Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa Kampung Baru, Shah Alam

Lately me & some of my office mates noticed that the famous nasi lemak antarabangsa had just opened a branch near our office in Shah Alam. So one fine day when Carmen called me out for early lunch, we just had to try this place out, which is like 5 minutes from our office.

The place is in the new business area in Taman TTDI Jaya, seksyen U2. This is certainly a welcomed change from the usual old school food courts, warungs, pasar malams, mamaks & tepi jalan stalls. I know this might sound a little bit ulu but...its my first time having nasi lemak in an air conditioned environment :D

Below are some pictures of the place. The green exterior certainly strikes out among the number of normal looking restaurants there. There is this vibrant feel to the place which i cant really explain...definitely boosting my cravings for some nice hot nasi lemak!

We ordered nasi lemak sets each, which comes with a glass of iced lemon tea. They politely informed us that the rendang ayam would take about 20 minutes to prepare so we figured might as well wait...at the meantime munch on some cokodok pisang.

The cokodok pisangs were amazing. Now this is not the usual cold flourballs with no trace of banana in them like what u'd expect from a mamak stall, but generously pisang-filled and hot from the wok! wow...talk about awaking your appetite! comes with a cuppa hot coffee too...coffee was...normal la...haha

Shortly after the great appetizer our nasi lemaks arrived :D oh my let me tell u its worth the wait! the rendang chicken has such a complex mixture of spices yet the chef did a superb job in harmonizing the dish. Its like the classic saying "its like theres a party in my mouth and everyones invited"! The chicken was so juicy & tender...and guess what...its was the chicken breast. This must be the best chicken breast i've tried in years!

My beef rendang was not as bombastic as the chicken...but it was certainly a class above the usual ones at your local mamak or road side stall ( sorry auntie manning nasi lemak stall near my office... ). Definitely a great meal. Comes with 3 big slices of smoked paru paru as well. I would however prefer the rice to be a little more fragrant, but Carmen said its just fine.

















awesome chicken rendang nasi lemak

The meal cost us RM26. Higher than the usual fair but we definately would come back for more.



Heres a map for you readers. If your are coming from Shah Alam, go straight from Giant, pass the crossroad and a Shell station on your left. the restaurant is after the petrol station, on your left.
