Customer picks from a wide variety of dishes and curries to go with white rice. The rule of thumb, there has to be an overflowing amount of sauce\/ curry to banjir (flood or drench) the rice.<\/p> <\/p> Photo: Chef Fauzey Nasi Lemak Goreng<\/p> This food truck located behind the old bus station at PJ Old Town, Section 3, offers a very unique twist to Malaysian good ol’ nasi lemak. The rice is fried with Chef Fauzey’s secret spice mix instead of the usual rice cooked in coconut milk. Popular side dishes are the ayam goreng berempah (spiced fried chicken) and sambal prawns. Long queue during dinner time when the stall opens. A meal would cost less than RM10.\u00a0<\/p> Location:<\/strong> Jln Othman Bus Station, Petaling Jaya <\/p> Photo: Ana Ikan Bakar Petai<\/p> Fish (Siakap (Seabass), Snapper, Tilapia, etc.) or other seafood grilled with chili paste (dried chili, ginger, garlic, onions, dried shrimps, turmeric, galangal), tamarind juice, kaffir lime leaf, brown sugar, salt wrapped in banana leaf.
