Murni Discovery, USJ 9, Subang Jaya

After experiencing their very overwhelming and successful business in SS2 (1st branch), Murni had (well, expected) to continue their business legacy by opening 2 more new branches. As mentioned, both of them are respectively located at Sunway Mas Commercial Centre and USJ 9 , Subang Jaya.

The branch at USJ 9 is very easily located. USJ 9 is right opposite Taipan (USJ 10),come directly opposite of Taipan and you'll be able to locate Murni Discovery fairly easy. Not to mention, being located in the middle of the shop lots row and it's very bright neon lighted sign board attracts attention too. The difference between Murni Discovery and the original Murni is that Murni Discovery is much more organized; in terms of paying the bill and getting the waiter/waitress's attention. Also, tables and chairs could be placed more comfortably and safer due to the larger space the premise has.

At last, a complete menu! 1 of the confusion that I've always encountered while dining in SS2's Murni is that the non availability of a menu. Imagine having to ask the waiter to 'chant' (yapping all their food in a chanting manner while being able to catch just 1 or few food name) all their food and yet having trouble to decide what to order after that. Most of the food that I've ate though came from recommendations or blog reviews. Rest assure, the food here are very similiar, if not 100% taste the same as their original branch.

Ribena Special and Mango Special. These ice blended flavored infuse drink is the ultimate cooling concoction after a very tiring and hot day. Depending on the flavor ordered, a few sweet ingredients could be found; nate de coco, watermelon, lychees and longans. The sizes ranges from small to large being Small - RM 4, Medium - RM 5, Large - RM 7. Seen on the picture are Medium sizes.


Nasi Goreng Maryland (RM 10). Comes with a sunny side up egg and fries by the side. As reviewed by me on the 1st Murni Branch, my friend had actually said this was good. Rice was fragnant; spicy enough and chicken was crispy. The only complaint was that the chicken had this 'out of refrigerator' texture; something that is not avoidable in most mamaks.


Nasi Goreng Chicken Chop (RM 10). Similiar to the above dish but with grilled chicken covered in gravy. Very tender chicken meat texture when grilled method is opted.


Chicken Napoleon (RM 12). This dish is pretty unique in a way as it is first being grilled together with ham, sausage and cheese to get it's inner flavour. Then, it's being coated and deep fried to produce the very crispy outer skin. The result, contrasting textures and a burst of ingredient's flavor (cheese helps alot). There's also a Nasi Goreng Chicken Napoleon priced at RM 13 or RM 14 for the big eaters.


Nasi Goreng Ayam Pandan (RM 7). Honestly I find this very worth as the chicken portion is very huge; with the thigh and drumstick part. My friends review: This was good, chicken was aromatic.


Mee Raja (RM 8). You get to choose between 3 infused flavors here as compared to their 1st branch - Tom yam, black pepper, original. I picked the tom yam but felt not much hint of it. Maybe they are trying to not over power the orignal taste. All in all this is 1 fried noodle dish that I would personally recommend; very fragrant and tasty with loads of prawns and crabmeat. The very large portion for RM 8 also make it money worth. Mee raja's texture somewhat resembles wanton noodles; but fried instead.


Maggi Goreng Special (RM 4.50). Suspected they used 2 pieces of instant noodles; and loads of sambal added while frying. Fiery and spicy; worth a try for it's huge serving and price tag.


Roti Beckham (RM 6). Among 1 of the fancy names of their roti; with differences of the ingredients. Roti Beckham has tuna, egg, cheese, turkey and bacon all wrapped up in a layer of roti telur. I wonder though how do they associate the ingredients with Beckham. None the less very tasty for a change from your usual rotis!

