Nasi Lemak Cikgu at Kelana Jaya

Recently, my colleague brought me to a famous nasi lemak (coconut rice) shop after a meeting. The meeting took about an hour and we were on our way back to the office when one of my collegues suggested we have lunch at Nasi Lemak cikgu in Kelana Jaya. I have never heard or even eat there. So unadventurous of me, right?



I was told that the nasi lemak cikgu used to be a road side stall near the Kelana Jaya football field. It was always jammed with cars and people espeically when the players were there. The football players and audiences would eat at Nasi Lemak Cikgu after a game and it become very famous. It was called Nasi Lemak Cikgu because the owner used to be a teacher. So no brainer, right? Why didn't I think of that? Anyway, it seems the football field was later expanded and the crowd has became too huge that it jammed up the road around that area. So the owner move to a shoplot just few meters aways from the field.



When we arrived at the shop, there were only few customers. Maybe because we arrived at 11.45am for lunch. The environment was clean and bright. We order nasi lemak (coconut rice) with chicken. The chicken was just nice. It wasn't salty or hard like most malay stores I visited near my office. The meat was juicy and tender with the taste of spices. The sotong sambal was the star. The taste is a sweet and spicy. The sotong was well cook and the taste of the sambal blend well with the sotong. They compliment each other. Although it look spicy, it's actually quite mild. So for those who love hot and spicy food, this may not be your favourite. However, for those who like their sambal less spicy and want to taste of sambal when you out in your mouth, this is the place. The price is reasonable, altough for me is a bit on the high side. It's RM6 per plate. If you only want normal nasi lemak without the chicken, then it's RM2 per plate. Overall, I will recommend my friends or bring them over for a bite.
