I have been blogging about delicious food in Setapak that deserves more attention, here's Part 1 and Part 2 if you are keen to know more!
4. AIShiteru 爱芋冰
This is a must-go dessert shop if you visit Setapak! A bowl of refreshing Taiwanese dessert at only RM7! Apart from Yixi's Rice Yogurt, their dessert got the highest exposure at my Instagram story due to its affordable price.
The shop was newly opened last year when I was practicing my internship. I came across this shop through my friend's WeChat moments and I thought Snowflake has opened a new branch in Setapak. The location is difficult to find because the shop is just a small lot beside the market and their shop sign is not obvious. Until now my classmates still refer it as "dessert shop at Prima pasar".
AIShiteru Grass Jelly (From the left) looks and tastes very similar to Snowflake's Bestseller. It comes with grass jelly ice, taro balls, sweet potato balls, grass jelly and milk. I personally feel their grass jelly is slightly bitter, warmer and smoother. My classmates reckon that it is more difficult to control the grass jelly than the basketball. Their milk tastes slightly less sweet, while their taro balls are fresher. The serving portion could be smaller than Snowflake's due to price difference but the portion is suitable to serve for two adults.
Despite the similarities, they have different options available from the other famous franchise dessert shops, such as AIShiteru Wintermelon and AIShiteru Passion Fruit. AIShiteru Wintermelon is always my top choice because the sweetness of wintermelon ice is moderate, natural and refreshing! It comes with taro balls, tapioca pearls, sweet potato balls and grass jelly. I love their aloe vera the most! Having one bowl of AIShiteru Wintermelon always cheer me up after an exhausting day.
On the other hand, AIShiteru Passion Fruit would give you a sweet sensation alongside with a light sourish blend. My boyfriend finds it too sour but most of my female friends like it. Seems like it suits ladies more? Alongside with tangy passion fruit ice, it serves with taro balls, sweet potato balls, mango pudding, aloe vera and tapioca pearls. Having the mango pudding together with passion fruit ice would maximize the sourish taste if you have a sour tooth.

5. Wei Ji Claypot Chicken Rice 韋吉瓦煲雞飯
The most reasonably priced with hearty serving food in Setapak! The first time my friends and I visited this place, we were overwhelmed by the whole lot of rice because we were not big eaters. Their large claypot dish comes with an abundant amount of flavorful rice, lots of meaty chicken and a generous portion of Chinese sausage! We were expecting it to cost us around RM25, but turned out it is only RM15! In disbelief, I even double confirmed with the boss to ensure that he didn't calculate it wrongly.

The shop is very small and could only accommodate two tables.
No fancy interiors but good food is enough!

The chicken pieces are big!
There is a decent mixture of boneless and boned chickens.
Can you believe this portion is one serving of vegetables?
Everything served in this shop is in large portion and tasty, which is probably the reason why the shop is always full house. I had visited the shop at 7pm and 8pm, ended up waiting one hour for my food because there are too many customers! Making a reservation through phone call is highly recommended to avoid crazily long waiting hours. Finding car park would be another pain and everyone just park by the roadside. As the road is very narrow, having cars parked at both sides would make the two way road to become one way road.
Empty tables are only spotted when I visited the shop at 6pm
Previously there was an open air area beside the shop, which is now covered.
The roof protects us from rain but it is very hot!
Not to forget their soup-of-the-day, which is another must-try in this restaurant! We called it "lou fo tong" （老火汤）in Cantonese. It refers to boiled soup, cooked with simmering meat and other ingredients over a low heat for numerous hours. It is known as a Chinese traditional method to keep body temperature warm and provide essential nutrients to our body. Another reason I like to order their soup is to have something to eat during the long waiting hours.
