We Were Once Strangers, Not Anymore!

We were supposed to be here for a brunch, but there was a long queue! So, we went shopping and came back here for dinner to try our luck. Thank God, there were much lesser crowds and we found a seat! Wohoo!

We were here for a dear friend's birthday @happycrazycon! 🎉 These are my few close friends in church. :)

They have nice quotes and drawings on the wall.

Didn't know fox and bear friendship is a thing until I googled. Now I understand the inspiration behind this mural and quote.

"No strangers, only friends we haven't met.", says the bear and the fox.

Our food was served by this robot server. This machine has become popular ever since the pandemic due to the lack of manpower in the F&B business. Have you seen this from where you are too?

I had a Quarter Chicken Thigh + 2 sides. RM27 (USD 5+)

Love the tenderness of the chicken! The pumpkin potato mash is a special combination. Both are my comfort food. Curly fries are perfectly fried and seasoned too!

My friend ordered a Big Breakfast Crepe. RM30 (USD 6+)

It is made up of wholemeal crepe, sausage, ham, butter-sauteed mushrooms and spinach, golden hash brown, bakes beans, and scrambled eggs.

The taste was good, but the portion was a little big for my friend! 😂

Another friend ordered a Pesto Chicken Sandwich. RM24 (USD 5+)

It is made up of sourdough, grilled chicken, pesto sauce, cheddar, spinach, and cherry tomatoes.

I LOVE THE SOURDOUGH BREAD! The cheese makes it even tastier! I'm craving this now T.T

Dark Side Choc Crepe. RM14.50 (USD 3+)

A choc crepe with dark choc spread, white choc curls, and vanilla ice cream. With a cutely written "happy birthday" wording on it too!

Love thissss as it's not sweet! Oh my, I'm craving this now as well T.T

Happy belated birthday once again Connie @happycrazycon! You're a sunshine laughter bomb wherever you go! Do you know you have a very contagious laugh? I can even imagine your laughter in my ears as I write now. HAHAHAHAHA!

"Whether a savoury meal or sweet dessert, food tastes better when you're relaxed, happy and surrounded by good vibes!"

Couldn't agree more! There were definitely great waves of laughter (and tears) as the girls chatted through the night. ❤️

Food is such a powerful connector between humans. Don't you think so?

Aside from our daily meals. food appears at almost every important celebratory milestone in our life. It has the ability to gather humans in one place. Be it birthdays, anniversaries, farewells, or even funerals. 😅

I'm thinking how do humans celebrate each other if there's no food? Hmmm. 🤔 But if there's no food, we will firstly die of hunger. Hahahahaha

Let me rephrase. How do humans celebrate each other without the presence of food? Hmmm. 🤔 Maybe we can gather people around, but without food, something just feels missing eh?

Hahaha ok, excuse my daydream thoughts. :p

Back to the topic, this is my second time at Strangers at 47. It never disappoints!

I have bookmarked this place as one of the best cafes in Klang valley in terms of affordability, decent ambience and most importantly, good food! They have good customer service as well. The waiters came by every now and then to ask about the food, chat and laugh with you, voluntarily take group pictures etc. They try their best to make their customers happy in every way they can.

I guess that is what makes this place special and still patronized by many after many years (they even survived the pandemic!). Do give them a try if you haven't! (Thanks for the awesome recommendation @Trieors!💯)

Strangers at 47
45, 47 49, Jalan 17/45, Seksyen 17, 46400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
10.30am-9pm
Closed on Tues

The '47' in the restaurant's name is derived from the original lot number of the shop. It was initially located on the 47th lot of that row.

Judging from the mural quotes, I guess this cafe is named Strangers at 47 in order to symbolise that people may once be a stranger at 47, but after stepping into this place, they will soon find a new friend. :)

"Meet a friend or befriend a stranger at 47."
