A serving cost RM8.90. The rice was cooked in pandan essence, and hence was light green in colour. The nasi lemak had all the usual condiments like deep-fried ikan bilis and peanuts, a hard-boiled egg, cucumber slices, a deep-fried chicken thigh, and handful of crackers. The sambal was slightly sweet and spicy.
We also tried the Lalapan Ayam, at RM9.90. A clay plate was filled with a deep-fried chicken thigh, a quarter of deep-fried tempeh, a quarter of deep-fried beancurd, cucumber, blanched cabbage, spinach and long beans, with the sambal at the centre of the plate. Rice was served on a separate plate.

The sambal tasted alright - spicy and salty, but the serving was rather small, so there wasn't enough to dip my vegetables and meat with.
That aside, the fried chicken for both the Nasi Lemak and Nasi Lalapan tasted bland, if not for the sambal.

Anyway, lunch was a pretty comfy affair, as the restaurant is air-conditioned. A good place to eat especially when the weather is blazing hot!
Nothing beats eating in a restaurant which offers good food and a cool ambiance.
ReplyDeleteMay I know the whereabouts of Shukie? I am curious to try out its Nasi Lemak and Nasi Lalapan. I have a predilection for hot, piquant sambal.
By the way, I heard through the grapevine that Muara Restaurant serves the best Nasi Lalapan. Of course, we should listen with a grain of salt.
I agree fully with you. Shukie is along Jalan Bulatan Park. It's somewhat between Nikko and Miri City Food Court. Do give the lalapan a try. Personally, I prefer Muara's sambal. ;)
