Mobile Police @ Desa Setapak

The mobile police station has moved to the corner of the roundabout, adjacent to SSL pan mee shop. It used to be near the roundabout, opposite the TOTO shop. This is a better arrangement - and frees up more parking space for others to park. 

Perhaps, the police can also do something about people who dont know how to park and double park. Find them, and fine them please!

Pontian Wanton Restaurant

There's a new kid on the block but we have yet to try it. Outdoing all other businesses, this one decided to go at it loud and clear and here you can see all the glamour in the banner. If you have tried it, then perhaps you might want to pen us a line or two below.

Where is DeliFrance?

Shoe City now occupies the spot where DeliFrance used to be.

The first DeliFrance outlet in Wangsa Maju started at the Alpha Angle many years ago. It had enjoyed good business allowing diners to have a snack and rest their feet when shopping at the complex. The outlet sits on the second floor, overlooking the concourse below where sales are held or when festive promos are the order of the day. Imagine our surprise when we visited it recently to grab a croissant - instead we were greeted by a new outlet in its place - Shoe City. Talk about having shoe in your mouth! Anybody knew where DeliFrance went?

Octopus Sushi

Octopus Sushi

Okay, has anyone tried this sushi outlet at Wangsa Walk yet? We were there last week and noticed it. It wasn't pack, so we were wary. Usually good food outlets are packed to the brim. But this is not a new player - if we are not mistaken, it first opened at the Ampang Point many years ago and the menu is quite extensive. So, should we try it or not?

Rawang Fish - Rampai Business Park

The rice package

A new fish dish outlet has just opened at the Rampai Business Park. It's called Rawang Fish. It occupies one of the many shops on the same row at the Canton Kitchen Chinese Restaurant. We decided to check out the place and found the prices quite okay. The fish fish for which it is famous is not much out of the ordinary except that the fish does not have that heavy 'earth smell'. Prices are okay. You can have a satisfying lunch for RM25 plus for two persons, inclusive of drinks.

Chinese Lettuce - RM8



Tilapia Steamed - RM18



MYMydin Now Open

The spices corner is well stocked and possibly better than that of Carrefour, even.

There is one more outlet for shopping convenience for those staying in Danau Kota, Setapak Garden and Taman Ibu Kota. MyMydin has opened an outlet near the Platinum block of condos and from the look of the crowd, it is quite popular.

Although range of goods is somewhat limited, this outlet has a good stock of spices. The greens are also quite cheap. The only problem is the lack of parking and one dreads to think of what will happen should there be a sale.

Rest of the stuff are so-so only

One more option for shoppers in Danau Kota area

Drained Out

This is a new drain cover put across some road shoulders in Wangsa Melawati area. They are made of worthless material - some kind of plastic. Why they are in place is because some idiots are stealing the metallic ones and selling them to junkyards. And the authorities have no brains to go catch them. Hence these - as additional expenditure - are used now. However, whether they are strong enough or not to sustain a person's weaight or will it deteriorate, only time will tell. Meanwhile, let's hope the thieves will not get to them I heard there's demand for fibre plastic...

Old Volks Making Its Round

This is a modified Volkswagen van spotted along Taman Seri Rampai area. From the plate no, it would have been an antique, no less. There are plenty of old vehicles plying the Wangsa Maju area. Some have been kept in good condition.

Site Updates

As you can see, we have grown over the years and we are improving the site to be an information centre for the area of Wangsa Maju. The site has been upgraded using a three-column format to provide even more information in various areas. We have also included an Important Numbers section to list down all the numbers you can call in case of emergencies.

Feel free to suggest to us how we can cater to your needs. We are all ears. And thank you for being patient with us.

Sigh... Politics!

Choo Keong slams PAS Youth for quit demand

PETALING JAYA: Wangsa Maju MP Wee Choo Keong hit back at the PAS Youth from his constituency, saying the movement should not practise double standards by calling for his resignation as other PAS leaders have continued to serve as MPs under similar situations.
“In 1975, PAS joined Barisan and fought the 1975 general elections under the Barisan tickets. Many PAS MPs, including Tok Guru Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat were elected....

