Kampung Baru (translated to new village) has come a long way since the British colonial in 1900. While Kampung Baru is still retaining their village lifestyle within the city, the place has become a must-visit heaven for food lovers. Aside from the traditional houses, there is also a wide variety of good food.

With that said, here is our list of 10 sedap giler food in Kampung Baru you gotta try.

1. Wanjo Nasi Lemak

Residents around Kampung Baru will definitely be familiar with this nasi lemak stall. Wanjo Nasi Lemak still uses the same family recipe passed down for generations since 1963. Their sambal is on the sweet side, but their side dishes such as sambal sotong is spicy. There are many other dishes to add on too, such as fried chicken, cockles, beef rendang and lots more. You can come here during breakfast as they open as early as 6.30 in the morning.

2. Ayam Penyet Mak Maya

If you’re a big fan of ayam penyet, then Ayam Penyet Mak Maya should be included in your eating list. They serves their ayam penyet differently, in which the chicken is more tender and juicy. The burning hot sambal is prepared “fresh” on the spot by pounding chilies, peanut, tomato and more to the paste form. Pair it all in one spoonful, amazing! Other than ayam penyet, they also serve ikan kembung and ikan keli.

3. Apam Balik Nusantara

If you visit Kampung Baru on a regular basis, you’ll most definitely heard of this Apam Balik Nusantara. Specializes in serving Indonesian style apam, do expect the apam to be thicker and and moist, because of the extra butter and flour that are stuffed inside the apam. There are over 20 choices of fillings to choose from but the most popular choice is none other than durian cheese and chocolate banana.

5. Cendol Durian Kampung Baru

Walking pass near this alley you will notice many durian stalls and even another durian cendol stall. But Durian Runtuh is the only stall that had a long queue and crowded with customers which is a good sign.

Think about some of the most popular Nasi Lemak in Kuala Lumpur, chances are you might name Nasi Lemak Wanjo. Located in Kampung Baru, this humble eatery is famous among locals during breakfast and supper as they operate from early morning until late night.

Formerly known as Nasi Lemak Mak Wanjo, the restaurant has been operating for 55 years as they started as a regular roadside stall. Today Nasi Lemak Wanjo is highly regarded as the best Nasi Lemak in Kuala Lumpur.

Much like most Nasi Lemak stalls, you will be served a standard plate of santan rice and essential ingredients ikan bilis , boiled egg and cucumber. Feel free to request for more rice or sambal as you will not be charged extra for it. And lastly, you proceed with the side dishes of your choice.

Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken and Sotong Sambal (RM11)

Two of the better side dish here are the Sambal Sotong and Fried chicken. The fried chicken had a wonderful smell, moist and tender on the inside. The Sambal Sotong on the other hand is cooked to the right tenderness. The sotong sizes were quite big and the sambal here was quite spicy.

Nasi Lemak Wanjo don’t skimp out on the portion of Sotong and the sizes of each sotong was quite big compared to other nasi lemak eateries.

The sambal by Nasi Lemak Wanjo is the sweet type but if you are a spicy sambal lover, don’t be put off by that. It tasted absolutely delicious, mildly spicy and paired well with the aromatic santan rice. And if you are yearning for a spicy kick, their sambal sotong is a must to order. The sotong was fresh and tender and we loved how the sotong soaked up the sambal that was cooked in it.

Price wise, we wouldn’t call it cheap since it is an authentic Nasi Lemak spot at Kampung Baru. But at least it was reasonable enough as we took 2 side dishes and we feel you get what you paid for. Moreover, it taste absolutely delicious hence we don’t mind the price tag,

Edit: We also tried the popular Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa which was mere walking distance away. Truth to be told, taste-wise is wasn’t up to par hence we decided it’s not worth reviewing.

There are lots of delicious nasi lemak stalls around Petaling Jaya area such as Nasi Lemak Bumbung and Nasi Lemak Kukus SS12.  Joining this list is Nasi Lemak Goreng Chef Fauzy, a household name in Petaling Jaya which had recently caught our attention due to its unique twist of this widely beloved dish.

Since 2011, Chef Fauzy has appeared on TV, magazine and newspaper write up countless times. Despite his stall’s popularity, he is still humble and friendly towards his customers. He saw us with a tripod and camera, and can’t help but to ask us our opinion in this dish. This shows how much he care about his craft. We definitely admire chef who ask for room for improvement.

Chef Fauzey sell fried nasi lemak, or more commonly known as nasi lemak goreng. Located behind a bus station at Jalan Othman, Petaling Jaya, Nasi Lemak Goreng Chef Fauzy whips up one of the most interesting  modification of nasi lemak dish. Instead of serving regular santan rice, they fried the santan rice with their homemade sambal sauce over a hot wok. It’s also worth mentioning that the sambal here is cooked for 4 hours every morning.

A standard plate of Nasi Lemak Goreng with fried chicken cost RM8 which is topped with cucumbers and soft boil egg.

The rice was soft and moist, packed with “wok hei” flavour. It was a tad bit spicy and clearly the best part of the entire dish. Having a “wok hei” flavoured sambal rice instead of regular nasi lemak rice was certainly an interesting experience.

The sambal was super spicy and flavoursome, will certainly please spicy food lovers. It should satisfy your palates if you enjoy the spicy kick of sambal. The fried chicken was double fried to ensure crispiness while maintaining the moist on the inside. Personally we felt there was nothing too special about the spicy but it’s still good enough.

If you are not adventurous enough you may opt for the regular Nasi Lemak Kukus (RM7) which was pretty good as well.

Verdict 

Although the pricing is on the higher side for a food truck, Nasi Lemak Goreng Chef Fauzy is one of the better nasi lemak we have tried in Petaling Jaya.

Our colleague preferred the regular Nasi Lemak Kukus compared to the Nasi Lemak Goreng as he described the dish was “a little less heavy, and balanced out the greasiness of the rempah.” If you are conscious with what goes in your mouth, you know which one to pick.

If there is one dish that no Malaysians can say “NO” to, it would be nasi lemak.  While we do love Village Park’s rendition of this dish, eating the same Nasi Lemak over and over again can be boring. Also, Village Park can get too crowded for one to dine comfortably.
