Nasi Ayam Hainan Chee Meng (Bukit Bintang) — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

First of all I would like to thank for influencer to give their pov bout special delight in KL. This was so wonderful taste! Will be come back again soon

Nasi ayam hainan Chee Meng was located in Bukit Bintang. I and my wife ordered nasi ayam dada rebus, sotong telur masin and nasi goreng hainan. As an Indonesian, we have familiar meal such as nasi goreng so we tried it.

We visited the restaurant bout 7-8 pm and how lucky we are. We got the last piece of nasi ayam dada rebus. The flavor itself was unique. There were combination between spices, ginger and garlic. They are blend into great taste of chinese-malay. Dada ayam was juicy so you can feel the taste in every single bite.

Nasi goreng hainan, there were carrots, corn in a small piece, dice of chicken and peas. They were stir with brasmati rice and rhe flavor was also rich. It was tempting.

The last one is sotong telur masin. If you try the salted egg you will feel the same when you eat this dish. The level of ripeness was well-done. Not chewy but also tender squid.

For beverages, we ordered teh O ice and asamboi juice. This was the first time drink that kind of juice. Taste was good, bit of sour and sweet....

MENU VERDICT

1. Roasted Chicken Rice • I originally planned to try their steamed chicken rice but it was sold out. Anyway, the chicken rice is served with its sides, sauces and condiments. The rice is soft and tasty. The soup has savoury taste, not bland like typical chicken rice soup. The roasted chicken is meaty and the amount is plentiful. The chilli sauce is very good, not too spicy and has tasteful sweet kick. Highly recommended.

THE GOOD : • The place is quite clean and has plenty of seating • Efficient service by the staff and my order get delivered quickly • Surprisingly wide selection of food besides chicken rice like curry mee and even tomyam

THE NOT-SO-GOOD : • No online food delivery and self pickup (GrabFood or Foodpanda) • During my visit, it wasn't crowded but I saw the stanchions were setup in front in anticipation of big crowd because the place is actually quite popular. So, expect there may be queue outside waiting to be seated inside • The price of some menu can...
