Nasi Lemak Sambal Sotong Banting

Nasi Lemak memang dah sinonim la dengan orang Malaysia..tak kira apa bangsa semua sure layan breakfast nasi lemak..
To me what makes a great nasi lemak is 2 things - the rice & sambal. Nama pun dah nasi lemak, so nasi tu kena la rasa santan nye..kalau tak, jadi nasi putih je la kan..tapi yang paling penting is the sambal...hmm kalau sambal fail..memang fail la nasi lemak tu.. my kind of sambal..mesti pedas and rasa manis2 sikit..secukup rasa...

So last week me & hub kena la pegi hantar my nephew, Ijjat to Kolej Mara Banting for his interview..hmmm first thing yang i google is makan place la..hehehee..
Nak kena sampai sana by 8am..walauwehhh..on Sunday pulak tu..hmm kena la bagun awal weekend tu..pengorbanan seorang mak sedara... :P

Ingat nak breakfast dulu sebelum ke Kolej Mara Banting tu..dah target nak breakfast Nasi Lemak Sotong in Banting..sekali kolej tu sebelum bandar banting so memang la tak sempat..terus hantar Ijjat dulu. Kesian dia..pi interview tak breakfast pun..minum Milo je sebelum gerak tadi..

Lepas je hantar dia, apa lagi..terus la misi mencari Nasi Lemak Sotong yang famous kat Banting tu..

Warung Kak Leha menjadi pilihan.. Sebenarnya ada 3 kedai kat sini, semua sebelah2 and jual menu yang sama..only the sambal varies..tengok review semua cakap sedap..so kitorang just tried our luck kat Warung Kak Leha ni..

Banting kan agak sinonim dengan orang2 Jowo..so memang every table ada tempe goreng..kalau nak layan before nasi lemak sampai silakan..

Wow..sambal sotong memang superb..pedas2 manis..the way i like...sotong dia is sotong kering tu..sesetengah orang panggil sotong getah ..so sapa yang tak makan bole la try sambal kerang or lauk lain..
Harga..a plate of nasi lemak sambal sotong is RM4..kira ok la..sotong tu kan mahal sikit..
 

Dua lagi warung bersebelahan, Warung Pak Musa & Warung Kak Ita

Tempe Goreng

Delish sambal sotong!!

Nasi Lemak ok2 je..not bad la..

Lepas makan planning nak lepak2 morib jap...hmm samapi je pantai moring..my nephew call cakap dah setel semua...alahai..tak smpt nak turun dari keta pun..so patah balik kitorang..our food trails in Banting ends here..maybe next time we'll hunt for other places pulak..

Best Roti Canai at Raju's

Tempat ni is famous among those yang selalu ke Bukit Gasing. Balik exercise je sure breakfast kat sini. 
So memang ramai la orangnye..especially on weekends.
Hmm tapi sebab sedap punya pasal..gigih jugak..nak carik parking pun satu hal..jangan sesekali park kat area rumah orang..nanti silap2 MBPJ datang angkut keta. :(

So what's so special about this place.. its Roti Canai, ada jugak Tossai but I tak minat sangat.
Roti dia memang best..garing kat luar but still lembut kat dalam..
Harga dia pricey sikit kalau compare ngan mamak lain, but they guarantee on quality and freshness..no MSG in all their food.
Nak bagi bangkit selera lagi, kena order la goreng2..ie ikan goreng, sotong goreng, ayam goreng..semua goreng panas2..memang layannnn...

Makan kat sini ada cara dia, sebab sapa yang tak tau bole bikin panas jugak.
Ok..once kita dah dapat table, table kita tu hanya akan di serve oleh designated waiter je..so tengok nama dia betul2..muka diorang dah la sama..semua pun ada misai..:)
Dia akan letak daun pisang atas meja.. (ni la pinggan kita nanti ye)
Kalau panggil orang lain memang tak layan punya..buat bodoh je..so kita kena panggil waiter kita tu balik untuk tambah order etc.. Hangin jugak kadang2..kena banyak bersabor sebab orang pun ramai.. :)

Bila roti dah sampai, diorang akan letak bekas kuah (in aluminium container). Ada 2 jenis bekas kuah ni..satu ada kuah dhal, puree & sambal ( ni yang paling best & ada only on weekends je) satu lagi ada kuah kari ayam & kari ikan.

Pastu time2 tengah makan, waiter tu akan tanya nak tambah order lagi ke tak..kalau tak nak..dia akan bagi satu paper slip.
Dah setel makan je..kita bawak slip tu ke kaunter and bayar..

Woh,,bagi peminat nasi daun pisang pun ada jugak kat sini..dalam kul 11.30 camtu boleh la mintak nasik ek..


 

Sotong goreng & Ayam Goreng menanti untuk dijamah..

Makan atas daun pisang yeerr..traditional Indian style

Campur semua kuah sekali & layan...

Kuah2 sini semua self-service, so ambik la sesuka hati- kuah dhal & kuah kari

New Hollywood & Vanggey Yong Suan

When in Ipoh,,two of the must visit makan place is Restoran New Hollywood & Nasi Vanggey aka Nasi Ganja..

First up for breakfast we head to Restoran New Hollywood, Canning Garden. konsep typical chinese kopitiam, with all sort of local chinese delicacies. No worries, all food here are guaranteed Halal, they've also been featured in The Star Newspaper as its a truly 1 Malaysia Restoran, all sort of races be it chinese, malay or indian dines here.

Well my fav here is their kopi ais & roti goyang (roti bakar with half-boiled egg on top)...marvelous..

Others like the curry mee, char kuey teow & charkoi are also good....macam-macam ada sini..

Kopi Ice..

Roti Goyang

All walks of life dines here

For lunch, kena try Nasi Vanggey (aka Nasi Ganja)..They actually occupying front part of Restoran Yong Suan..so you just order air from the taukey & nasi from the mamak. Got to be here early (11.30am) or it will be jam packed..
There's another Restoran Vanggey in Greentown, but this is way better, but if its closed you can do with the second one la. :)

Look at the long queue

Luckily, kalau dine in tak payah beratur, just look for a table (you have to share table) & order.

Kopi ais here is superb

The.Bread.Shop

My hubs & bread, both cannot be separated..hari2 makan roti..cemuih dah..:) He can live by only eating bread alone...not me!!!

So this shop is recommended by him la..nama pun The Bread Shop.. . Located kat shoplot celah2 kawasan perumahan Damansara Heights..easiest way to get hear..take the road kat Pusat Sains Negara tu..naik bukit..kat trafffic light, turn left..then turn left again at the first junction..ada short row of shops kat situ..

Specialty kedai ni breads & seangkatan dengannya.. 

Morning dose of caffeine - Cappuccino

Cinnamon roll, Raisin Scones

Scones with cream & jam - wajib order, best scones in town!!

Minimalist deco - yg penting food sedap!!!

AyuDenira's Verdict:

• The scones are to die for..goes well with the cream & jam, come early to avoid disappointment
• Breads are baked fresh..premium ingredients..but prices x la premium sangat..
• They do have sandwiches, pizza, pasta etc.. as well.