Best Nasi Lemak in Town, Seapark, Petaling Jaya

After so many years of experience eating one of the best food found found in Malaysia, doubtfully the nasi lemak; I have concluded that I actually have found the best one! I'm sure you could say that nasi lemak is one of the favourite dish for all Malaysians and is eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper; anytime of the day. This Indian stall here in Seapark (SS21) prepares a great tasting and aromatic nasi lemak which I enjoy and have often cravings for. The stall has no specific name since it's a nightly rented section of a coffeeshop named Sun Fatt Kee. I simply called it 'Seapark Nasi Lemak' whenever I mention to friends; while I heard other names like 'Pelangi Nasi Lemak' (a snooker centre named Pelangi nearby), 'Maybank Nasi Lemak' (Maybank beside) or 'Sun Fatt Kee'. If you happen to pass through this stall by driving, just slow down and look thoroughly at what most of the patrons are having. I bet 99% are having their specialty, nasi lemak ayam!

In my opinion, what makes a good plate of nasi lemak would be it must have fluffy and aromatic white fluffy rice cooked with coconut milk. The sambal would be the other requirement; just spicy enough to compliment while retaining the rice's flavor. The condiments (anchovies and peanuts) must be crunchy. Not to forget, it must be served piping hot. That said, I felt Seapark's nasi lemak has met all the above requirements. The rice and the sambal totally passed the passing grade with flying colors. Do note however the sambal version of this store is a little sweet; but I honestly loved every bite of the rice and sambal combination. The fried chicken; is one of the crunchiest one could find in mamak stall's quality! I sense herbs to produce the great marinating recipe in it. Sunny side up egg was cooked perfectly the way it should be. The nasi lemak is also served on banana leaf; which brings the flavor out! My relative from Singapore even complimented that the nasi lemak here is better than Madam Kwan's, which prepares the more 'premium' version.

Iced milo and iced limao. Quantity and quality like what you would find in normal mamak stalls.

The section where they prepare your dishes and drinks. It's pretty amazing that since they are always busy with orders coming in, they had adopted the specialization method whereby one person would fry the eggs only, the other frying chickens, frying noodles, etc. Some may argue that the place is not that hygienic, but well, good food comes in all kind of place right! What's more I've seen worst kitchen environment in some closed kitchen with a very high end type dining places.

Seapark nasi lemak is very easily located; being nearby SS2. Do google map for SS21 or Seapark to get directions from your location!

Murni, SS2 Petaling Jaya

When it comes to food, Malaysians are truly united; despite being diverse and multi cultured. Mamaks should be given national recognition as it's the only place where you'll find the Malays. Chinese, Indians and other races eating at the same place (Halal place of course)! Also, Malaysians are very brave as they do not mind in risking their health/life by eating at parking lot with table and accompanied by hidden rats/cockroaches on street! Good food rules! Lol.

Well, Murni; which is located in SS2, Petaling Jaya is different from other normal typical mamaks. From what I've heard, the owners are of Baba Nyonya heritage; rather than mamaks (Indian Muslims). The foods are varied and are very much more special while retaining the normal mamak foods if compared to typical mamak stores. Honestly said, I've tasted a few food items from there; and most of it are very tasty! Albeit more expensive if compared, the food quantity and quality made up for it.

All the tables are packed together in the restaurant and other shop's hallway. Heard the restaurant was in trouble previously as they placed their table on the parking lots outside. Previously the amount of tables and chair reached till 3 rows of shop lots and parking lots; all filled with people. Imagine the brisk business!

Ribena special. We shared this large cup of ice blended 'gao' ice blended Ribena. Comes with loads of nate de coco, lychees and honeydew. Refreshing!


For a very late unhealthy rare supper, I had this Nasi Goreng Maryland. Sinful yet so tasty! Basically it's their fried rice with fried chicken chop topped with a sunny side up egg. I especially like their fragrant fried rice but will be much better if they add in more chili padi! Personal preference. Comes with prawn/fish crackers at the side. What did I say about multi cultured? West cuisine meets east.


Roti Hawaii. Interpreted roti with hamburger meat, sausages, eggs and pineapples filling topped with mayonnaise. Guessed the pineapple gave the name Hawaii to the roti.

The total bill came up to around RM20 for 2 food items and 1 drink. Very satisfying and fulfilling supper!
