Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa Kampung Baru at Dataran Sunway, Kota Damansara

Recently after the closure of Kafe 888, the shop lot has been kept empty for few months until Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa Kampung Baru took over. The shop have been re-renovated and just open for business last week. I am a big fan of nasi lemak but I never step my foot at their main outlet which located at Kg Baru KL. Everytime I get turn off by the long que.


I am not sure the history of this nasi lemak but their name is really well known. When people said wanna go for nasi lemak in KL, automatically Kg Baru KL nasi lemak will come in mind. When I arrive there, the restaurant is 50% occupied.


The huge picture displaying people que for nasi lemak at the main branch




Nice and comfortable environment

I met Kampungboy and City Gal after seated for a while and we ate together. Seriously the service here are terrible. We need to wait for everything at least 20 mins for them to take order, deliver and return my change after paying the bill. In their main branch, everything was self service. Here they will pass you a menu and take down your order. Then they input the order to the computer nearby so that the kitchen can process the order. It take around 15 minutes for them to deliver.


We sit at the back area as the front part were mostly big tables cater for 4 or more pax


A standard nasi lemak plate come with coconut milk rice, anchovies with peanuts, 1/2 hard boiled egg and cucumber RM2.95


Sambal Udang Petai Add On + RM4.95 with just 3 medium small sized prawns with a couple of “THINLY” sliced petai

I don’t find this plate of nasi lemak giving me any special BANG on its taste. The special thing about Kg Baru nasi lemak was actually their sambal taste and their paru goreng only. I don’t take innards so I didn’t order it. The prawns served were 2 pcs fresh and 1 piece not fresh. Rice wise, it is cold (Not cause by my photograph time). I just took a few fast shots. I ordered extra anchovies which I like a lot to go along with my plate of nasi lemak. The ikan bilis also not that crunchy.


Extra Ikan Bilis – RM0.50


My appetizer which they should serve first before my nasi lemak … end up the last one that came. This cost RM2.50
The fish cracker also not crunchy and soft

Overall, I feel this nasi lemak is kinda over rated to me. The taste doesn’t give me much special impression that will make me return for a second plate. I still love my traditional road side nasi lemak sold in front of HSBC Jalan Ipoh early in the morning. That stall opened at 7am and sold out before 9am. The rice, sambal, ikan bilis and cucumber alone pawn nasi lemak antarabangsa. Not to mention the price for their food and drinks. A glass of diluted and tastely teh ais which made using the 3 in 1 cost me RM2.95. The most expensive Teh Ais in Kota Damansara. 10% Service Tax applied.

Nasi Lemak Mak Wanjor @ Kampung Baru





I confess, I ain't no fan of Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa. For years I have heard about their legendary food and the queues of people flocking their stall. However when I tasted it for the first time, I was shocked. The sambal tasted just like it came out from the packet of chili boh. It was numbingly spicy but the taste was flat. Sorry to those who are fans but honestly, there's much better nasi lemak elsewhere.


Feeling dissapointed with Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa, I was steered towards this place just down the road from it by a Kampung Baru resident. Mak Wanjor is a simple set up - just a few metal trays of curries and sambals set up at a roadside stall. You pick and choose what you wish to order and they will assemble it for you. Either pack back in brown paper lined with banana leaf or eat inside where tables and chairs are located.

What's really good is the fluffy rice grains with a faint hint of the coconut milk it's steamed in. The not too thick sambal is slightly sweetish with ikan bilis (anchovies) in it. Mix it with the rice to get a fully satisfying meal. I tend to like the fried chicken here - juicy and fragrant with spices. They also serve sambal sotong, paru (cow lungs), kerang (cockles), rendang and etc.

Nasi Lemak Cikgu @Kelana Jaya

What do you know about Nasi Lemak? I am very sure every Malaysian definitely know what is Nasi Lemak and to those of you who are still unsure, especially foreigners, let me briefly explain this dish that's commonly sold over here in Malaysia. Nasi means Rice and Lemak means Fat but don't freak out, when Nasi and Lemak combines together, it becomes a name, a famous one in Malaysia. Traditionally, Nasi Lemak is categorized under Malay cuisine and surprisingly it's savoured by everyone in Malaysia, be it Chinese, Indians, Malays... everyone just love Nasi Lemak. A very common Nasi Lemak would have Rice steamed in Coconut Milk and usually served with Sambal, Peanuts, Boiled Eggs, Cucumbers and fried Anchovies.

