly. It's my love for fish head noodles that brought me to this restaurant, and iKar Restaurant is the only place that serves the best fish head noodles I have ever eaten in my life so far.


Nonetheless, specializing in fish head noodles doesn't make their drinks significantly good. In actual fact, Don and I ordered a cup of drink merely to quench our thirst. Get it?

To be specific, it's a cup of Sugarcane Juice that tasted like some syrup.


As usual, with the number of flavors available on the menu, I was always in a hopeless tangle. I have always wanted to try some new flavors, yet I could hardly let go of my strong craving for my favorite Cheese Creamy Soup although oftentimes, my stomach would be pretty plump after meal. It's too heavenly delicious! Well, I could have gone for Curry Soup but Don disallowed, for my frequent back-to-back illness back then.

According to their website, the high content of calcium in cheese helps to strengthen bones and teeth, and prevent osteoporosis. It is also rich in Vitamin B, which is good for maintaining healthy and supple skin. High fat and proteins in cheese can help to gain weight. Uh, the last sentence is not needed. :|


Don had their Sweet Corn Creamy Soup, which was one of their new flavors introduced quite a while ago, other than Yam with Beet Root Soup, Tomato Soup, and Spicy Hot and Sour Soup. My first experience with Sweet Corn Creamy Soup was not really pleasant. It was almost tasteless. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the chef, or they have improved, Don's was really yummy with strong corn fragrance.

Other than the wide variety of soup flavors offered, another best thing about iKar Restaurant is that you can pick some of the main ingredients from the lists given. Don and I opted for thick noodles, and we would never love to get our dories fried for its original juiciness. Undeniably, iKar Restaurant serves all of my favorite in a huge bowl whenever I crave them all!

  2. 敬爱的佛教伩徒,
    有关马來西亜,吉隆坡,甲洞帝沙再也 (暹寺) 三宝寺 Samnak Sambodhi Buddhist Association No.19-21 Jalan 38 Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong 52100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 所发生的纠纷, 经过阅读了,Venerable Phra Piya Thammo 和尚及叶金福律师 (Yip Kum Fook) 的双方书信之后, 再经实地旁听了觧,做为中间人,我要客观实事的说:

    1.当一个和尚、初出道 (小学生),在修行, 若有缺点, 那是难免.他马华公会鹅唛區会主地席叶金福律师(Yip Kum Fook),却心眼看不顺,就电招警万到耒佛教之圣地要扣畄和尚耒耻唇出家人, 这是绝对不许可, 除非是殺人放火之大罪悪.

    2.他身为马华公会鹅唛區会主席叶金福律师 (Yip Kum Fook),却反其道而行, 在佛寺不依佛法而軽视佛教的精神, 以傲慢的手段,帶领一般黑社会的人耒挑衅和尚打架, 这也是不该有、更不是佛教修行者的行为.

    3.佛教的圣地, 其主要的目地, 是让眾生修佛道, 不是政治争執的地方. 他马华公会鹅唛区会主席叶金福律师 (Yip Kum Fook), 却利用佛教之圣地当政治活动的场所。如此果敢冒犯佛陀的教誨,更是大大的罪悪。

    囯有囯章,彿有佛法,家有家规. 如果出家人有何不对之处, 他叶金福律师 (Yip Kum Fook), 为何不向主持和尚投?让出家人自依和尚的條规处理、却强权一味要显示他是马华公会鹅唛区会及三宝寺理事会主席, 无法无天的应用霸道手段践踏佛教之圣地.为什么。。。。。为什么.

    至今, 他叶金福律师 (Yip Kum Fook),不当不歉愧,还要狡辩, 这又证明了他说一套, 做的又是另一套, 囗是心非, 所谓的两舌, 相当阴险. 身为律师, 受高深教育, 却应用如此悪毒, 横蛮无礼的作风污辱和尚, 相等于是耻辱佛教伩仰者。他叶金福律师(Yip Kum Fook)不向主持和尚投诉, 却自承英雄,电招外耒者.请问,身为將近20年的三宝寺主持和尚兼顾问,也是第一位 自筹建寺的大功臣,在大马南傳泒中,是闻名遐邇的高僧.其脸要放在那裡?同样的,要是台湾星雲大师的佛寺沙彌犯錯, 理事会没有礼貌自作主张,电招警方要扣畄其沙彌.我敢请问!星雲大师的自尊是怎样的感受?他叶金福律师(Yip Kum Fook)是后耒者,担任理会主席也不久, 竟敢应用如此,目无尊長的方式对待住持,间接的就是告大家,强迫住持和尚必远離,雀巢鸠要佔。这种用心不良, 有老千之谋, 的确令人不敢恭维。

    縱观以上几项重点,我不是盲目的護持三宝, 而是要坦白的说;他叶金福律师 (Yip Kum Fook) 身受高深教育, 为律师者,本应通情达理才是,但遗憾的是, 却令人惊觉, 他厡耒就是彿书裡所讲的狡猾且残忍的此颣人。他叶金福律师 (Yip Kum Fook),利用他的专业知識, 懂得包裝自己的道德守則,以宗教为幌子手,到处募款,商业经营, 政治活动为重, 并没依循佛教宗教守则行事, 也没对人道作出任何貢献, 只不过借宗教之名捞取权和私利而己。

    在此, 我奉劝, 他马华公会鹅唛区会主席叶金福律师 (Yip Kum Fook), 好自为之, 免因果報应.

  3. We would like to announce to all Malaysian Buddhists, that if anyone is political, please do not allow them to join any Buddhist Temple committee or Buddhist association because they hope and expect something from Buddhists, like the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE(吉隆坡甲洞帝沙再也三宝), there now is very problematic because the president is an MCA politician “DATUK YIP KUM FOOK (叶金福 Datuk Yip Kim Hock)”

    For example, like DATUK YIP KUM FOOK 叶金福 and he is cheating everywhere, also playboy to people wives everywhere, he doesn't have any Buddhist rules, then after go to get a position as Buddhist temple president, this is very ugly and shameful.... used police and gangsters to remove the Buddhist monks out from Temple

    This SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE(吉隆坡甲洞帝沙再也三宝) is founded by Buddhist Sangha Kelantan at Taman Ehsan and then moved to Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong...You! (YIP KUM FOOK) just become a president of Temple but you reject all old committees, your mind is very dirty.... now Buddhist devotees wake up to understanding what happened at Temple

    We and the devotees know very well about SAMNAK SAMBODHI because we are close to the Buddhist monks in Kelantan, we were in the committee for a long time because the last time Temple was nothings, we had to support the Sangha to build the Temple, but you (Yip) defrauded the Sangha of RM20,000.00, this is a dirty mind and stupid thought

    Political ideas and Buddhist teachings, please do not mix because Buddhism is a way of human life in this world and the afterlife, DATUK YIP KUM FOOK叶金福 needs to understand more on this, because of he / you higher education (law graduate), we are ordinary people, cannot be compared to you
