Surprisingly delicious meal at Rawang. Got variety of "ready made" meal such as -nasi kukus (Rice + curry + spiced fried chicken), -nasi ayam penyet (Rice + spicy sambal + fried chicken), -nasi ayam goreng kunyit (Rice + curry + turmeric fried chicken) I ordered nasi kukus, the curry was thick, very nice flavour. The chicken also very delicious. Can choose witch part you want when order the meal. Sambal also very nice when combined with the rice. Also ordered iced tea. Also surprising delicious. A little bit sweet to me, but can add plain water (FOC) to adjust. Location quite hard to find because the signboard is in inside the shop lot, not outside. Parking is easy, got plenty. Just don't forget to pay. Environment is good. Not too hot although it is hot outside. Overall, very satisfied with all of these Nasi kukus: 9/10 Iced tea: 9/10 Environment: 9/10 Repeatable? 9/10 yess
