The quest for good nasi lemak is back so googled for some suggestions and Nasi Lemak Basmathi in Klang was highly rated at 4.0.
Since it is still Chinese New Year, we decided to take advantage of the traffic and take a leisurely 38 minutes drive to Port Klang from Kelana Jaya.
It was a pleasant drive. One cannot miss the restaurant with the big signage in green lettering โNasi Lemak Basmathiโ greeting you.
Ordering was a breeze and the girl at the cashier was very pleasant at explaining the menu and taking our order.
We ordered one nasi lemak telur goreng (RM5.90), one mee udang (RM13.90) and one cham panas. The cashier punched in our order and out came the receipt with our order number similar system to those fast food joints. Total bill RM22.50.
We waited not too long before our number was called.
We were not disappointed. Sarina enjoyed the nasi lemak and mee udang very much. The sambal is slightly sweet (not overly sweet) in which I favour as I get older. The mee udang or prawn mee (Malay version) was also good. The broth was quite thick unlike the Chinese version of the dish and slightly sweet probably due to the keledek (yam) which reminded me of the iconic mee rebus.
We tapau-ed the nasi lemak for dinner but we felt it tasted better dining in when it was served hot and the compulsory condiments like kacang and anchovies were still fresh and crunchy.
Our only gripe is the seating which was limited for those intending to dine in as the floor space was very limited.
Oh yes, this nasi lemak joint is 24 hours! It is worth the drive if one have the craving in the wee hours of the morning.

Can we malaysians please modify normal nasi lemak rice to basmathi rice?
So, firstly parking no need scared alot of slots to park at night. ๐๐๐ Then we came to the counter to order, very modern, like a fast food chain. ๐ง๐งโโ๏ธ๐ง Numbers on our receipt was mentioned with their call outs with their mic, very interesting!! ๐โโ๏ธ๐ค๐ข Self service with trays, we brought our beautiful plates to the table. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฝ๏ธ Decent amount of basmathi rice, the spoon of this rice will just kiss your taste buds gently when its slight basmathi and coconut milk umami hits. ๐๐ฅฅ๐ Paired with their sambal with balanced sweetness, spiciness, & saltiness. MMMM โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ And when the fried chicken and its bits comes in with the rice and sambal FUIYO i tell you, you need to try this man. ๐๐๐ Of course they didnโt forget the traditional kacang, ikan bilis and timun. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ RM 10.80 for one plate to this date, considering its large rice portion. Very versatile price. ๐ท๏ธ๐ท๏ธ๐ต Environmentally, i like the vibes. โ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ Perfect vibes to play your mobile legends or your wang zhe with your mamak mates when itโs not raining lah. ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ All in all, 10/10 a very gentle plate of nasi lemak, no overpowering saltiness, spiciness nor sweetness. ๐๐๐

ย ย ย Read moreFinally made my way to Nasi Lemak Basmathi Kg Jawa Klang, and it was a delightful experience! What immediately stands out is their use of Basmathi rice, which gives the nasi lemak a wonderfully fragrant aroma and a lighter, fluffier texture compared to traditional nasi lemak rice. It's a subtle but impactful difference that elevates the dish. The sambal was a perfect balance of spicy and sweet, with a good depth of flavor that complemented the rich coconut rice beautifully. I opted for the ayam goreng and it was well-prepared and delicious. The usual accompaniments โ crispy anchovies, roasted peanuts, a slice of hard-boiled egg, and cool cucumber slices โ were all fresh and added the essential textures and tastes. The stall itself has a typical local charm, often bustling with patrons, which speaks volumes about its popularity. If you're in Klang and looking for a nasi lemak experience that offers a slightly different, more aromatic rice foundation without compromising on the classic flavors, this is definitely a spot to check out. Highly recommended for a satisfying breakfast or any...
