Thoughts: Second visit to USJ10's "約一週 Time-Off Café", and for dinner today is a rm$19.90 "韓式辣醬豬肉片韓式拌飯 Bibimbap with Spicy Bulgogi Pork". The bowl comes with 白米 white rice topped with 泡菜 Kimchi, 蘿蔔絲 Shredded radish, 玉米 Corn, 烤豬肉 Pork Bulgogi, and 生菜 Lettuce with 韓式辣醬(苦椒醬) Korean spicy sauce "Gochujang". The new Café that replaces "Let's Joy Café" at the same Shop Lot, offers not just some Western choices (Burger and Pasta), but also Japanese, Korean, and Oriental dishes plus a good selection of Dessert choices as well. 
비빔밥 Bibimbap (韓式拌飯) is a Korean rice dish with "Bibim" means "Mixed Rice" AND "bap" means "rice"; therefore it is mixing various vegetables and meats with rice. The mixed rice dish is one of the most representative Korean dishes. Bibimbap (混沌飯 Hondon-ban) appear in 韓國歷史書籍 Korean History Books as early as the 16the Century, an extensively customizable food with a variety of ingredients that can be used in its creation. It probably came from 早期的農村朝鮮人 early rural Koreans taking leftover vegetables, sometimes having meat, with rice and mixing them in a bowl.

Thoughts: Third visit to SS15's "食客天堂 Orange SS15 Mixed Rice" for a Chinese mixed rice lunch. Today's lunch is a rm$9 Noodles and Meat dish: 經濟老鼠粉 Economy Rat Noodles + 經濟炒黑麵 Fried Black Noodles with 五花肉 Pork Belly  and 叁巴小魷魚Sambal Baby Squid. Also available is free flow 中國茶 Chinese Tea and 雞爪湯 Chicken Feet soup. 
Early morning will be more on Economy Noodles and a few dishes, but if you come maybe around 11:30pm+; the full range of daily 50 or more dishes will be available, all fresh from the Kitchen behind the corner shop lot. BOTH SS15's 食客天堂 Orange Mixed Rice AND 菜飯館 Restoran Two (same road) are very few Chinese mixed rice restaurants that I think shows the Menu Prices as a Guide to how the Self-Service mixed noodle+rice plate will be valuated. BOTH Chinese mixed rice shops offers Clean and Bright settings for Customer Dine-in. 
With so many Café and Restaurant choices along SS15/4B, parking along this road is very challenging regardless of weekdays or weekends.

Thoughts: Today is breakfast at Lotus's (formerly Tesco Extra) in Shah Alam Seksyen 13. The rather expensive rm$6.50 basic 馬來烝飯(椰漿飯) Nasi Lemak Kukus with 印度香米 Basmati rice, half a boiled egg, typical 黃瓜片 cucumber slices, 花生 nuts, 江魚仔 ikan bilis (anchovies), and non-spicy 參巴醬 sambal. I like the 印度香米 Basmati rice and 參巴醬 sambal but the price at rm$6.50 is definitely on the high side! The Nasi Lemak stall also offers the Chef's signature 參巴牛肺 Sambal Paru, 參巴牛蝦 Sambal Udang, 香辣炸山羊肉 Kambing Goreng Berempah, and 香辣炸雞肉 Ayam Goreng Berempah.
Chef Hariz (from Johor) who runs the new stall (officially today is the first day) which operates only for breakfast on the weekends, highly recommended his signature "參巴牛肺 Sambal Paru Paru"; again it is rm$5 (slightly expensive for me) BUT I agree his Sambal Cow Lungs dish is pretty tender and tasty. 
"Beriani & Co" is at the new Thailand owned retail chain called "蓮花超市 Lotus's Supermarket" in Shah Alam's Seksyen 13. 蓮花 Lotus's acquired all of 特易購 Tesco's operations (all 62 former Tesco stores in Malaysia) in March 2020. The restaurant Beriani & Co. offers the NEW Nasi Lemak Kukus on weekends only BUT the restaurant's signature are 印度香飯 Nasi Briyani with the signature "Nasi Briani Gam Kambing", Mee Bandung, and Rojak Petis! The restaurant's "印度香飯 Nasi Briyani" do look very delicious.  
Was curious about the "Telur Pindang", and was told a recipe Egg from Johor; but why rm$3 per egg! The "cold" Telur Pindang isn't too different from the Chinese "茶葉蛋 Tea Egg" (大理石蛋 Marbled Eggs), and a typical Chinese Tea Egg is around rm$1.50 to rm$2 in Klang Valley and usually in a boiling pot that is best served as a hot dish.
茶葉蛋 Tea eggs originated in 浙江省 Zhejiang province as a way to preserve foods for a long time but is now found in all provinces. This Chinese savory food is commonly sold as a snack and sometimes is called "大理石蛋 Marble egg", commonly sold by street vendors or in night markets in many Chinese communities throughout the world. While the recipe of the Chinese Tea Egg are basically 香料 spices, 醬油 soy sauce, 八角 Star anise, 肉桂棒 Cinnamon stick, and 紅茶葉 black tea leaves; other similar recipes and variations have been developed throughout Asia! For example, the snack is common in Taiwan 7-Eleven that traditional tea eggs, fruit and other flavored eggs. While in 印度尼西亞 Indonesia and 馬來西亞 Malaysia, it is called "Telur Pindang"; and in Malaysia, the Egg dish is popular in the 柔佛州 state of Johor. As the "Johor-style Tea Egg" recipe is prepared with a variety of spices plus 5-6 types of leafs (Daun Mangis, Daun Jambu batu etc) and requires time and resource-consuming work, and therefore "Telur Pindang" would usually only be served on special occasions such as 馬來婚禮 Malay Weddings.
