Restoran Hakim Jalan Kristal — Restaurant in Shah Alam

So, a friend of mine dragged me to Restoran Hakim, a mamak spot I hadn't visited before. He went all in with a plate of nasi kandar for dinner, but I played it safe (or so I thought) and settled for just one piece of fried chicken – breast part, to be specific. You see, I had a full meal waiting for me at home, lovingly (and a little menacingly) prepared by my wife.

But here’s the problem. That fried chicken? Absolutely next level. Crispy on the outside, yet ridiculously juicy and tender on the inside. Normally, the breast piece turns out dry, like it’s been through a desert survival course, but this? It was like biting into a perfectly seasoned cloud. And the best part? The chicken is fried in fresh batches, so you're always getting it hot and crispy – no sad, reheated leftovers here.

I won’t lie. I was this close to grabbing some rice and curry to go with it, but the thought of my wife’s reaction (love + fear = survival instincts) held me back. I could already hear her dramatic gasp if I came home full. So, I resisted, but let me tell you – the taste still haunts me. That crispy, juicy bite lingers in my memory like a song stuck on repeat.

Would I go back? Without a doubt. But next time, I might need a good excuse if I get caught sneaking in extra bites. Maybe, "Just doing some taste-testing for science, dear?"...

Hakim Nasi Kandar is a fantastic spot, especially popular among the local crowd and packed with UiTM students, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere. It’s an ideal place to grab a meal and meet up with friends, with a casual setting that feels welcoming and comfortable.

The food here is excellent, offering a range of delicious, authentic nasi kandar options. I tried the fried chicken with the signature kuah banjir (mixed gravy), and it was packed with rich flavors. The rice was fluffy, and the curry combinations brought the whole dish to life, making it a satisfying meal that’s hard to beat. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, which is a big plus, especially for students and those looking for a hearty meal on a budget.

Despite the popularity, the staff handle the crowd well, keeping the line moving quickly and providing friendly service. The restaurant is clean and organized, making it easy to settle in and enjoy your meal.
