Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia｜Nasi Lemak CIAST

Great place that sells delicious nasi lemak. With variety of options, you could get a reasonably large portion of nasi lemak from Rm 6.00 - Rm 10.00 with respect to types of dishes you selected. The nasi lemak sambal sotong was good. Soft squid + sweet spicy sambal is a good combination for someone who's spicy intolerent. Parking may be a hassle due to location between residential area and roadside.

Today old man is at Seksyen 19 Shah Alam opposite a vocational college and a residential area. It's packed, people are waiting to order 4 or more packs in front of me. Everyone illegally parks, families come out for brekkie, a fireman shows up in full suit and a fire truck. We are all in line for nasi lemak. On the table today is nasi lemak sambal paru with telor mata (RM6.50). Let's break this down. The sambal is sweet type with very little hint of spiciness. I thought that I wouldn't like this as I like the savoury sambal but this surprised me. A lot. The rice is very nice, reminds me of peak SS2 balai nasi lemak. Loose and individual. The anchovies (ikan bilis) is proper, crispy and salty. This will balance up the sweet sambal. The star of the dish is the paru (cow lung). I've had rubbery and almost impossible to chew paru before but this is really nice and nothing like what I had before. Nice amount of chew, sweetness and saltiness. I had to do a double take to see if I was eating beef. The mix of sambal, ikan.bilis and paru from nasi lemak d'ciast goes really well. So it's not a surprise when people are willing to patiently wait 10 minutes for it to be cooked. The queue starts at 7.30am and again parking is non-existent ( street parking). Dine in is available with the picnic tables at both sides. The wait can be long, sometimes 20 minutes above depending on how many packs is ordered in front of you. The base price is RM5.50. As I drove away, I turn to the opposite of the freeway and I see my next rendezvous. Stay tuned for the nasi lemak jambatan tamparuli. *NOTE* This is not a paid post; the written content is based on author's personal opinion and preference.
