☕ 50. Special Coffee O (Hot, No Sugar) = RM3.60
Service Tax 6% = RM1.00
Here is the Full Menu of the Eatery/Restaurant.Prices are Accurate as of the Date of the Post.
Nasi Lemak is the National Dish of Malaysia 🇲🇾 and this is arguably One of the More Famous Ones in KL. 🤔 Because it was a Sunday that I planned to visit and since it opens at 6.30am, I was prepared for it and tried my best to reach here at 7.00am...and it was still practically Full-House even at such an Early Time!! 😳
No Kidding. Just look at the Video I took at 7.00am on a Sunday Morning! 🎥😳 If its already Almost Full-House like this at this Hour, I cannot even begin to imagine how Crazy the Crowds will be during their Later Peak Meal Hours! 😳🤯
If you want to visit, you'd better plan properly lest you get into a Horrific Queue. 😳 From a Friendly Fellow Customer that I chatted with, its not only Weekends, apparently this Place is Equally as Popular even on Weekdays! 😳🤯
Interior of the Eatery
As you enter the Entrance, you will see the Main Serving Area filled with Rows of Delicious Trays of Food. 😋 The Staffs are Polite, Friendly, Welcoming and mostly keep to themselves. The Actual Dining Area is further past this Entrance Area. Rather Large Area with 2 Sections, the Place was Comfortably Air-Conditioned. ❄️
Interestingly from what I understand from a Very Friendly Patron (whom I will feature later) this Place actually started back in 2004. 🤔 Even more Surprising, although the Decor and Renovation of this Place has a Classic Malay 马来风味 Flavour to it, the Actual Owner is Chinese. 🤔
How to Order your Food:
1) Grab a Menu 📃 and Secure a Seat
2) When you are ready to order, just raise your hand to get the Attention from any of the Roving Staff to Order. 🙋♂️ They can speak abit of English, but it would be better if you can at least use abit of Basic Malay. 👍
3) At the End of the Meal, pay at the Front Counter that's near the Entrance Area.
A Very Friendly Chat with a Fellow Customer while I was here. 😄
As I shared seat, I got into a Very Friendly Conversation with the Fellow Friendly Lady Customer by the name of Ms Long. 😄 It was Fortuitous that just nice she herself is from Klang which I had also planned to visit and I learned alot of things from her. 👍
She and a Partner owned a Bakery in Klang called Bread Berry Bakery Sdn Bhd. 🍞🥖 Really Nice Lady, she gave me alot of Helpful Info about Klang, and even recommended a Truly Hidden Gem BKT that has never been featured by any SG-Based Food Bloggers / Influencers. 😳 It is really the type of Place that only Local Klangites will know. Of course I will also feature this Special Gem too! 😄
Anyway, it took 7 Mins for the Kopi-O-Kosong, ☕ and 10 Mins for the Nasi Lemak. 🍚 Everything was served up within 10 Mins which was quite impressive considering the Place was Almost Full-House when I was there. 👍
☕ 50. Special Coffee O (Hot, No Sugar) = RM3.60
I don't know what's so "Special" about this, but this is a Solid Coffee to Start the Day. ☕👍
Robust and Gao Gao and doesn't have any Siap Siap Taste. 👍 Strong but also not those Fierce Smack you Awake Type. Solid Good Brew.
🍚 1. Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng = RM13.00
Of course they have Different Variations of Nasi Lemak, but Ayam Goreng is the Most Common Signature Dish that Most Customers will order. 🐔🍚 Beautifully Presented, the Whole Dish looked Appetizing already. 😄 Visually doesn't seem like there are any attempts to scrimp on anything. 👍
I would describe this Sambal as... Juicy? 🌶️💦 I don't know why but this was the Word that crossed my mind when I ate this. 😅
Juicy Bite Texture, it has a Deep Robust Earthy Flavour. Elevated Spiciness that can Bite and will linger on your Tongue. 🌶️ Its Sweet, but Not Overly Sweet. I find this a Very Good Quality Sambal especially for a Not so Sweet one. 👍
Although it does smell as Fragrant as Malay-Styled 马来风味, 🤔 I find the Level of that Unique Lemakness to be slightly lacking. 🥥
Nevertheless, this is still a Very Good Level of Nasi Lemak Rice. 👍 Classic Jasmine Rice is used for this and Texture is Simultaneously Fluffy and also 粒粒分明. 🍚 Amount of Rice also Very Acceptable for the Price, doesn't feel Stingy. 👍
🐔🍗 Quality of the Ayam Goreng
The Big Fat Chonker of a Drummy Thigh is something that Many Reviews rave about. 😋 It is indeed Big and Fat and is Very Visually Appetizing. 👍 The Best Thing about this is that it is Freshly Fried so it was Juicy and Tender, also Not Overly Salty. 😋 Not Overly Marinated and retains its Original Chicken Meat without it being Too Chickeny too. 👍 The Little Goreng Pieces were not Hard Crunchy to the Bite but more of a Soft Crisp that I like.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At the Price of RM3.60 (S$1.10) for the Special Coffee ☕ is Slightly Expensive but I still feel this is worth it because it is a Solid Robust Good Brew. 👍 If you want a Solid Good Coffee to start your day, you won't go wrong with this. 👍 I just don't know whats so "Special" about it though. 😅
At the Price of RM13.00 (S$4.00) I feel is a Very Reasonable and Actually Affordable Price for this Very Decent Plate of Nasi Lemak. 🍚👍 For the Taste and Value of Food you are getting, this is a Very Reasonable Price to pay considering how Famous it is. And to add to it, you're dining in an Air-Conditioned Environment. ❄️
That said, I also need to set your Expectation. 🤔 This is a Very Decent Quality Nasi Lemak, but do not come here expecting it to Completely Blow your Mind. 🤯🙅♂️ It is Good yes, but I also feel it is not as Mind Blowingly Amazing like how its being Described in some of the Various Food Reviews online praising this place. 🤔
And this is my Personal Opinion of this Place. I have absolutely no issues with the Taste, Value, Price, Service of the Place. 👍 Everything here works very well to provide me with a Delightful Dining Experience 😄 and I even got the chance to enjoy a Very Educational and Friendly Chat with a Fellow (Klangite) Customer who added alot to my Experience. 😄
If you have the chance to eat this without a long queue, fine go ahead, you will most likely enjoy yourself. 👍 Otherwise, I do not feel that is worth queueing HOURS for, especially from what I read from some of the Reviews of this Place. 🤔
Remember, you will need to really plan properly if you want to visit this. 🕒🤔 It was Practically Full House even at 7.00am on a Sunday Morning. 🌞😳 Not only that, apparently even on Weekdays I understand may also be the Same Case so you really need to be prepared for this. Best of Luck! 😅
