Ahmad Muzakin, thank you for a fantastic halal...

Restoran Ahmad Muzakin is a must-visit for anyone craving hearty and flavorful Halal dishes. The Claypot Chicken Rice is the star of the show. The rice, perfectly cooked in a claypot, has that smoky, burnt aroma that adds so much depth. The chicken is tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, and the addition of salted fish on top gives the dish an extra layer of umami that makes each bite memorable.

Flavour wise - everything was a bit on the salty side. Not unbearable, but it did take away from the overall enjoyment. Could just be the combo we picked, but i couldn’t fully savour the dishes despite the cooking being pretty decent.

That said, i did appreciate that the sotong goreng tepung wasn’t the overly-battered kind. The lighter coating worked well esp since we were already starting to get overwhelmed with all the heavy food.

Only downside beyond the saltiness is that parking can be a bit tricky in the area, just something to note.

All in all, decent spot with generous portions but go easy on the ordering (and maybe bring more makan buddies to...
