Village Park Nasi Lemak @ PJ Uptown

Advantages of being a Malaysian, you get to eat all kind of foods from the vast multi cultural mixture in the country. One of the all time favourites Malaysian food is of course Nasi Lemak. My wife is a big fan of it, and the question is where is the best nasi lemak in KL? My sister brought over to try out the all famous Village Park. I knew it existed, but never know the exact location or try it before, because its actually quite far from my house for a morning breakkie. Covering it for you here now.


Village Park Nasi Lemak Restaurant is basically located in the Uptown of Petaling Jaya, and it's just along the shoplots behind the row facing the LDP highway. It's easily found because they will have this blue tents put up in front of their twin shoplots. Looking at the crowd, you bet it is good.


While making our way in, can't help to notice all the newspaper cutting stick at the doorstep. Newspaper, and a famous face, our current Prime Minister eat here as well. My sister told me this place got even more famous after his visit. Can't see why, because I don't think our PM is a food critics :P


More photos of celebrity and Datuk Datin in the cashier area, and easy face if Dr. Mahathir eat here as well. Why not =)


This is the queue you will see if you come here, and here is a piece of advice will save your misery. The queue is ONLY for TAKE AWAY! Don't line up here. Go straight in to the staff and look for a seat. They will take your order from there. Now you know =)


Staff churning out plates and plates of Nasi Lemak...


This is the first shoplot on the entrance, yellow light, marble table and good food. The entire place is air-conditioned, so no worries. The ventilation is good, and there is no funny kitchen smell as well. All hygienic.


More seats and tables on the 2nd shoplot, and no matter which corner you sit, there will be their staff around. Good services.


We got our table, and it's common to rub shoulders with other patronise to savour the nice Nasi Lemak. No people seems to be bother and chat their life while feasting.


We order the usual Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken and how it is? It's good no doubt, but how good? In comparison to the Senibong Nasi Lemak, I would say the Senibong Nasi Lemak rice is better, more fragrance. The difference is, Village Park manage to package it to a nicer experience with the hygiene and comfortable environment. That'st he price you will be paying. It's good, but I wouldn't say it's the best. If you have friends / family and don't know where to go, this will make a good heavy breakkie for everyone.


Next we opted for the Sotong top up on another plate for some variety. Again the comments are the same, not the best, but it's definitely a good plate of nasi lemak. I clear up all the sauces and every single drop of rice, so your judgement.

The food here is quite pricy, a plate of Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken is around RM7 and be prepare to pay more than RM10 per plate if you want Prawn / Sotong. For those that's looking for some other food variety, they also serve some good half-boiled eggs and toast bread. Good place for family meet up only if you can afford the price. Be prepred for RM10-12 per person for eating here, price to pay for eating at the same outlet as our Prime Minister =)
