Selangorlicious Eat Out @ Restoran Jamal Mohamed: One Malaysia Under One Roof!
It was my pleasure to be invited by Selangorlicious for this Eat Out at Restoran Jamal Mohamed.
“At first glance of the email invitation I thought it was on to hunt for the infamous Nasi Lemak Kukus Kankong!!! I was wrong, this place is a house of various Malaysia’s Local Delicacies!! It’s like One Malaysia’s Delicacies under One Roof !!!! Malay + Chinese + India”
* Everything is Halal Here*
Malay Food
Met which bunch of foodies and we start evaluating what to order for our breakies! Off course we will not missed out the crunchy and juicy Kankong pairing with the Nasi Lemak Kukus, RM 6.00 – RM8.00.
We decided to indulge in the rendang gravy and “rempah” Fried Chicken. It’s another common fried chicken!
If you are my loyal reader you should know I don’t take sambal or chili related food (No Reds for Me Pleaseeeeeee). Only Orange & Blacks is allowed by means Curry, Tomyam and Blackpepper.
Thus it is very crucial that the rendang gravy is flavoursome to compensate the forgone sambal on my Nasi Lemak! Also fresh cucumber is a MUST!! Surprise it did not failed my expectation!
Sadly another important aspect is the “Rice” which it is grainy BUT tasteless…It lack of the must have “Santan” aroma!
Let move to the Specialty of this plate, The KangKong. No doubt the kangkong is fresh and crunchy due to fact it cook to the right texture!!
“Perhaps they should improve in the rice aroma and ensure rice is warm when served then it would make a perfect Nasi Lemak Kukus.”
Chinese Food
Like I say Orange is allowed, now next is Orangey Curry Laksa, RM 4.50!
Me and Thomas was surprised that the curry taste so dense and aroma of the lime gives extra tanginess!! The bite “Tau Foo Pok” is so satisfying as it not as the normal airy type but filled with “tau foo flesh”. If know what i mean..LOL
Personally i still prefer Mei Hiong’s Curry Mee version due to the fact the broth is more “Curriness”.
I heard that this Aunty Gemok is famous with their famous Halal version of Penang Char Kuey Teow, Rm 4.50.
After being disappointed with few dish, finally there is something that taste amazing. Crisp + Crunch + Smoky is what you get when you order this TauHu Bakar.
In a few minutes all tauhu cube is gone forever from my eyesight!
Indian Food
How could we missed our Malaysia Famous Roti Canai Sections for Breakfast?
Start with a sip of fresh Teh Tarik, just right sweetness level but prefer more intense red tea flavor!
“So let’s start canaí “ing”’!!”
Overall, there are hit and misses. If you are looking for a place that can give variation in Halal selections of food under one roof then this is the place for you.

It defeats the purpose of having all under one roof when the food is not up to expectation. I'd rather go somewhere special to get better food..
Cindy Tong
sean: yeah that's the purpose all under one roof!
merryn: yeah I know right, better to go other place with better food! However, this will be a place for a big group of friends or family whereby all of them wants different food selection.
In addition if to compare from halal food version some of the food here (those with thumbs up icon) actually consider very good.
