[Watch] RM10 Buffet In Amcorp Mall: When Food Becomes A Bridge Of Love
Subscribe to our FREE Amidst the bustling Amcorp Mall in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, a small stall on the lower ground floor serves something truly special. Not just ordinary mixed rice, but a mission born from a mother's heart. 'This idea came from my late mama,' says the operator known as Atiqah while arranging dishes on the buffet tray. Mama wanted to see many people able to afford a proper, filling meal. Faridah Kitchenz offers a complete mixed rice buffet with dessert and drinks at an almost unbelievable price: just RM10. 'If They Don't Refill, I Get Worried' What's touching is that Atiqah admits she gets concerned when customers don't go for seconds. 'I'm happy when I see people refill their plates. If they don't refill, I worry – is the food not good?' she says with a genuine smile. For her, every time customers fill their plates for the second or third time, it's not a loss; it's a gain. Instead, it's a blessing. 'When people eat until they're full, I see that as a blessing for my business too. Sustenance comes when we're sincere about helping others,' she explains in an Home-Style Cooking in the Heart of the City Every Monday to Friday, starting from noon, Atiqah and her family prepare various 'home-style' dishes – cooking that reminds customers of the flavours from their own homes. The strategic location at Amcorp Mall provides easy access to a diverse range of individuals, including office workers and students. 'We only hope for prayers and blessings in life,' says Atiqah. We're very happy to be able to help a little with our cooking. This small stall proves that food can also save lives – not medically, but by providing access to quality meals at affordable prices. For Atiqah and her family, every customer who leaves with a full stomach is a success. Every satisfied smile is a reward. Faridah Kitchenz operates at LG Amcorp Mall, Monday-Friday starting 12 noon. RM10 buffet includes all dishes, dessert and drinks. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's . Get more stories like this to your inbox by signing up for our newsletter.

Tracy Chapman revisits debut record; gives vinyl reissue audio uplift
TERMS such as 'classic', 'groundbreaking' and 'evergreen' are often bandied about but in the case of Tracy Chapman's eponymous debut album, all those plaudits and probably more apply. It is with good reason as well. It was truly a phenomenal piece of work which the singer-songwriter struggled to live up to with later albums, conceding she had a lifetime's worth of experiences to draw from for that debut record. It sold six million (physical) copies in the US alone and 20 million worldwide, meaning she never has to work again despite lacklustre sales of her later albums. But what a debut it was. Released in 1988 on the Elektra imprint, the album sold by the truck loads as music lovers everywhere fell head over heels in love with Chapman's impassioned delivery of tunes that told of escaping poverty, domestic strife and hard times. Originally recorded in the span of eight weeks at producer David Kershenbaum's studio – Powertrax – Chapman's songs caught everyone by surprise as it began to dominate radio at a time when glam rock and synth pop ruled the airwaves. This was no Madonna- or Richard Marx-type bubble gum pop. This was serious music – sincere, authentic and exceptionally produced. Though the songs were crafted as solo pieces accompanied just by an acoustic guitar, the producer set about putting together a crack band to bring these fantastic tunes to life. Boy, did these ace musicians, which included bassist Larry Klein and percussionist Paulinho da Costa, flesh out the sound with their contributions. Given the confessional nature of the songs, an unobtrusive sound was required and the assembled musicians really did do justice to these poetic gems. Which brings us to the recently released vinyl reissue, which was a close collaboration between the singer and the original producer. And what a magnificent job they have done. Every instrument on every single track has been elevated to new heights and this is not just pushing up the 'loudness' button. Each is carefully measured and inserted to allow the song to carry its emotional weight without sounding bombastic. Highlights of this exceptional 35th anniversary edition include For My Lover and Baby Can I Hold You. The bass tone on the former is just to die for while the latter is heavenly in its smoothness. Praise alone will not do this 180g vinyl edition justice. The CD version simply pales in comparison. Released on April 4, it has taken some time to reach local music emporiums but it is finally here. Most are retailing it above RM200 but one particular shop in Amcorp Mall, Petaling Jaya – The Groove – has sealed copies going for a very reasonable RM145. Grab it while stocks last as this is pretty much as good as it gets without stepping into silly money audiophile territory.
