Naili’s Place — Restaurant in Ampang Jaya Municipal Council

My wife insisted on breaking our fast here, as we used to patronize this restaurant quite often when my office was at Dataran Palma, about 15 years ago. But I had always enjoyed the Cucur Udang more than anything else, hence I was not so sure about the Iftar idea. But we went ahead anyway...

So, Najwa went ahead and place our orders online, and booked our table for an 8:00 pm reservation. As we arrived, it was drizzling and I couldnt find any vacant parking lot. I could see that the restaurant was still quite occupied by the Iftar crowd, justifying why the parking lots were full. So, I dropped off my wife and Najwa first, and went around twice in search for a close by parking.

As luck would have it, a single patron was about to leave, and his car was parked immediately in front of the restaurant. That was a most convenient one for me. When I arrived at the table, my wife already had a glass of teh tarik with her. But when she enquired about our earlier online orders, she was told by the lady at the cash register that she didnt receive any!! Apparently, every order needs to go through her, but the earlier online orders by Najwa were made to her Boss, and were not registered at all!!

Luckily, there were no other new customers, so they were able to prepare our orders quite fast. My wife ordered the Roasted Chicken Rice, while I requested for the Fried Cantonese Koey Teow with Beef, thinking that it would be served like my favorite Ipoh Koey Teow. How sadly mistaken I was, as it was nothing like I expected!! Najwa ordered the Nasi Goreng Kampung, which actually tasted quite nice.

My wife also asked for the Cucur Udang AND the Cucur Bilis, which we were supposed to be share amongst the three of us. But one thing to take note here, ALL the food servings were in such a big portion that none of us could finish any of our meals...Hence, we ended up packing all the Cucurs to go...

I guess the next time we come here, we have think about sharing...

I recently dined at your restaurant, and I wanted to share some feedback regarding my experience. Unfortunately, the service was quite slow and there were several issues that impacted my meal:

I initially asked the staff to check if my order had been received, but I never received a follow-up. My food was served without the accompanying drink. The drink was only ready about 10 minutes after I had started eating, and I had to pick it up myself from the bar despite there being many service crew members available. I ordered cucur bilis, but was served cucur pisang instead. I hope these issues can be addressed so that future customers have a better experience. Thank you for your attention to...

food were painfully mid/bland, tomyam doesn't have that kaw factor, moldy cauliflower, cut in big, awkward chunks, omelette was nice but a bit undersalted, paprik tastes more like soysauce, no paprik taste, location was ok, beside of busy road lots of rempit sounds, neslo tastes so damn cheap and not good, despite a hefty price we pay for it (rm5.9), rice was also taste almost stale, paying rm2.40 for rice like that??...