Talk about Nasi Lemak, seriously, I don't even remember when was da last time I actually had one, not to mention a good one cause I hardly ate rice for many years. However, there's a turning point recently where I begin to love Rice. I thought since I am back to Rice diet, da first thing that came into my mind was Nasi Lemak and so, I asked darling if he knows any places that serve scrumptious Nasi Lemak and all he did was smile to me and from his smiling face, he seemed to have an answer. Da very next day after I asked that question..

Darling said, "Let's eat Nasi Lemak for brunch!"

Oh, that's very cool and I asked, "Where to?"

He answered me, "Kelana Jaya, my friend brought me here once."

About 20 minutes drive to Kelana Jaya, da place that darling suggested was actually Nasi Lemak Cikgu Restaurant. Once reached, my memory suddenly flashed back, da name of this Restaurant sounds so familiar! Only then I remember that some bloggers did review this place and not only that, I remember I saw their article once somewhere in da newspaper too! Oh, I was joyful!

Over here at Nasi Lemak Cikgu, a very plain Nasi Lemak is priced at RM 2, so it's really affordable but we didn't go for that. We wanted something special hence darling ordered one plate of Nasi Lemak with Ayam Goreng for himself which is priced at RM 6 per plate and one plate of Nasi Lemak with Sotong (RM 4) for me. Ooopppsss, not too cheap I thought especially da one with Ayam Goreng but, yes, there's a but! After savoring few spoonful of da Coconut Milk Rice plainly (yeaps without da sambal), my mind went blank. Da tastes oh so good, so aromatic! Can you imagine that da Rice itself is already so tasteful what about having it with Sambal and other condiments? Boy oh boy, it was delicious! Da Sambal wasn't too sweet, wasn't too spicy, just at da right level for me and I love da fact that they actually cooked da Sambal with lotsa big Onions. Tasted da Sambal with Rice, I moved on to taste da Squid. Wow, very springy and fresh... I loved it! Darling's Ayam Goreng was good too as I believe that it was just fried not long ago since it was still hot when we had it and surprisingly da meat was not oily at all, very tender meat too!

I would say that our brunch didn't cost us much, about RM 13 with 2 glasses of Iced Lemon Tea. I also find out that they do serve Roti Bakar too, RM 1.20 per set. Overall, I am satisfied with da Nasi Lemak here and if you have better recommendations, please do not hesitate to leave comments for me as I am currently just so into Nasi Lemak, such an addiction! Lol...

Economy Rice Nasi Lemak @Jalan Peel Kuala Lumpur

Some evenings when all I want is a quick meal at night I sometimes head to Peel Road or Jalan Peel. The stalls here opposite Carrefour have a great selection of quick street food that just hits the spot. One such stall is the Nasi Lemak stall.


This stall, located roughly in the middle of the row of hawker stalls does a roaring business. They open at about 5.30pm and by 8pm you might see some items already sold out. What they sell is nasi lemak.

They also have normal white rice. The toppings available are quite standard and include fried chicken, curry/rendang chicken, chicken in soy sauce, slices of luncheon meat, potatoes, fried egg, asam fish etc. Vegetables tend to be rather scanty – usually only 3 selections. Its not a lot of choice but they make up for it in taste.


This was a meal I took one evening – white rice with 1 curry chicken thigh and long beans. You get the standard nasi lemak topping of half a hardboiled egg, fried ikan bilis and sambal included. It cost RM4.50.

Here’s another dish – fried chicken and cabbage with standard nasi lemak topping – also RM4.50.


I find their prices pretty reasonable which might explain the huge crowd of people at the stall every night. The stall next door sells economy rice with a greater selection of food and you hardly see anyone at it. Its really weird how things work. But there you go.
