Nasi Kukus Sotong Besar • Shah Alam Branch — Restaurant in Shah Alam

GREAT FOOD, COSY ATMOSPHERE, AWKWARD STAFF

The Good Come here with family of 12 adult & 2 toddler. Table provided as ady booked earlier. Fast service. Waiting time after order less than 5min. Location easy to find with huge red signboard. Great food with reasonable price. Nasi kukus sotong besar RM15.00/set. Fruit juice RM3.00/glass. Signature dish is 'nasi kukus sotong besar'; deep fried battered squid served with steamed rice. Taste good & delicious. Takeaway leftover food very neat. Tupperware & tealive-style cup.

The Bad 1st time customer quite awkward. There's no waiter come/ collect order to yr table. Need to self-counter/ order via beepit.co. Menu interface via Beepit.co not user friendly. No search button, item not sorted (alphabetical, lowest-high price, etc). Need to repeat scroll thousand time to search for specific menu. We come around 9.00pm & most of main dish (eg: nasi kerabu, nasi lemak) ady sold out. Close on 11.00pm.

Verdict Advisable to come here with empty stomach, fully charged smartphone & good internet. Overall enjoyed & satisfied...

Modern concept local eateries which will surprise you with its waiter-less waiter. Wait, what? Yes, menu are on QR, sent by robots (AGV we would call it in factory). Plenty of spaces that lets you worry less on space but more on what to choose on the menu! It has a lot of food, locals and western. The most popular is of course the sotong besar, which has generous lightly fried sotong, served with white rice and its kuah & sambal-side. Second i would suggest is the lamb, dipped with black pepper sauce, a bit spicy for starters or kids, but normal for me (if compared to ayam gepuk spiciness). Most dishes served with plain white rice, no fancy colored biryani...

The first Nasi Kukus Sotong Besar restaurant that I went was in Klang. Only after in 2018 that I know there is a branch nearby Shah Alam which is this restaurant.

When it was first opened, it only occupied 1 shoplot, now it is much bigger, occupying 2 shoplot. Those who know what they want to order can just go to the table and scan the QR code to order online. Fast and convenient, no need to queue to order the food.

What I love here is their coconut shake and Nasi Kukus Kambing Bakar. Never fail to order this menu repeatedly.

Anyway I'm surprised today to see the robot server playing Raya song while serving the customer. Such an...
