Mamu Junction Restaurant — Restaurant in Iskandar Puteri

Place: open air restaurant that serve your everyday mamak food, mixed in with some western food. Seats are as typical as it gets, metal chairs eith wooden tables, but the good thing is that the tables on the sides closer to the walls mostly have plug points. Interestingly, they have a wall of the history of the restaurant in drawing. Interesting indeed. Free WiFi!! Passwrd: 51515151. Easy. But the thing I didn't like about this place was the annoying flies occasionally invading my meals.

Service: efficient though not the most polite, but fairly fast (not on a full house when I was there). Didn't like that my orders were mistaken, ordered tandoori breast meat, but was given drumstick instead OR When I said no chilli in my nasi goreng, and the chillies given were so huge that i could have gone blind just by staring at them. Well, not that I mind, but it reflects on the service standard. Perhaps the waiter didn't understand English/Bahasa/sign language? Perhaps. The food was a little slow considering there weren't many customers. Took around

Food:

1. Ayam tandoori: standard mamak tandoori. Chicken was a little dry though. Verdict: sigh.

2. Nasi goreng ikan masin: standard mamak nasi goreng....

I had always drove past this restaurant late at night after my massages but never really stopped to eat or drink anything. Tonight, decided to try them out.

By the way, it’s the only eatery around the area opened till late. I visited at 2am plus and there was still a crowd in the restaurant. Saw many people having shisha here as well. Ample seating space though and right beside the parking lot. There’s loud music playing at the background which we found it rather annoying as we needed to scream to simply talk to each other. There was also a large tv screen featuring football matches. Would have preferred the background music to be softer.

Ordered the roti John chicken and my friend ordered the teh Tarik. Honestly the roti John was pretty good, oozing with sauce and mayo and the dish came with serving of fries and coleslaw, not your typical roti John serving but we appreciate it. Understand from my friend that the teh Tarik was fragrant and tasty but I only had the teh o kosong ice which was standard.

Prices were reasonable and I believed we would...

1. Very loud with music. Not my cup of tea, probably their way to attract younger customers.
2. Lousy waiters. Getting the attention of the waiters is one hell of an effort. They always look at anything except towards the customers. In other mamaks, they are like eagles. The moment they see me coming they already follow me to the table. But not this mamak, good luck getting their attention.
3. Long waiting time. I ordered nasi lemak ayam. 30min gone, still no food. A group of co-workers sat at the table beside mine, ordered and got theirs within approximately 15min. I asked the waiter (again, getting their attention is difficult), why beside got food already but mine not yet? Lo and behold, after 5min I received my food.

In short, i am astonished with their workers. The workers will look at screens, towards the kitchen, on a book, everything except towards the customers. Plus, the waiting time for a simple order is damn long. Really bad service. To note, My time here was between 6pm to 7pm on...
