194: Nasi Lemak Mali's Corner

If you are staying in the vicinitiy of Taman Melati or visiting that area often, Nasi Lemak Mali located at Jalan Malinja,Taman Bunga Raya would not be something new for you as it is for me.
Since the first time I went there in year 2003 after our design subject with some of my studio-mates (that was during my Architecture degree in IIUM,Gombak), I had fall in love with the taste of their nasi lemak ayam and char-kuey-teow. 
Two things that made me always coming back for more are the  sambal and chicken. Seriously, the sambal add extra kicking to the whole taste and it had never change since the first time I remembered trying it.

Aside the great nasi lemak, char kuey teow is their another signature menu. People who are queuing for char kuey teow is always way longer than nasi lemak merely because they have to cook at instance compared to the ready prepared nasi lemak. But most of us are always willing to stand the long queu because it's worth the waiting!
Despite of their street hawker style (open air dining tables without proper cover unless when it's rain, they would have this extendable metal decking roof), the customer wouldn't care of that because the food is really tempting. Especially nasi lemak, they are unbeatable! From what I saw the numbers of customers are keep increasing by the years.

What triggers me to write about this was due to Ezal's craving for nasi lemak Mali @ Taman Bunga Raya last two nights. As it has been quite a while since the last time we went there, I was a bit excited to go. But, the fact that it was Annissa's last episode airing on TV3 that night, we decided to go-off after 11pm. All the way from Taman Maluri to Taman Bunga Raya just to satisfy our tastebud in almost midnight hour.
Somehow, as we reached Jalan Malinja, the stall was not there, the space seems like has been cleared up. As we slowed down, a guy was signalling us by pointing towards the right side. I believe he was trying to tell us to go to the other branch at Mali's Corner, Danau Kota. Finally, we made our way to Platinum Walk, in case some of you are not familiar with the area, it was a shop lots which is near to the uptown (late night market) in Danau Kota.
With this I declare that I'd been a loyal customer of Nasi Lemak Mali for 8 years. To see how their business expand, from a street stall to a 3 shop lots (including the upper stairs of Mali's corner) restaurant, really inspiring one!

p/s: are you hungry now?? ;)
