I was at Atria shopping centre last sunday as Bigbook Shop was having its warehouse sale at 1st floor. For those who are looking at getting some really cheap books (and other knick knacks), you may want to pop over this weekend, the sales ends on 25th this month. I do feel that we get better deals in Bigbook shop sale compared to MPH & Times.
We were there during lunch time and we didnt want to eat in any restaurants in Atria. Once we were out, we noticed Hot Stove, a rather new restaurant that took over the what-use-to-be Soo Kee spot. Though it was already 2pm when we walked in, it was still pretty crowded. Hot Stove serves chinese dishes and ala carte meals. As BQ dont take pork, we ordered marmite chicken, spicy bean paste fish head and stir fry mix veg (sei tai tin wong aka four heavenly kings)..(their taufoo & omelette dishes were with pork too).
The dishes came quite promptly, first served was the fish head(RM18)..
It was quite a large claypot, with large pieces of fish meat and fish head parts. It smells wonderful and we could not wait to dig in. The fish chunks was sweet, some parts were kinda fishy, but I'm ok with it. Though the taste of bean paste was nearly smothered by the mince ginger, this dish was quite good. BQ likes it as she loves ginger..

Marmite chicken (RM15) was served last.. 
Another large portion, it's a pity that they used quite a lot of chicken breast meat. The meat was a tad hard (due to over frying and did not tenderise the meat I presume) and I'd prefer the marmite sauce to be thicker.Their's was rather runny. Just an average dish.

Total bill was RM54 (including rice and drinks). 3 of us shared the meal, but the portion is good enough to feed 4 (or 5, for small eaters) people.
What Julianne thinks?
Average but value for money
Hot Stove Cafe is located at 21, Jalan SS22/23, Damansara Jaya. Facing Atria shopping centre, just across KFC.
