Tajudin Nasi Briyani, Medan Pasar Kuala Lumpur

When it comes to food, I am undoubtedly a rice person (China-man mah!). And when it comes to the different varieties and preparation methods of rice, Nasi Briyani is undoubtedly ranked among the highest in terms of taste in my books. I am very fortunate to be working near one of the best Nasi Briyani stalls in KL, namely Tajudin Nasi Briyani in Medan Pasar.

This humble little nasi briyani stall has been the ultimate GO TO place for workers around Medan Pasar. Located in a back alley, kindly disregard hygienic and comfortable surroundings if you plan to eat here but trust me, the food is absolutely to die for.



































The speciality here is their nasi briyani with fried chicken, which cost RM5. thats right, freaking 5 ringgit? Where to find in KL??? The meal comes with their signature smabal, which is smooth and sweet and not spicy at all along with fresh cucumber slices. I usually order a side of sambal eggs as well as I love some eggs with my lunch. The rice is very aromatic with a hint of saffron, and is really soft and fluffy, absolutely how good nasi briyani should taste like.


































The fried chicken here smells absolutely impressive. I suspect they use kampong chicken as the meat is lean yet tender, and of course very very juicy. Make sure you load up the fried chicken skins & flour leftovers or charcoal bits as I like to call them. heh.

















As for the smooth sambal, its definitely one of the best sambals I've ever tasted. The lack of hotness in this sambal compliments the rice really well without overpowering it. For those who prefers something with an extra kick, various curry sauces and extra hot sambals are available for you as well.






















Besides fried chicken, Tajudin offers a lot more choices of meat as well, such as mutton, quail, fish and squid. They also serve roti canai in the mornings too.









































































Tajudin is realy a great find in the middle of KL, offering great food which comes with modest pricing. I personally go there every single week for lunch. So note that parking is non existing there and its absolutely packed during lunch as there are less than 15 seats there. I normally go there around 12 or 3pm just to beat the lunch crowd.

Here's a map for you readers. The place is really hard to locate if you are not familiar with the area. It's located between the old OCBC byuilding and a stationary shop, opposite a money changer shop. Look for the fruit stall facing the main road and Tajudin is just next to it.

doggyjames says...a great hidden gem in the middle of KL, this warrants a place on my TOP 10 Malaysian makan places, you die die must try!

Fruitty Cafe, Tesco Shah Alam

Fruitty cake house was one of the more famous cafes in Klang years ago...I can still recall going to the place right after church just to have some of their famous Nasi Lemak & cakes YEARS ago...good times indeed. So when i found out that Fruitty had opened a store in Tesco Shah Alam, i knew i had to try it! This is now one of my favourite lunch places in Shah Alam.

Fruitty Cafe is located on the ground floor, and its easily visible from the outside. They offer daily lunches here, mainly to attract to working crowd. You'd have to order & pay at the counter, next to all those yummy yummy cakes, then find a place and the waitress would serve you your meals.

















from outside

Me & Carmen both ordered the Nasi Briyani with Rendang Chicken set, which comes with the cake of the day and a glass of iced lemon tea. The nasi briyani was a little bit blend to be honest, but the Rendang made up for it. Chicken was cooked to perfection, just soft enough yet the meat still holds together and retains all its juices. The Rendang sauce must be one of the best sauces in cafe standards....beats any of those old town/new town whateva kopitiams hands down. Must try!

Rebecca & Ms Wan ordered the Fish & Chips set, which comes with the usual cake & tea. The meal might not loog very appetising, but from what i heard, the fish was just right...not dry at all...and i reckon that was the first time i see both girls clearing their chips! hmmm...must be good then...but then definately not better than the Briyani & Rendang set....hehe

















nothing like rice & good sauce eh?

















fish n chippies

















the cake of the day...i know it looks horrible. taste wise...very so-so...

Another trademark of Fruitty is their Apple Strudles. They claimed that the recipe came from Australia...how much of that is true i dont know...but they are really good. Apples inside taste just right, not too sweet yet just enough to not let the acidity overpower the whole strudle. Pastry skin is very crunchy too. You can buy a piece for RM4 or a whole "log" for RM20...Trust me, you wouldnt wanna miss this.

















do have one...

















then tapau 1 more log hahaha

The bill came to less than RM 14.40 per person, very worth it. They do have different choices as well...ranging from Nasi Lemak to Different Sandwichs. Price wise they're all below RM15.











the gals r happy
