Ayuh, Let's Makan!: Rakshee at Kota Damansara

Hi folks.

My recent posts mostly covered on western food so this time i post a more to the east kind of food. Truth be told, i never heard about Rakshee until my friend told me about it, months ago. Upon checking with search engine, it revealed that this place is quite promising. Hence, a first visit is a must.

Located at the Strand, nearby the shopping complex, patrons don't have to worry about parking as plenty of them here on a less busy street of Kota Damansara. Here in Rakshee, like the previously infamous boat noodles kind of service, noodles in small bowl, they served Bakso, an indonesian version of meatballs, normally eaten with noodles with beef broth. Unlike most boat noodles, Rakshee diverse a bit by manipulating their homemade bakso into other dishes as well. Yes folks, dishes like pasta and even mini burgers. The restaurant resembles your typical modern coffeehouse.

Even during late lunch, this place quite packed.

Their menu consisted of quite handful of selection. So no worries for non noodles lover.

The menu

We were tempted to try them all but my belly can only fill a little so we had Rakshee signature Bakso Soup, Baked Pasta Marinara & Baked Beefball Marinara. The experience i had at boat noodle was a bit let down but here, Bakso Soup was nice. Thick flavored beef broth with kinda like glass noodles with homemade bakso. Same trick as boat noodle, you need to order more than 2 bowl to make yourself full. To add more spiciness, try adding the house green chili sauce. Not only it will enhance the heat but also the flavor.

Bakso Soup

Their baked Pasta Marinara was nice as well. The sauce a bit sweet though yet thick. Loads with melted cheese on top. As usual, magic happens when you add the green chili sauce.
