Bai Wei Mini Bowl recently opened its shop in Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Klang. It is a relative newer trend from China to serve the dishes in small bowls, hence the name of the shop.
The staff scoops the dishes in same portion into mini bowls. Then diners like us are to choose the dishes that we like into a complete meal.
The shop kept the dishes on the steamer at the counter to keep it warm. The concept is very much like our familiar mixed rice. The difference are that:
The shop scoops the dishes into the bowl in same portion, the price is transparent to diners
The shop wraps all the mini bowls with cling wrap. It seems more hygienic in current setting. Although more wastage and less environmental friendly with the single use wrap.
Although named mini bowls, the portion is actually more than the usual single scoop of mixed rice. It is also pricier, however the dining environment is air-conditioned and not the usual coffeeshop.
The mini bowls on display. The dishes are always on steamer to keep it warm

The notice board at the entrance - it says 24 hours however at the moment the shop is operating until. Also wonder will the business be good during mid night

More bowls on the display
The bowls were not too hot to pick up, only that the rice steel bowls were quite hot to the hand
Lunch situation at Bai Wei Mini Bowl. The soup is free of charge. This meal costed us RM32, equally to RM16 per person. Not too bad considering the portion and dining environment. The shop is also offering free reheat service, however we wonder if there will be anyone reheating the dish half way eating it
Hand torn cabbage with pork belly
This was our favourite - the sour spicy shredded potato. Appetizing
Garlic prawn with glass noodle, the garlic was quite thick hence tasted bit bitter
The rice with dishes
