各種點心 Assorted Dim Sum & 拿铁 Latte @ 全家便利商店 Family Mart at 林芙蓉大厦 Wisma Lim Foo Yong KL Jalan Raja Chulan

20.07.2017 Breakfast
@ 全家便利商店 Family Mart at 林芙蓉大厦 Wisma Lim Foo Yong KL Jalan Raja Chulan (click to Google Map)
82, Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpur, 50200 Kuala Lumpur
各種點心 Assorted Dim Sum $4.90
糯米鸡 Loh Mai Kai $3.90
拿铁 Latte $6.50 Thoughts: I wanted to try the Taiwanese 關東煮 Guan Dong Zhu in perhaps the only shop in Malaysia (or I think at least in KL) that is selling it, which is at Family Mart located at the left entrance of Wisma Lim Foo Yong. But at 7:30am, the 關東煮 pots are still empty and according to the workers, it is only ready maybe after 9am. I shall come here for lunch next time to try it out.
Nevertheless, Family Mart offers a variety of breakfast choices, from Sandwiches ($4.50-$7.90s), Nasi Lemak, Japanese Onigiri ($4.20s), Bento ($7-$8+), Salad boxes ($5-$6+), Pasta, Salad, and western pastries. The coffee starts at $5.50-$9.50 (America, Latte, Cuppucino, Mocha, Hot or Ice versions).
I had the Dim Sum for Breakfast ($4.90 for 3 pieces, individual pieces are at $2/pc), I choose the Chicken Dumpling, Mushroom Dumpling, and Salted Egg Dumpling (there are 5 choices to choose from). You can also choose to have 糯米鸡 Loh Mai Kai at $3.90 or Baos ($2.50-$2.90) from BBQ Chicken, Curry Chicken, Red Bean, and Kaya Bao. It is really unlike eating at a real Chinese Dim Sum restaurant, it is an experience to have Dim Sum at a convenient store! The Latte was acceptable, I think McCafe is cheaper and better.
Family Mart is at Lim Foo Yong (Jalan Raja Chulan), PJ AmCorp Mall, Mid Valley, KLIA2, MRT Tun Dr Ismail, SS15, Jalan Sultan, Taylor Lakeside, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Changkat Bukit Bintang, NU Sentral, Sunway Velocity, Sunway Medical Centre, and Menara CitiBank. Family Mart will be offering new services in 2017 including Pay all Bills, Print Photos, Free in-store Wifi, Send/Collect Packages at the Store, etc (see their http://familymart.com.my/services.html website).
Family Mart is owned and operated by Poultry egg and meat producer QL Resources Bhd, plans to expand into the convenience store business by becoming a master franchisee of FamilyMart, the world’s second largest convenience store chain after 7-Eleven. FamilyMart Co Ltd has more than 17,000 stores in seven countries, including China, Indonesia and Thailand. QL aims to have 300 FamilyMart stores in Malaysia in five years, with the first to be opened in December, 2016.
