Dapur Kak Za — Restaurant in Shah Alam

Heard good reviews about this place. Decided to give it a try. Was there after 11am and Nasi Lemak berlauk is still available although with lesser choices; but understandable as they are only serving for breakfast. Took nasi lemak with daging goreng kunyit; my partner had nasi lemak with sunny-side up egg. We both had hot Nescafe for drinks. The verdict: nasi lemak wasn’t too “lemak”, would be good if you could taste the “cream” with a hint of the fragrance of pandan leaf perhaps..in other words, the taste of the “lemak santan” and the smell of screwpine leaf, were severely lacking here. Sambal was good. The taste of proper well sautéed dried chillies is there, it is neither too spicy nor overwhelmingly sweet like other places. Keep it up. My daging goreng kunyit was ok. It was tasty and the meat was not too hard, each bite can be chewed properly, good sign that they used good cuts of beef. No peanuts and ikan bilis goreng + a quarter of hard-boiled egg + 1 small cut of cucumber. Now this is the reason why I gave a 3-star rating. Apart from the not-too lemak rice, the basic condiments for a proper nasi lemak were disappointingly missing. I asked for kacang-ikan bilis, to which the lady who served me said they don’t serve those here, and when I got my plate served, I was evidently not pleased to see that I only got a quarter (but looks less than a quarter though) of telur rebus + 1, yes, ONE small piece of a cucumber, ..like seriously? Plain water was free-flow and on-the-house, thank you, but was a bit put-off with the smell of the cups, although they were washed but had a strong smell of fish/egg (bau hanyir) Overall for our meal, we were charged RM14.60 (for 2 person) I wonder how much is a serving of nasi...

Located in front of Island Steamboat. So you can park at the parking lot besides Island steamboat.

Food 8/10 So far, the best sambal I have tasted. The heat and sweetness from the onions are balance. Have a various of lauk to add on. They served a variety of kuih to choose. ( based on availability )

Ambient 9/10 Quite away from the main road, so you can enjoy quiet morning from bustling road. You can chilling and relax with your family and kids while eating nasi lemak on your Sunday morning. Plenty of...

One of the best sambal for nasi lemak.... The Sambal is thick, slightly sweet and spicy. They don't have peanuts and Anchovies as condiments here, otherwise I will give them full marks..!

Open till quite late in the afternoon. Spacious Restaurant with lots of seats here. Baby Chair is available too.

It's a bit difficult to park your car here when there's a lot of customers. Overall it's one of the best Nasi Lemak in Klang Valley for sure...!...
