Klang is a part of town which I don’t get to visit that often, so when a friend of mine mentioned about a simple place there with good food, I was curious to go check it out. A little eatery in the cozy part of town, Fairies Café is located just a stone’s throw away from Jusco Bukit Tinggi. You simply can’t miss the huge faerie shop sign.
According to cafe manager and co-owner Karmen Chuah, while the whole concept behind the name comes from a love for mythical and magical creatures like fairies, there is no set theme and the outlet has various promotions throughout the year.
One particular themed event was their Halloween Party late last year where the walls were decorated with cobwebs and diners were served spooky-themed drinks. The seating arrangement is also flexible, as you even have the option to sit cushioned on the raised floor in some parts of the cafe
While cafés usually have a wide selection of food to choose from, Fairies Café does offer some hidden gems. Starting off light, we had the Thai-inspired Lemongrass Fishball Satay (RM9), which was tasty without being too heavy. It seems fusion is the entire buzz these days and their Black Pepper Fried Seafood Udon (RM10.90) is an excellent example.
With succulent prawns and squid, this new take on the popular Japanese noodle is a must-try for black pepper fans (like yours truly).
Worth a try too is the Chef Wok-Fried Spaghetti (RM11.90), which is lightly fried with chili, garlic and plenty of seafood.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Chicken & Ham (RM10.90) proved to be a real treat too, despite its simplicity.
Those wanting something less adventurous may opt for the Indonesian-Style Chicken Drumstick Rice (RM12.90), which features spicy coconut gravy and kunyit rice.
The fancy-sounding drinks are stars themselves as they are all named after fairies! The Breena (RM8.90) is a refreshing treat made with watermelon, Ribena and Sprite. Just don’t make the same mistake as this reviewer and remember to stir before you drink.
The refreshing Donella (RM9.90) is also worth trying, with its cooling mix of lychee, honey, mint and blue curacao. If these are too fancy for your tastebuds, there’s always Ice Honeydew Tea (RM5.50).
Another pleasant surprise is the addition of live relaxing music to soothe your mood during dinner. The resident performers even accept song requests from diners as well, making dining at Fairies Café a fun and interactive experience.