So, now the MP slams Pas Youth which slammed him for quitting the party he represented and for which he was probably elected by Wangsa Maju pollers in the last election. So who gets slammed next? Enough of slamming-lah. Get down to work.

There are lots to be done in Wangsa Maju. Independent or Partisan, you have your duties to the people here. Look at Jalan Genting Kelang's road upgrading. Pebbles strewn everywhere from the construction work. Can do something about it or not ah? Dangerous you know, for the bikers during rainy spells.

And of course, the unevenness that the roads have now become, as well as potholes that are beginning to form. Where? Take a drive around please!
These are the issues at ground level that needs to be resolved. Enough slamming and get cracking.

Fake Notes Alert

Forgers are at it again if news from the Star Metro is anything to go by. According to this news piece, traders in Desk Setapak have been hoodwinked into parting with their goods in exchanged with pieces of paper masquerading as RM notes.

Traders paid fake RM50 notes

IN the past two weeks, three hawker stalls and one newspaper vendor were cheated by customers who paid using forged notes at their shops in Desa Setapak, Kuala Lumpur.

The victims were paid the RM50 notes during peak business hours and they did not have the time to check.

The notes are made using half a RM50 note and the other half printed and pasted on paper.

Arabic Cuisine in Wangsa Maju

Al-Jazeera is nthe name of a famous news service. If you see this Al-Jazeera, don't be mistaken. This one is an Arabic restaurant. There is no crowd in the evenings, so if you are thinking of trying out Arabic cuisine, check it out. The restaurant is located at the back of the Wangsa Walk complex.

Thai Fair @ Carrefour

Love Thai food? Check out Carrefour. It is having a Thai Fair located at the vegetable section of the hypermarket. Among thigs are the usual Thai sweet and sour delicacies.

Pot-Hole At Air Panas Junction

If you are passing by the Air Panas market's traffic lights junction, keep a look out for this pot hole. It is located right in the middle of the road and someone has planted a piece of stick on it to alert others. If you are driving or riding a bike, look out so that you do not crash into it. The hole is about two feet across and can give you a nasty fall.

Meet Lek Chai's Barbecued Duck Rice

A stone's throw away from the Air Panas Wet Market is Lek Chai's Duck Rice outlet. This is among the most permanent so far and for those who like duck rice, you can find it just at the side of the traffic lights near the market. Opens from noon, I think. No seating, I was told. Just takeaways. If you have tried it, how about sharing some experience with readers?

Fencers, On Guard!

If you are into fencing, the art of fencing, that is, check out the Ampang Fencing Centre located at KLSC III. It is down stream from the Shabistan Restaurant as you come in from the main road opposite Pizza Hut/Kentucky Fried Chicken and Carrefour.

More Such Signs Should Be Set Up

Whoever set up this banner to advise visitors to KLSC in Wangsa Maju, he is really smart. I think we should have reminders such as this one all around Wangsa Maju, especially the car parks. They are useful to keep alert. AFter all, how many times have we left our handphones or PDAs on the dashboard without noticing it until we are quite far away?

Watering Hole With Army Theme

Army concept cafe - tried this one before?
Armchair army enthusiasts and servicemen, ex-servicemen too, take note. If you loved the rough life of the Armed Forces, you might want to check out an outlet named CT1Forze Cafe. We spotted the place while roaming behind the new row of shops in KLSC III.

We understand that it was operated by a retired major and the concept is probably the only one in Malaysia. The waiters told us that it was dedicated to members of the armed forces.

Check it out if you want to experience some army hospitality and good food.


Satisfied customers leave their autographs on the plaque outside the eatery.



An army vehicle parked outside the cafe adds to the army feel.

KLSC III Rakan Cop Beat Base - Copped Out

Sad, this one looks just like it was abandoned. We are taking about the KLSC III Pondok Rakan Cop. It was all hoarded up and no one seemed to know why the structure was there. The developer has fulfilled his promise but why no takers?

Graffiti@Wangsa Maju

If you pass by KLSCIII, into Wangsa Walk from Section 6, take a look left at a wall down the slopes. You will see this beautiful piece of street art. It changes weekly or so at the whim and fancy of the artists who have claimed this as their domain. It is a good thing to see such creativity but hope it does not extend to vandalism.
