I recently had the pleasure of visiting Old Nanyang @ Bukit Jalil for the first time. The moment I stepped in, I was transported to a bygone era with its charming and nostalgic vibes. The menu was like a treasure trove of deliciousness, and I struggled to pick just one dish because everything looked incredibly tempting.
Finally, I settled on their famous lard rice, and boy, oh boy, it was a flavor explosion! The fragrant rice cooked in luscious lard, paired with juicy meat and veggies, was like a party in my mouth. One of the better ones if you ask me.
Of course, I couldn't leave without trying their signature kopi. Let me tell you, this coffee had a personality of its own! The bold and unique flavor took my taste buds on a wild ride. It was like a caffeinated roller coaster.

You will also notice that all the flies in Bukit Jalil would love to come hang out in this restaurant. You will be swatting flies off every meal.
The cleanliness of the restaurant could also use a lot of work. I've noticed on more than one occasion that cups got lip stains and "clean" cutleries have sauce from the previous user.
Overall, if you're not the picky type and want to test your immune system, this place is convenient and price is reasonable. But I can't go highly recommending this place until they've fixed some very...
