My colleague from Hong Kong asked me this question when we were dining at Pappa Rich, 'Why did they name this restaurant Pappa Rich?' I really don't know why... Perhaps the name embodies the vision of the franchise's founder? To be a rich person? Perhaps the name is an influence of Robert Kiyosaki who wrote Rich Dad, Poor Dad? If anyone knows, pls let me know too.
Despite the lingering question of the name of the restaurant, there are no questions about the food. They are good! I must say that I am converted! I used to have deep reservations about PR... We tried the one in QV and found that the Char Kuay Teow to lack wok breath, and the Hainan Chicken Rice too oily. The chicken was literally drenched in oil so much so that my lips could pass for an Orang Minyak's.
Thus, it is with distrust and disbelief every time I pass by the queue into PR Glen Waverley. Luckily I was persuaded by a colleague who wanted to try the place to have lunch there one day. Well, he was treating, so he called the shots.
We had Nasi Lemak Special, Wat Tan Hor, and Hainanese Chicken Rice. The chicken curry in the Nasi Lemak was delicious, and the Wat Tan Hor had wok breath. The chicken in the Hainanese Chicken rice was a little overcooked, but I loved the chicken flavoured rice!
Two days later, I went back for another round and had the Briyani with Ayam Masak Merah and Sambal Brinjal. It was equally delicious. With prices around 12 to 15 dollars per dish, it is reasonably priced for the quantity provided.
The other M'sian hawker style restaurants in GW, watch out!
