Restaurant Muara (Imperial) — Restaurant in Sarawak

last week i came here. it was my first time. so i sat at this long bench with a huge table outside the premise. i sat for quite good minutes and waited for maybe one or two of the workers would come and took orders but none appeared. it was a moment of blur since i did not see any notice put up saying that you SHOULD GO DOWNSTAIRS TO THE COUNTER AND TAKE YOUR NUMBER AND THE BARCODE ORDER!!!😑 and this barcode thing was where you would see the menu and order your food. i was impressed but still in rage mode. to the owner, please put up a notice telling your customers what to do when they arrive here. like me, it was my first time and i did not have any clue about what to do and how to order and i was sitting there waiting and waiting for the table service which did not exist. and worst, my order was forgotten! i made order using the barcode and few minutes later, my order was pending. and i called a worker and he seemed to be blur and asked me what was my order😑. i tried being positive and maybe they had overlooked at my order because there were many customers during that time. but there was not many customers though😑. when the food came, it was not according to what i requested. i ordered not spicy sambal but the sambal was sooo spicy. i ordered sambal cuttlefish but the cuttlefish was rotten and mushy. it had bad aroma and bad taste and i did not eat it. not a 5 star. not even 4 or 3 or 2. i'm sorry but i rated this...

I went for the first time at this branch since my last time years ago at Muara Waterfront branch. Waited 8 minutes until a waitress took our order. There were 6 tables(all already served) when we came in, and there were 16 of us. Maybe the service was a bit slower in the midnight?

A colleague commented that the fried noodles tastes like those Mee Goreng Bungkus you get for RM 0.50 in 90's school canteen. The fried rice (Nasi Goreng) is basically rice fried with egg, seasoned with salt(& MSG of course). No shallots, no chillies, no garlic, no onions, could my colleague accidentally ordered Nasi Goreng No? But their specialties are lalapan so I can understand it (probably don't put it in the menu if you can't make a decent interpretation of the food)

And I can't imagine anyone who dine in during lunch hour here. There was no flow of air, it was close to 36°C in there! Can you imagine if there was 10 tables smoking, how much smokes and heat would be there? Muara...

The restaurant is clean, organized and service from the waitress was quick.

We ordered 3 types of dishes - 1 x nasi lalapan ikan kembong, 1 x nasi lalapan tenggiri and 1 x bakso soup noodles. Super delicious and we really enjoyed our tasty lunch - both the fishes is fresh and fried to perfection. Love the ulam and spicy sambal.

Do we careful on the level of spiceness of the sambal. The pedas type is really burning hot. Best to order sederhana (medium) or kurang pedas (less spicy) type.

Definitely will...
